I'm home! Made it home about 9:10. Had to make a pit stop in Clarksburg to drop off my nieces. We are all pooped. Pulled up in the driveway to see Miss Tori peering out the window as always. Patiently awaiting our return. She went nuts when we walked in the door. I don't think she cared too much that I was there she was just extremely happy to see her big sister. Katie is curled up at my feet sleeping and Tori is sniffing and licking on her..lol..I'm sure she is getting all kinds of wierd doggy smells. I had a really good time and my nieces had a blast! They loved all the grown ups and all the doggies. I haven't even looked at my pictures yet. I'll try to get to them soon. Diana and Amy, we missed both you and your families. Can't wait to see you guys next week. Ok, I'm off to look at Staci's pics now.

{{{HUGS TO ALL}}}

Aw, looks like a great time! Glad to hear most of the gang has checked in and arrived safely. Hope the others arrive safely, as well.

Staci, those pictures are awesome. I tried to copy and paste my favourites but only got a red X. Phred, I just love your hat with the greenies on it. We have a similar dog walk up here for the SPCA.

Anyway, looking at the pictures and recognizing all the people and pets was fun....almost like I was there myself.

As for meetings, one day I will attend Findlay. Don't know when, but I won't be giving you any warning. Unfortunately I don't have a dog but hopefully someone will lend me their pup for just one day.

We made it home around 8ish or so. Glad to hear everyone made it home alright. Staci, Mark's almost sorry he didn't take you up on your offer for the xray Hopefully he's just really sore, but you know a man...won't go to the hospital until he absolutely needs to (tell you all about what happened tomorrow).

We really had a good time, will share a little more later but for now here's the link to our pictures...

Great pictures Staci, and Diana so sorry you weren't able to share the day with us. Hope Snoopy is doing better.

PS Slick, I'd lend you one of my pups any day...in fact Mark says if you want Bon you can have him

Staci, thanks for all of the great pictures. For me, way out here on the left coast - it is like looking at a family reunion - all the aunts and uncles are there and all of the cousins are sniffing each other!

That park is beautiful - and it sure looked like everyone was having a great time.

I wonder if I was able to steal Bon - if anyone would notice? But then there is Buster - or Keegan - it would be too hard to decide.

Phred, you are looking good - pretty dapper in that greenie hat!

Poor Bon!

Maybe The Boys should get out together more often ...
practice their Teamwork ...

Learn when to move their leg.

We had another "Award-Winning Performance" at PawsFest -

the second PT Winner was Ann's Hubby MARK who scored better than
a 9.5 average in Turf Diving.

It's a long story ...
Started during our picnic supper - when the Baby Chipmunks
started FALLING OUT of the Trees and running through the crowd!

Huney started *Lookin UP* at that point and never stopped >>>


We adjourned the picnic area and moved to the Kids Playground to give
Robin's WELL-behaved Nieces a chance to be Kids for a while.

Huney was developing a Stiff Neck from Chipmunk / Squirrel Watchin ...
Mark offered to take her on a Squirrel Hunt ...

OFF they went -at a dead run - Squirrel Hunter in the lead ...
"Dad" hangin onto the leash a few steps behind ...

Things started goin DOWNhill as Mark's leash arm & upper body got farther & farther
out in front and ahead of his feet ...

The Turf Dive was a sight to behold - but sadly, , not photographed.

Most of us gave him a 9.5 - Anna (slightly biased) awarded a 10 Plus.

He stretched out - almost horizontal a foot or two above the ground -
then landed spread-eagle on the grass.
Never lost his grip on Huney's leash ...
And Huney never took her eyes of the Squirrel in the Tree, either!



(NOTE: the "Slow - Speed Bump" sign!)

"C'mone, Dad! You're layin down onna job again!"





"Keep your eyes on your Squirrel at ALL times!"



He's UP!



"C'mone, Dawg! I've had enough *phunn* for one day!"
