oh dear..

sooo darn sorry you're not coming, joyce & ginger! hate when something like this happens. I wish I could wand every of you magically to findlay!

..looks like I'm coming! (....*knock on wood*..) my four day plan have shorten to one day, my sweet friend's gonna stay here & watch over for my two (two more!!) cats for me. so I'll be driving straight down there (in ol'bloppy car) early morning then leave right after the gathering - I don't think one day would hurt and I'll be having my pager with me in case of questions or cats are found!

mhmm, wow. the day is coming.. here I go travel again, see you all tomorrow!!

Gina - give the doggies all my greetings, okay? Wish I could be there, but that would require Paul's knee healing instantaneously, which cartilage has never been known to do.

Sunscreen, and hats everyone! I had my magical folding hat ready to go, too!

We just finished dinner with Sue & Kaige, Joe & Indy- what fun! Will post more pictures later, but here's a nice "group" shot (except for Joe & JoJoe) It was quite a feat to get them all to sit still!

All our pups got along great, we enjoyed getting to know Sue & Joe. See you all tomorrow!

Do you have any idea How FAR it is from Rochester to Findlay, OH ????

It's 6.5 hours (380 miles) ...

IF you plan to drive TO Findlay and back Home the same day -
that's 13 hours of driving - without figuring in any stops.

You're younger than I am - but that's more driving in one day than you should be doing!

And do you have any idea How to FIND Findlay, OH??

I'd certainly be looking for someone to Ride Along - other than the Pup!

lovely picture! everyone looks so sweet and natural there! hey, what did you guys hadd for dinner? sorry I didn't make it.

aw thank you phred. well, actually I have a place to stay over - two cities southeastern away in case a couple of sleep hours needed. but who can sleep worrying? I never been able to sleep anyway. so drive when you can! cats want me and I want them.

don't forget my successful roadtrip (first day was 14 hours total, to me, it was like five hours).. and being young helps!

yeah, I have the map and miles - only 6 hours, (being young) and everyone almost could come with me. thank goodness I didn't have to work.

anyway, I LOVE/MISS driving! (car stolen) and I can't wait. especially to meet you all.

karen, will do and crayola will help too!

hey, what did you guys hadd for dinner? sorry I didn't make it.

Barbequed chicken, corn on the cob, & baked beans (had to try em out to be sure they'd be good tomorrow! Also cherry pie ala mode. Sorry we missed you, too - drive safe, girl!

Indy could be a long lost sibling of Sadie!!

Wait till you see her for yourself- I think she looks like both between Sadie & Cincy!

[Cincy'sMom]

From that picture, she does look more like Cincy. That is it...she is the missing link between Sadie and Cincy. Either way, I think she needs to come live with me

[anna_66]

Hehe Amy...I see your up early this morning too

I would have loved to get together with you guys for dinner, too bad I had to work

See you all soon!!!

[Randi]

Most of you are probably up getting ready to go now - drive carefully! .... and remember to take lots of pictures.

Have FUN!!

[Kfamr]

Packing stuff up and getting ready to leave MI!

[Ginger's Mom]

I am so angry at myself for not making it there. I know you guys will all have a great time, and I will be checking in anxiously all day looking for updates and pictures. Please post plenty, have fun and give hugs to all of the dogs for me.

[Cincy'sMom]

What a great group shot Pat!! Can't wait to wait everyone tomorrow, but I think Indy may have to come home with me!! Indy could be a long lost sibling of Sadie!!

[shais_mom]

Well - Keegan had a bath tonite so she ought to be nice and clean for tomorrow. I have treats and things for her ready - not bringing any food tho I hope there's still some left when I get there!
Diana please save me a scoop of POTATO SALAD!
lol
Getting off at 11am - will try to sleep for about 3 hours then get up and come over - so hopefully I'll be there around 330-4ish.
Will call Phred's ringy-dinger when I'm on my way!

[wolf_Q]
