I may have made a mistake on another picture ----

my beautiful daughter, Staci


LOL

And that does not mean that Staci is not beautiful but only that she is not my biological but adopted daughter!

How easily I am replaced

Tonya and I thoroughly have enjoyed looking at everyone's pics and did a lot of giggling over Anna's movie - especially my running commentery of Amy's eyebrow's with Tonya's camera!!!

Here are my pics -
I just checked in with Phred and he is home and HE IS POOPED!
we are off to bed ourselves.

Tonya thought I said that he is home and he pooped!
And she hasn't had anything to drink today!

Has Dad "adopted her" as the Third Daughter?

ROBIN ~

BEAUTIFUL Pictures of the day's activities!!
*NICE* Shooting!

[cyber-sibes]

Great photos! Robin, I love the one of Sherman sneaking up on that bag of treats! Did you notice how close to the picnic table & goodies he stayed the whole time? These pictures will bring back wonderful memories in the gray winter ahead (at least for us mid-westerners). It was so touching to see Tonya greeting Bowser, and Robin, your picture captures how special it was! I think it touched all of us That moment really celebrates how special our bonds truly are. And I think my dogs recognize many of the people/dogs that attend, too! Thanks everyone for sharing your pictures!

Does Brutus have a blue eye? He's so handsome!

Yes, he does! He's also very tall. I left when my SIL was ready to go home with her two boxers, but the the collies had not yet arrived. I came back- -- and I'm glad I did! Tim's dogs are awesome! Of course I had to come back to try some of Staci's culinary creation, and chomp a few more of Phred's delicious cookies...

[cyber-sibes]

and the dogs had a good time

[cyber-sibes]

All eyes were on Phred

I like how this pic of Jack and Star turned out-

[cyber-sibes]

Local friends of Star & Sherman's showed up:
Lucy (one of Star's favorites)

and her brother Brutus ( this guy can fly!)

Great pictures everyone and the video was cute, Anna. I haven't been able to go through all the photo albums yet and I'm still trying to upload my pictures. It seems to be a slow process and then it quit on me, so I'm trying again.

Tori is still wiped out today and has been sleeping away. The saying, "A tired dog is a good dog" is sooooo true .

Some questions from the west coast.
I saw the yellow wading pool in some pictures, but it doesn't seem as critical as during the last picnic. What was the temperature?
Tonya, did Bowser recognize you?
Phred, where are your pictures, please?

[Cinder & Smoke]

I saw the yellow wading pool in some pictures,
but it doesn't seem as critical as during the last picnic.
What was the temperature?

Temp at the Findlay Airport (a few milse west of the Park)
averaged 71* between 1:00 and 6:00 pm yesterday.
The HIGH was 75* at 3:00 pm.

Yesterday was quite a bit cooler and more comfortable than Memorial Day was -
and a LOT less humid.
(The New Mexican got a lil "chillie" a time or two - but I never saw her actually <shivering>!)
Several of the Pups ran through the pool, which was refilled more than once,
but I didn't see anyone actually <swim>.

Bowser and Zippy?
I missed it!
The Three Amigos had (willingly) trotted into the Dog Park with their GranMom (Diana);
and Zippy found Bowser before I got in there.
There's NO question that he *warmed up* to her ... see pictures to hopefully follow.

Pictures ...


ImageStation <crashed> on me last night AND again a while ago ...
grinds away for hours "loading" pix - then stalls and has loaded NOTHING!

We're trying - again ...

the temp was about 75 - nice day for the locals the New Mexican got cold tho
I think that Tonya saw Bowser - called him over to her and then when she started tearfully loving on him and he realized who she was.
