Thanks for the wonderful pics everyone. We just had a blast. I will get my pics uploaded very soon.

It was nice to 'meet' you and the dogs even tho I didn't come over and say Hi.
Your dogs are beautiful!

Yeah, nothing like meeting dogs you can see "eye to eye' with. The
Great Danes are awesome dogs.

veggies, "borrowed" t'maters from Indy, Pat's pasta salad, Diana's 'tater salad,

doing his always GREAT job of keeping the troops fed.
THANKS, Carl!!





Here's the repeat of a Findlay FIRST ...
SmokeMutt & Cinder *willingly* trotting towards the Park with GranMom (aka Diana ~ 4/4DM) -
and leaving Dad at the Pavilion! WOW!

They'd all (including Bowser) trotted in with her earlier - and played In The Park -
without so much as a whimper ... not at all like earlier Gathurins when they'd <<scream>>
if "Dad" got out of sight - let alone on the other side of the fence!
THANKS to "Mom" for Dawg-Sittin my FurKids!!

[Later on Smokey <saw> me and started *yipping* - but GranPaw Carl came over and
gave him a reassuring {hug} and he quieted down and went back to playing.]
