It's been a LONG, hard, fight with ImageStation ...
but here we go!

with their Mascot / Pinata "Hobbs" -
who was FILLED with dog treats!





Chow Time:
Anna, Tonya, Liz, Pat & Diana sample the buffet ...
WOW! There was NO shortage of GREAT food - pasta, green beans, baked beans,
veggies, "borrowed" t'maters from Indy, Pat's pasta salad, Diana's 'tater salad,
and more YUMMIE deserts than you could believe!!





Amy gets <towed in> by Cincy & Spot ... we missed seeing Sadie & Ralph who
stayed home to
let Sadie recover from SUCCESSFUL sir jury last week.
The *head* belongs to Chief Chef Mr. Carl - stooped over a hot grill and
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.]

Keep feelin GOOD, Snoopy!!



Snoopy started having seizures again. The first one was yesterday morning as I was getting ready for work. He did okay (I guess since I work 9-3) the rest of the day but this morning he had another one. I am now out of valium so I had to call the vet to get some. The vet is planning on calling me this evening to see how he is doing. Snoopy did the same thing about two weeks ago. Had one on a Sunday morning and then again on a Monday morning and then was fine until now. Sure wish we could come up with why he is having them. Keep our Snoopy in prayer!

Keep our Snoopy in prayer!

Prayers said, {{{Hugs}}} sent - to Snoopy, You & Carl!

Hard to believe, after seeing him so Normal, Active & Happy on Sunday.
I hope his Good Days continue to far outnumber his not-so-good days.

More {{{Hugs}}}

Keep our Snoopy in prayer!

You bet, Diana. He looked really good & was sooooo happy on Sunday, it was great to see him again. We'll keep him on our puppy prayer list.

I think there were alot of pups feeling especially happy on Sunday. Wish I'd had my camera when Phred's three "walked" themselves to the gate all hooked together on their lead - too cute! And Jack came out from under the table quite a bit - I got several nice pictures of him. (all on the link I posted). It was really a nice day for all.

I loved everyone's photos!

I'll keep Snoopy in my prayers. *hugs*

[Cinder & Smoke]

... Phred's three "walked" themselves to the gate all hooked together on their lead -
too cute!

So THAT's how they got into the Dawg Park!!



I had 'em all coupled up on their 3-way Y-Thingy when we made a pit stop on
the highway - figgered I'd just leave 'em that way to make getting out easier.
We arrived and they started carrying on to get OUT of da Bus!

I let em out with the intent of hooking them to "their tree" while I unpacked ...
I THOUGHT they were hanging in the Pavilion while I got out the tie-out cable.

Uhhhh, NO - they *vanished*!

I looked over and they were being escorted through the double gates at the Park!

As I said in the Photos - this was the FIRST Tyme they played Happily & Quietly
IN the Park while I was OUTside of the Park!
Wonders will never cease!

Sincere THANKS to ALL who helped keep an eye on the Three Amigos!!
