Labor Day Sunday Findlay BARK PARK- Sept 2nd

[Cinder & Smoke]

We made it back to the Ranch - A-OK!

Dad figgered we otta check in - let everyone know the Motel Cheap! Beddy-Buggz didn't
manage to haul us away inna night! We kinda "slept in" --- we wuz TIURD!

Woke up this mornin (finallly) to TRAIN Horns ... Dad sed "Hmmmmm ... wanna go WATCH?"
Perfektly Honest ... da "thrill" of a kupple thousand Iron Horses poundin the rails
hard enuff your teeth rattle anna guy inside HONKIN doze HORNZ ta make ya DEAF ... We sed "Sure Dad ... lead us on!"

Sittin inna lil lot across frumma old Amtrak Station in Fostoria ... TWO westbounders
roared thru towne ... almost side-by-side onna NS tracks ... just as Miz Staci called!
We hadda jump back inna Bus to *yap* wiff her.

Lil later we got *Honked At* by da guy drivin a Herd 'o Cats (CSX painted Chessie da Cat
onna lotta their engines) as he was slowin down da herd for a "bad signal" that
was gonna make him stop his "hot" train. Gotta BIG *wave* out the cab window, too.

Hour later we wuz headed east towards home an heard onna scanner dat da "Hot Cat Train"
finally got past the bad signal in Fostoria and they were gonna try to give him "good signals"
while he ran east ... a lil *hint* to "notch 'em up and run QUICK" ...
We pulled over inna lil parkin lot beside the tracks to *watch* ...

Sure 'nuff ... horns inna distance - black smoke above the tracks ...
Here come da CATS ... High-Ballin east!
Dunno if he really reko-nized da two WIDE-Eyed Mutts inna back door window or not -
but we gotz a *Honkity*Honk* anna *wave* affore he passed us -
then anudder lil *honk*honk* after Dad give him a BIG *wave*.
Guess dat Cat Driver alluz "Honks fur Dawgs"!

We train-watched around Barberton; then headed fur a swimmin hole.
Couldn't find a dock to dive offa till it strated gettin *chillie*.

NOW we gotta un-pack da Bus an store away da leftovers ...
and find da Camera inna Bus.

Betcha Dad checks da Albums affore he does much else!

Finally got my pics uploaded. A lot of mine are of Sammi. I don't see her much and really enjoyed watching her have fun the other day so I took a lot of her. Haven't taken many of Tori lately either so took quite a few of her also. I tried to talk Brandon into letting me keep Sammi but he won't got for it.....geesh! A dog that Katie actually likes and I can't have her

Sammi


Pretty and sweet Shadow

Sophia in the front and Brutus behind her. Sophia has a little bit of akita in her and I really thought she somewhat resemble Katie when she was a puppy.

Here she is again. I couldn't get a decent shot of her.



My cute little grandpup, Sammi

Someone joins her. I think it is Cincy. Hard for me to tell at that angle.

A Standard Poodle

A white one


Little Miss Lucy who I think we would all like to put in our bag and sneak her home with us. Tori thought she was going to have an easy target. This little girl put Tori right in her place and Tori never bothered her again. Loved it!


Brutus again

Anna and Brutus. Doesn't he have the longest legs. Too cute


Little Miss Mini

Phred, do you have treats in your hand (or, did you just give everyone treats)? Is that why all the dogs are by you?

phred keeps a fanny pack full of treats on his belt - so the dogs know if they have him cornered long enough - he'll give!

Great photos everyone!! Looks like everyone had a blast and that the weather was nice.

The hotel here has free internet! But I forgot my camera cable, or else I'd post the photos of Sara Loves her Tinky and me together!

[jennielynn1970]

These photos are great!! Sigh... wish I could have been there!!

I was out on my front porch last night, and my neighbor was walking their Golden Doodle, Madison. She had just been to the groomer, and was all nice and short and soft! She had these dorky barrettes by her ears though, lol. I really don't get the barrettes on dogs, lol. I swear she thinks she's a cat! She has 4 in her home, and she'll jump up on the arms of the sofas the way the cats do!!
