*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 25, 2008 ~

Let me ask something ~ I will probably know the dogs by sight but not all the two leggers ~ will we have name tags? Or is that too Kindergarden? Guess I'll figer it out by the end of the day

That would be okay by me. Given my advancing years, any help is welcome!

we've had name tags before - and we can do it again -
I will try to remember to pick up a box of stickers today.

I am sad to say we will not be able to come. Miss Hoppy has an upper respiratory infection that she has had for quite some time, and it is slowly getting better on two kinds of meds twice a day - which takes two of us, and we don't feel we could leave her alone for three days. She does not like car rides, so bringing her with us for a 13-hour ride would not be a good idea, we wouldn't want her to feel worse than she already does.

We were so looking forward to going, and especially meeting all the new people who will be coming, and seeing the friends we have met before once again, I was looking forward to baking the dog-safe and people-safe cookies and everything.

But Miss Hoppy will turn 11 years old sometime this week, and with her being sick, we just don't feel we could leave her alone.

(She hates the vet's office, and doesn't allow anyone but me to hold her without struggling, needs her meds twice a day, and her nose cleaned up - she doesn't use tissues like a human would - so boarding her with someone is not an option.)

I wasn't able to find any stickers for name tags so if someone else is going to be somewhere to pick some up go for it.

I have some 2" X 4" labels that would work just as well as the store bought name tags. I'll pack them in with my other stuff - along with a sharpie.

Thanks guys. And if anyone doesn't know what to bring as far as food, and wants to, I could PM the recipe for the dog-safe but meant for people, too cookies I always bring! They are simple to make, I promise! I cannot PM you my dog-shaped or bunny-shaped cookie cutters, but they are tasty even as plain squares.

They keep really well, so you could make them a couple days ahead of time, and there'd be no difference in taste or texture. They do break easily, though, so a flat box is better than a ziplock for transport.

I'm sorry to hear that Karen. I hope Miss Hoppy feels better soon.

[Karen]

Thanks, Kim! And I was so looking forward to seeing everyone, and watching Chipper scarf down watermelon rinds!

Sorry guys.... I'm not going to make it again this year.
My hip is really bad and I'm using a crutch, which is affecting my bad wrist. So my doc advised I not make the trip in case of an emergency. It's always something. I'll be thinking of you. Don't forget lots of pictures.

Awww ... NUTZ!

FEEL Better Soon ... (not 'FELL' Better) ... Plan for Labor Day!

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love dalmatians. They're so sweet. Honda's a bit old, she's ten. And I have noticed her just recently not being able to move as well, but she's still got a little spunk in her. Lol :-D I'm excited to meet you all. Yay I'll be sure to have some cash on me too for the tin. Lol I don't usually carry it.
