    Thumbs down

    The Dogmobile is broke and broke good...it needs a new motor. It spun the front of the crank off, even the mechanic said he'd never seen that happen
    So I thought we could bring the truck instead. Well, we were at Lowe's last night and something happened to it...it wouldn't start and ended up having to be towed home No idea yet what's wrong with it.
    So there was no way we could all come in the car (4 dogs and 2 people DO NOT fit in a car...not our dogs anyway...lol!)
    I've been very aggravated and upset all day long

    Then....

    Sometimes people can surprise you with their kindness.

    A girl I work with knew how upset I was that I was going to miss our PT picnic that she offered to let me borrow her van for the weekend!
    I was in shock. It's not every day someone you work with offers to let you borrow their vehicle.
    We have worked together for 10+ years but it's not like we're best friends or anything.
    It's one of the nicest things that anyone has done for me in a very, very long time.

    So I guess we WILL be coming to the picnic on Sunday! I'm so happy I'm doing the happy dance

    I'm so sorry to hear that some of you won't be able to make it. We're really going to miss you, but we'll be thinking of you!

    klamjuz, I'm looking forward to finally meeting you!!! (yes, I know who it is)

    See you all on Sunday in my loaner dogmobile!

    Huney, Bon & Simba-missed so very much

    How very nice! You should probably save a couple cookies to give her as a Thank You from Pet Talk for letting you guys attend!

    So sorry we won't be there, Anna, give Bon a hug for me, okay? I know Huney doesn't even care that I exist, but give the girls kisses for me anyway. For those who have never been to The Dog Park ... wanna know where Anna is? Follow Huney's nose - when Anna isn't in the dog area, Huney is glued to the fence waiting for Mom Anna to return. No treats or games can distract her, either!

    We have arrived.

    Checked out the park. Hard to find if you don't have a GPS. Look for the Meadows in the park.

    We are wandering around the motel and town. I have lost Laurie's and Staci's phone numbers. I have my cell on for anyone that wants to call me.
    803-807-3992, free to any Verizon users.

    Laurie should be here soon. Can't wait to see everyone.

    "Hard to find"??

    Did'ja print out one of the MAPS?

    "The Meadows" is a large area within Riverbend Park ...
    the better landmark is "The Lodge" - the new "fancy" Pavilion which has
    a larger sign than the Dawg Park.

    The Hancock Parks District signs farther out point towards "Riverbend Park";
    which includes The Meadows, The Lodge, and the Dawg Park.

    Glad ya made it!

    I drove past it both times I went. I seriously think we could post a
    flag at the turn off point for out of towners. People do that here in Indy.

    Same here. Drove past the little road and had to turn around. The route has been memorized since then.
