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

[4 Dog Mother]

Let's begin our day at home. Carl got to sleep in this morning - or at least he sort of did. Here's the first time I saw him - with 5 dogs.


Tucker wants to know what's going on - and up he goes - 6 dogs in bed with Carl


The next time Dazzi jumped up - now 7 dogs - wonder how much more sleep Carl got?



Aren't Dakota and Destiny just so cute together


Okay every one back to sleep now (Jack almost never gets on the bed- he was probably sleeping on his bed next to Carl's side of the bed.)


Ut oh, here comes trouble - I think sleeping is at an end now as Jasmine joins the crew!

Look who is waiting for everyone - yep that is Cinder and Smoke


Here is Honda - Monica's Dalmation - reminds me too much of my Snoopy boy I miss him!


Here is Joyce with Peanut behind her, Staci and Keegan and Laurie Baker


Let's see the clearest ones are Gini in the blue shirt, Monica and Honda, and Angie.


Staci with Lucy and Vinny (Justina's a local's dogs) - what are you trying to do make Keegan have heart failure?

Just wanted to check in and say that I made it home. I'm wore out, Tori and Zack are wore out and Miss Katie is ready to play. Poor girl was home alone all day and is happy to see us.

I had a great time and was happy to see my old friends and thrilled to meet new friends in person. What a wonderful surprise to see Slick and Gini there.

Diana, your pictures are great! I only took a few this time and I'll try to get them uploaded tomorrow. Too tired right now. Left at 9am and got home at 11pm. I'm wiped out!

FUN DAY!

Oh man what a day! And how exciting...Slick, our first international Pet Talker at Findlay! I have to say I did know it was her, but didn't know the second half of the surprise...our very own California Gini was there

I must say I had a WONDERFUL time and was so glad that we had a loaner dogmobile so we could ALL enjoy the day.
Even Bon got lots and lots of love and doggie treats (mostly coming from Gini and Slick) I want to personally thank them both for showing Bon so much attention and taking him for walks. He really enjoyed himself.

The group photo was pretty hard to get with so many people, so here's the best one I got along with a cute picture of Slick spending some one on one time with Bon and one of the surprise girls!

I didn't get many pictures but I'll post the ones I did get later after some much needed rest.

Diana, I'm loving your pictures. Looking forward to seeing more of them

Once again, a great day with great friends

[RobiLee]

Here are a few pics that I took. I was too busy talking and petting dogs so I didn't take very many. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's pictures!

Great pictures. Thanks for posting pictures last night, Diana. I did check it out before I went to bed, and was happy to have gotten a glimpse into the fun of the day. You know, I thought it was Slick, but then she posted somewhere (maybe Miss Hoppy's thread?) after she left so I decided it wasn't her. And when you said Gini, I didn't know you meant our Gini.

Anna, thank you sooo much for getting a group shot. It sure looks like a great group of people. I cannot wait to see everyone else's pictures as they get home, up and uploaded. We will be able to enjoy this meeting all week as more and more pictures and stories are posted.

Sigh, I really want to go some year, but driving 550 miles on unfamiliar roads on a holiday weekend has stopped me every year. Some day I will do it.

Hey ho!!

We made it back to Williamston around 9:30 tonight. Ashley is on her way to her parents and then heading back up to school. She'll call me when she gets in and I'll post that she's safe.

I had a great time as always and it was so awesome to see "old" friendly faces and especially the NEW ones!!

Slick, Gini, Laurie, Joyce, Grace, Mary, it so wonderful to finally meet you. Thanks again for the treats Slick. It'll keep our two happy for days.

Oh, and Justin is Jenn's boyfriend. Not husband... yet. LOL!

I'll post pics later. I'm pooped.

Hope you all had a good time meeting up again today. Wish I could have been there and not at work!

we DID!

Staci, I just your pants!!

aww THANKS!

it was a great day
Slick and Gini made it to the airport with no difficulty.
I took NO pix today!
I was too busy getting my fix of everyone that I won't see for awhile.
Keegan and I never even made it into the park today!


what a WONDERFUL weekend!!
I'm so glad everyone that got to come came, even with the price of gas!
I hope everyone gets to come again and for those that haven't been yet -
I know you are green with ENVY! lol

[shais_mom]

great pics so far "MOM"!! (my East Coast PET TALK MOM)
well I'm home and showered and ready to fall over - I told ZIPPIE I wasn't going to get online but needed to email Joyce so I did.
what a WONDERFUL day -
I knew that Clamjuz was Slick - I flat out asked her awhile ago and she couldn't lie to me but that didn't stop me from telling a few white lies along the way - and then a few weeks ago while I was on the phone with my WEST COAST PET TALK MOM - she couldn't stand it anymore (like a kid in a candy store ) she says I'M COMING! I can't begin to tell you how friggin excited I was. I didn't know if I would get to see Gini again for years! But I was sworn to secrecy so I of course only told one person - who I CAN NOT keep secrets from!!! *ZIPPIE*
Slick, Gini and I were able to go out to dinner last nite in Findlay and surprise Laurie and Mary at dinner
EVERYONE were very shocked to see GINI and SLICK BOTH there. And surprised I was able to keep the secret as well!!!
lol
Karen and Tonya both called and were passed around.
I finally left the park @ 10:10pm
it was a LONG TIRING DAY.
But welllllll worth it! I didn't take many pix tho - I was just toooo busy!

[4 Dog Mother]

Boy, I must have been tired last night! My last thread didn't post so I guess I pushed the wrong button so here is some of some special little pet talkers.

Dominic, you might be a little young to try and handle two dogs at the same time no matter how little they are!


and here we have two new "best" friends - Jasmine and Jonah - I don't think they hardly left each other sides














This is probably the best one of Jonah's face - I don't think he likes to have his picture taken - which I think he inherited from his mother because I don't seem to have any of her.

[4 Dog Mother]

Here are some of my group shots - people kept moving in and out of them so you will have to see who you might see in one that is not in the other -- I do see one of Johanna with Jonah on her lap in the far left of this pic



Slick is in the far right of this picture by the fence


Here is Phred with Cinder and Smoke


And here is a picture of one of the most important people at the meeting, my hubby, Carl, why is he so important well that should be obvious - because he does the cokking!


Lots of locals in and out today - I could not believe how many little dogs there were - I have NEVER seen that many little dogs there before

Here's Jasmine holding Lucy whom you met at the Labor Day Meeting last year.


Here is Lemon

Lemon's sibling ??????



Not too great of a picture but this one is of Vinny, Madison and Tucker

Sophia and Brutus - Lucy and Vinny's siblings


And more that I didn't get a picture of.

Here I hope is where my album is http://share.shutterfly.com/action/w...rlm1dM&notag=1

Thanks for posting the pictures everyone. I look forward to seeing even more. After viewing this event each year I can recognize so many of you right away. Looks like another terrific day at Findlay!

[MoonandBean]

Those are great pictures! Glad to see everyone had a great time and it was nice to put some faces to the names (humans and dogs alike ). That picture of Zack and Jonah is awesome!!
