Looks like a BIG "bash" this time - and I can tell everyone had fun! What a surprize that Slick and Gini turned up too!!

I loved seeíng the pictures everyone posted.

Well, here I am in Dayton, OH.

I just saw the shuttle pull away and on the way to the airport....carrying Gini. If all goes well, she should be home by dinnertime.

My shuttle to the airport leaves in about an hour. I'm sad and I'm happy. It's been a wonderful trip....one that I'll never regret.

Thank you everyone for making me feel welcome and it was so nice to meet all of you. I did get some pictures but I'm sure they aren't as nice as the ones already posted.

I won't get home until late so will post more tomorrow.

Boy, what a fantastic Picnic

We arrived home at 8PM last night, all of us totally tuckered out. No one had trouble sleeping!

The cats were glad to see us--seems the sitter forgot to give them water!!!

I really appreciate the efforts of the people who arranged the picnic. A special "Thank you" goes to Phred and Staci. We all are grateful to Paul and Karen who started this site.

It was great to meet so many more Pet Talkers. I hope I can remember who's who

Gini and Slick were a wonderful surprise. I hope their trips home are uneventful. Maybe they will come back again next year.

I didn't take any pictures, but I certainly am enjoying all of yours.

Unfortunately I actually have to do some work today, but I'll surely find time to look at all the pictures I can.

It was a truly unforgetable week end.

Incredibly wonderful time. Best cuppala days in ages! Wally & I (he's a buddy, not a hubby or sig other) made it back to Maryland HOURS after leaving the Park about 2 pm on Monday, it took about 9 hours but encounted some bad storms along the way. Looooong day but wouldn't have missed a second of it. My 4 dawgs were fasinated by the way we smelled walking in the door... bratwurst, burgers, a special mixed stew type thing Mary concocted (wow Mary... please send the recipe) and smells of DAWGS, DAWGS, DAWG DROOL (mostly thanks to Bon ) and assorted others. Punk, Rascal, Mary, Lucy and Poon want to give special thanks to Auntie Slick for the care package of home made treats. Milky bones will never be the same Thanks to all and especially to our Dawg Godfather Phred for all his efforts
