*BIG Birfday BASH* ~ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ SUNDAY, October 19, 2003 ~ Gotta Come!

[Cataholic]

I am home, Binx has been fed, and is sleeping, the cats are ready for some serious US time, and I am beat. I had such a good time, again! I can't wait to see the pics, and tomorrow it will have to be.

When is the NEXT one?

[mugsy]

We had 10 of the dogs with us in the van and you could have heard a pin drop on the way home. They CRASHED hard! I guess Rinney is bleeding, Mike is checking him. That little snot Minnie must bite hard!!

Sleep well all of you!!

Molly .......... Did you take all 10 dogs ...!!!!!!!

WOW! What a glorious sight!

[4 Dog Mother]

Another beautiful day at the dog park - but what a day!!! My day did not start too well because Jack woke up with diahrea. So he and the girls, Dazzi and Oreo spent the day at home - the girls just can't handle a dog park FULL of dogs.

We had a big surprise to the "party" when Mike and Mugsy showed up with all 11 dogs!!! That must have been quite a ride over from Fort Wayne. I don't envy them that. Sometimes I think taking 5 dogs across town makes me nuts.

Then there was the break out. Billie and Jesse found a place in the fence they could squeak under and off they went. A few brave ones. (Andy, Amy and Kim) jumped the fence to take chase and a few others used the gate to follow. Jesse was soon captured and placed back in the fence but Billie moved a little faster and farther. Mike just happened to be returning from a trip to the store when he saw a bunch of crazy looking people running around screaming Billie, Billie run in front of his car so he stopped and jumped out and joined the search. Not long later, Billie was returned to the fence. A bungie cord was used to tighten the gate, but Billie did his best to escape again and some tree branches were wedged under the area he was using for the get-aways.

Anna brought the pups their own cupcakes with dog treats on top. I heard Mike had one too but that was a rumor I am sure. We celebrated Molly and Staci's birthday and Robin's end of chemo treatments.

I left about 5:00 but I heard that Phred did not leave until 6:30 so I imagine it will be awhile before we hear from him.

As for myself, Snoopy and Taggert, we had a great time visiting with lots of people and dogs and eating lots of great food and treats and are ready for the next gathering.

Awww... Jacky boy had to stay home??? Bummer... no pics of him? *Jack deprived* I need pics!

[mugsy]

Yes, it is true....we took all 11 dogs and it was decided that it will NEVER happen again! The trip home was fine, but the trip there was the trip from hell!

Yes, Billy is quite the escape artist and if there had been a rabbit, there would have been trouble.

Then of course there was Minnie thinking she was bigger than she was and ended up "biting" off more than she could chew although she nailed Rinney in the neck and possibly in the ear since he is bleeding pretty badly from the ear, although it is superficial.

When we left (which was after you did Diane) Phred was still there and we left at 5:45 your time, so, I agree, it will probably be awhile until we hear from him.

Glad you are all safe and sound, and worn out from such a fun day! Looks like the weather was kind, the food was good and the photos are pretty great so far

[anna_66]

Well, needless to say the weather, the food and the people were wonderful
Like everyone said, we had a few incidents (Donna & I were leaving when the "fight" between Minnie & Rinney happened-hope he's alright)
Your welcome for the gifts and the cards!
The girls are absolutely wore out!!! This is what their doing right now..


Fast asleep & dreaming of their fun day at the park with all their friends
I finally got all my pics uploaded Here they are!
But I'll post a few here also in case you don't want to look at the 69 pictures in my album

Sorry??? - who could not possibly want to look at the 69 pics in your album .........?????
Thanks Anna - been hanging out for pics!!!!

[anna_66]

Forgive me, but I just can't remember all the names

Look at this cutie pie!

Angie & Buddy

Donna & Minnie

What an adorable chocolate lab!

And another cutie!


Hope you liked them all, and thanks for hanging around

Oh yeah, and the rumors are true Diane, Mike did eat one of the pupcakes!!!!

[moosmom]

I had a great time!!!! Took lots of pictures! Here's the link to the album.

I also put in some pictures of Baby Sara and Sydney.

Mike, all I can say is I felt like I was pooping fire when I got home (Yeah Molly, I know, TMI!!) LOL

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!! Mr. Carl the Cone met the cone of his dreams, Camille. She came to the bash complete with wedding dress and veil (Vera Wang perhaps???). They are now a couple.

I sure hope Ms. Camille is not TOO depressed over not being able to spend her wedding night with her new hubby, Carl the Cone. But, as you will see they sure made up for lost time.

Here's the album.

Robilee,

You look wonderful!! It was so great talking to you and getting that huge hug we both needed so badly. Hope to see you again real soon.

Staci,

Have a great birthday!! Sorry you have to work tonight.

Molly,

Your hubby has one sick sense of humor. Maybe that's why we get along so well. Great minds thing alike, right Mike????

So, like Johanna said..."When's the next one???"

[anna_66]

Donna, can't see your pics

[mugsy]

OMG!!! Donna, those pictures of the cones are HYSTERICAL!!! Anna, I hope you get to see them because they are GREAT!
