*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 29, 2005 ~

Gilboa?!? What is there?

Come on, how could you miss that huge cow???????

Glad you made it home, Phred. We waited all day to hear from you Phred but when we didn't we thought maybe you made an early start for home.

Carl worked more on the pond - he had me hauling and washing stones. Then he needed to do the rest himself so I wore myself out weeding my overgrown flowerbeds. Didn't call cause you thought we'd pull into our work, huh, Phred????

Glad to hear that you made it home safe and sound Karen, Paul & Phred. We had a wonderful time with you
I'll be looking forward to seeing your pictures when you have the time.
Just waiting for one more to report in...Kimmy...you there yet

Amy your pictures were wonderful! And your not kidding, that girl of yours sure can fly And that picture of Sadie is so adorable, they all look sacked out! Belly rubs to all of them from me

Michelle, the only dogmobile pictures is the ones with my boys sleeping And yep, I was hoping that would be one trait he wouldn't take from Angus. What are the odds of that happening

[cyber-sibes]

Nice pictures everyone! OHHH, Amy that picture of Sadie curled up wif her stuffy baby is SO CUTE!!! Phred, sorry we missed you on Monday - we went to the park around 5, played in the rain with the two Goldens that come daily. I'm hoping they make it to the next PT event-- Everyone would love these guys, Leon and Max. I'll see if I can get a picture this week.....

I was told it was a BUFFALO
and no, we dint *miss* it!

"Turn at the Buffalo"; and it's "just down the road."
He forgot to mention the NEXT right turn and the drive
OUT of Town part!
Then I missed the Quary sign and drove 20 miles to the next town!

"... thought we'd pull you into our work...?"
Never crossed my mynd!

We're supposed to be "doin pictures" ...

Hi, I've really enjoyed all the pictures of the Dog Park meeting
and want to apologize for not making the trip this time. It's all
totally my fault for not planning this better. The day came & I was
not prepared at all. I am glad there is more than one a year.

Maybe I'll find the carefully marked out map than I took with me the last year.

Wow, wonderful pictures everyone! It looks like you all had a great time. I kept wishing that I could have been there with you instead of working all weekend...plus it rained the whole time, no fun here!

[Dixieland Dancer]

Great time was had by all... especially the furkids! One of these times I'm gonna have to make the trip like Phred did by staying in the Super 8 afterwards. I know the long trip home would be harder for me than the dogs!
