That was my fine plastic pie knife....I remembered it about halfway home...I was SO relieved to get 'rid' of that pie....it was yummy, though, wasn't it?

So Jo, where praytell are all of YOUR pictures?? lol

[4 Dog Mother]

I didn't get many pictures but here are a few of what I did get.

First off, I arrived first - what was up with that? Phred usually gets there before me. But as 4 Dog Mother (me) arrived with 4 of her 5 dogs, she realized that there were already 4 dogs in the park - 4 greyhounds. Here are pictures of them:
Fred:
Madison:

and Blaze and Nitro:

They left as more Pet Talkers arrived. Here are a few of our group:
Billie:

[4 Dog Mother]

Taggert, Ringo and Baylee:

Dazzi:


Then as more people arrived, Dazzi, self-acclaimed "boss" of the park began to need closer supervision and I'm afraid my camera got set aside. But what I did get taken are Here

[Cataholic]

My pictures are stuck on imagestation...it just took too long to upload..I am still working on it.
