*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 24, 2009 ~

[neko1]

doesn't seem like many people are going this year?

I think the fact that I said I was going scared everyone away!!

doesn't seem like many people are going this year?

It's too early to *worry* ...

SumDawgs prolly haven't read their invitation, yet ...
We're bound to draw a crowd before it's over.

And - we get *spoiled* with some of the really LOOONG-distance attendees ---
California Mom, Kanuker Slick, the Florida Gang, East Coasters, the New Missican ...
those trips are hard to pull off every year!

But if you haven't seen the Invite - read Post #1 ---
YOU are invited NOW!

My friend Michele and her husband Brian might be there with Cisco and Freyja. They are moving to Ohio this weekend. I told them they have to come in honor of the huskies and I not sure if they'll make it or not. I'm definitely going to come out to Ohio sometime to visit them so hopefully I'll make it to one of the gatherings in the next year or two. Have fun everyone!

We are planning on showing up after church sometime on Sunday. I don't think we will be doing an all day marathon though. Last years Labor Day marathon confirmed that my "old lady" dog just can't handle all day anymore. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Not sure she'd still love him with this crappy haircut he has

Only one more week everyone!

[joycenalex]

princess peanut is wearing a cone today and is soooo pitiful. she has a dog wart (proven not to be a mast cell tumor by aspiration) that in a fit of anxiety last weekend, she has nibbled into almost a hot spot. it started healing, and it was looking better until late yesterday. sometime while i was sleeping she started picking it again, it looks awful this morning. so the area, under her protest, was washed, medicated and now she is a conehead, her body language , tailtucked, sad face is both funny, guilt producing and sad. i really don't want her at the dog park on sunday with a oozy sore, so i'm appealing to all of you experts...any other treatment ideas? before i leave for work at 6:45 am, every day this week, she will get a brisk walk, classical music, softly playing on the kitchen radio, 2 vet okayed benadryls, a large peanut butter smeared kong in her bed, and an extra one in the kitchen to find later, (a tired and full dog is a sleepy dog) with the blinds closed so the outside world isn't seen. she has a topical triple antibiotic ointment on the area and a tshirt on her while i'm gone. i take both off when i get home, so it can 'airout' and i can keep a close eye on her. thanks, joyce

Get Simba a *spiffy* HAT to wear, and Sasha will never notice he's having
a bad hair day!
