Cinder & Smokey: Company comes to da Ranch (6/01/07)

[K9soul]

She's beautiful! Such a smiley face and a beautiful sleek coat! Sounds like things are mostly going pretty smooth . Show the younger kids how it's done Cinder!

[lbaker]

Did the 'mater juz work? I remember you saying that a better fix was some sort of "feminine hygiene" product that you had to send SmokeMutt in to the store to get (with the $$ in a pocket around his neck)

[Ginger's Mom]

Well Smokey we are going to have to depend on you to keep us updated because Ms. Cinder is going to have her paws full for awhile (it's tough always being the good one, isn't it Cinder ). But, boy, the "tails" Dakota is going to have to share with her family after a week at the ranch.

[dukedogsmom]

She's so cute! I think she'll like it there. I thought she had some Grayhound in her. Maybe she does. Whatever's in her, she's adorable. I hope she enjoys her stay at the ranch and Cinder and Smoke enjoy her, too.

I love her little bandana!

WHat's a Florida bandana? I keep looking in local stores for nice bandanas for my dogs, but so far have only found one that I liked (a Red Sox one, of course!)

Any sites anyone can recommend?

Also - Dakota is a cutie! How nice of you to watch her!

She gave an <air-SNAP> towards Smokemutt
Nudder **BAP--BAP** onna headbone wiffa "BAD DOG!!"

By the third day, she'd given up *raidin* food bowls an would just <bounce> up & down
inna puter room waitin fur her grub to jump into her bowl.

Toss her offa BigBed about 6 tymes a nite, an she settled on her bed OK!

Car Ridin?

We all went *swimmin* again onna way home frum PawzFest on Sunday.
She STILL din't like Dock Divin ... anna Boater Folks was like a MOB .
