OBVIOUSLY --- WE MADE IT BACK...
I WORRIED ALL THE WAY-- I AM NOT AN IDEAL PASSENGER IN A CAR
MEGAN HILLARY AND GWEN MANAGED THE PUPS + WALTER AND FIONA IN THE VAN #1-
AND DESERVE GREAT PRAISE...
JADE.BUD2 AND GREG +SAMMY BAILEY AND INDY ( AND MYSELF) WERE IN THE SECOND
VAN ( RENTED ENTERPRISE YET TO GE RETURNED IMMEDIATELY..)
=
THE USE OF CELLL PHONES GAVE US A CONSTANT VOMIT REPORT -- AND THERE WAS
NONE...-- THO THE VARIOUS ODORS OF ALL THOSE DOGS IN A CONFINED PLACE WAS
INTERESTING TO SAY TH E LEAST.
WE WERE ABOUT 2 HOURS AHEAD OF OURSELVES BUT SET UP ION A CORNER WHERE ALL
THE GUESTS HAD TO PASS BY AND ALL WERE MOST INTERESTED IN TALKING ABOUT THE
DANES...
MANY-- LIKE NEARLY ALL? VETERANS THERE WITH LABS COMMENTED THAT THEY SAW
THE VIRTUE OF THE BIGGER DOGS.. THE LABS WERE NOT ALOT BIGGER THAN THE 3 MONTH
OLD DANES- AND OF COURSE 10 MONTH OLD WALTER KNOCKED THE SOX OFF
EVERYONE...
ONCE--WALTER DID JUMP ( VERY QUICKLY STEP OVER) OUR 15" BARRIER AND RAN
INTO T HE COCKTAIL CROWD TO EVERYONE'S DELIGHT AS HILARY FLEW OFTER HIM AND GOT
HIM BY THE TAIL.. BAILEY JOINED HIM TO KEEP TRACK BUT QUIT AND TURNED WHEN I
SPOKE TO HER.
OTHERWISE THE PUPS UNDERSTOOD THE FENCE AND STAYED AND PLAYED INSIDE.. WE
WERE RIGHT NESXT TO A DOOR OUT TO A PATIO AND GRASS-- SO IT WENT SMOOTHLY. NO
DISASTERS TO REPORT
SAMMY AND JADE-- AND BUD2 AND INDY REPRESENTED US WELL--- INDY OLDER AND
MORE POLISHED-- SAMMY OFFERED TO PLAY WITH ANOTHER SERVICE DOG THERE-- THE OTHER
DOG WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN SAMMY'S HEAD... BUT SAMMY DID NOT OFFER TO
CHEW ON HIM.. THAT WAS A RELIEF...
AND WE WERE HOME SHORTLY AFTER 11.
LONG DAY
AND LONG DAY FOR BAILEY WHO WAS SO TIRED AT THE END THAT SHE LEFT ME
AND FOLLOWED GWEN WHO WAS LOADING THE VANS
WHEN I WENT OUT I WAS VERY GLAD TO FIND HER SOUND ASLEEP IN TH ECORRECT
VAN--- SHE WAS SO TIRED SHE WOULD HAVE CRAWLED IN ANY OPEN CAR DOOR.
THEY HAD A VERY LARGE SILENT AUCTION -- MOSTLY OF DONATED WEEKENDS ...
TICKETS TO EVENTS ETC...
PAUL EARLENE AND BUD1 MANAGED HERE VRY WELL AND BUD1 GOT THE WIDOW MAKER
TREE DOWN ON THE GROUND. A YEARS WORTH OF FIRE WOOD
GOT TO RUN AND RETURN THE VANS.... MINUS WHITE HAIR.... HOPEFULLY
