Our 1st puppy reunion was a blast!! The weather looked a bit shaky but God gave us an extra blessing of dry skies for our gathering. As I looked back upon the day I realized I wish I had tried to get a picture of all the dogs together. I hardly have any pictures of Boston with her babies and I also would have liked a picture of each of the families with their puppies now. All things to keep in mind for next year! We had held a 50th wedding anniversary party for my parents Saturday evening so I probably won't have a dance floor for the dogs for their next reunion. It proved to be a bit tricky as they would drink, play and lay in the water table then try to run after each other across the slippery dance floor. The tables made for an interesting obstacle course for them to negotiate running through. Dublin stood guard over the food table all day, "Great job Dubbie!" Thanks to all of the wonderful goodies families brought to share we had plenty to eat! The dogs had a great time chasing each other, and spit was flying everywhere. I had to go into my boxes I use when we have puppies to be able to distribute slobber towels for anyone who needed one. I am so grateful for all who came. Eight of Bostons puppies and their families were able to join us. Otis's family traveled over 5 hours 1 way, through 2 severe rain storms to share the afternoon with us. I realize holding the reunion in the summer conflicted with many of you going on vacation and hope that next year it will work out that more of you will be able to join us! |
The "stars" of the day are pictured below, enjoy!!!! |
Shortly after the last family left, London passed out, "great party" zzzzz...... |
