[Miss Kitty]

That looks like a good time. :wave:

[totaljen]

:clap:That sounds really great! If we're moved by then, I'll definitely stop by (since I don't know those details yet, I can't volunteer to help, but normally, this is right up my alley!) I used to work at a dog-training/day-care/vet facility in Birmingham. Since I don't currently have pets, I've missed being around all those wagging tails!:wub:

Roadtrip? That would be airtrip!

[kathydwells]

It doesn't end until 7:01, surely you can make yappy hour!

FFF says he will come pick ya'll up in the plane! Roadtrip!:wave:and on the flight back,he can land in the pasture by my house and pick me and sweetpea up!

[DuneLaker]

My son and his family are heading back to Texas that day. I'll try to come if their departure time gives me an opportunity to recover from the July 4th week. Great idea.

Grayt idea! Be ready! He does not slow down for long! :blink:

Please do! You can recover on Sunday, the animals need your support. :D

I would like to help get the word out. We'll add the event to the home page and do some other promotion.

Instead of the "jumpy thing" you should rent an inflatable waterslide. Alys Beach rented one recently from a Panama City Beach company fro $250 for the day and it included a couple of teens to keep an eye on the kids.

Thanks Kurt! We really do appreciate it. I can't imagine the costs of taking care of over 200 animals.

We are trying to get the waterslide. Who's up for a waterslide! :wave:

Oops.

BB - you're gonna need the slide for the 4-legged animals too so they can beat the heat.

[InletBchDweller]

[InletBchDweller]

If I am in town (60% chance) then I will have to attend!

[hnooe]

When does "yappy" hour begin... 6PM? Mamie pictured on the left (front) would like to show her frisbee catching abilities, but she hates the heat!

[kitlit]

It looks to me like that adds up to 120%... so we'll see you there! :biggrin:

Bring Mamie later in the day, there is also a dog washing station. :wub:

Thanks Kurt! We can use all the help we can get.

Now....who all is coming out and bringing their wagging tails?

[kitlit]

Anybody know where I could find some grey doggie suits??? My Rufus (the little guy in my 'tar) and my dad's greyhound (an all-over fawn) could be twins except for the size...

I would so love to have them dress for the best dressed as Dr. Evil and Mini-Me... :biggrin:...

Grrr... If only I had more time to plan! Maybe next year...

Just bring them to walk and wag! Naked dogs are welcome

I am so looking forward to some of the contests, my favorites are:

1) Most "attractively challenged

2) Stupid pet tricks

3) Best talker

4) Best costume

[Minnie]

Sounds like a wonderful event, I hope everyone that is in the area attends. I so wish Sadie and I were going to be there, but we will be there with you in spirit and wish you the best.

[kathydwells]

BB, I won't be there, but I would like to make a contribution. Come find me and I will give you some $$ for the cause.

p.s. Just curious, why 3:01 to 7:01, why not just 3:00 to 7:00? Curious minds want to know. :wave:

Awww, I thank you KDW & so do all the animals at Alaqua! You know I will find you. :wub:

SEE! It worked. If we used 3:00 to 7:00 you would not have been able to remember the time. You would have kept going "Now what time does that thing start?" :scratch:

[Amy@Avalon]

My mom, Dr. Ruth will be there to sell chances to win a portrait session and 16x20 print from Avalon Photography. Stop by and wish her a happy (75th) birthday! She considers this event her party.

If A Dog Were Your Teacher
Author Unknown

If a dog were your teacher
These are some of the lessons you might learn...

When loved ones come home, always run to greet them
Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride
Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face
to be pure ecstasy

When it's in your best interest
practice obedience
Let others know when they've invaded your territory
Take naps and stretch before rising
Run romp and play daily

Thrive on attention and let people touch you
Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do
On warm days stop to lie on your back on the grass
On hot days drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree
When you're happy dance around and wag your entire body

No matter how often you're scolded
don't buy into the guilt thing and pout
run right back and make friends

Delight in the simple joy of a long walk
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm
Stop when you have had enough
Be loyal
Never pretend to be something you're not

If what you want lies buried
dig until you find it
When someone is having a bad day
be silent .....
...sit close by.

...and nuzzle them gently.

[Beachbummett]

BB, we need to talk. You cannot have Shooter. :nono1:
:wub::wave::lol:

What?! Why can't I have her? :idontno: She likes me best anyway! :biggrin:

Please, please, please come out and join us.

Best of all....you can kiss a pig! :blink: :biggrin:
