Can't wait!

Yay! Codie Rae! We will be there this weekend and next weekend-wahoo! We should print some flyers and spread them around here-it would be great to have a huge turnout.

I will be happy to take pix of the 3 legged herd!

And Codie Rae, the only thing that matters about plants is who peed on them last. Everyone knows that. You should let your mom know cuz that will save her a lot of money on her trip!

Mary and Caira Sue

Hey Codie Rae and Smokey and Caira Sue!  Just a quick "Great to meet you!!" because I'm double-whupped.  What a long walk getting in and out of there.  But it sure was fun.  And Mary and Caira Sue, thanks for staying with me while Mom went to get the truck.  That was awfully nice of you.  I'm already looking forward to next week.  Mom's going to bring along my buddy Radzi instead of Mujde so everybody gets a turn.  Radzi's grandfather was a tripawd too.

Now I'm going to crawl up on my sleeping bag and have a nice….loooong…. nap.  Mom will have to deal with the mud later.  See you all next week!

Cemil

It WAS good fun. It was so nice to see other people who care as much about their dogs as we do. And it's great to meet other tripawds!

I think Caira Sue was quite taken with Codie Rae. Caira Sue is great at taking a few minutes to "snarl and fuss" to make sure everyone knows who the boss is. She always let's the other dog be boss, but somehow they have to take those first few minutes to feel each other out. Then she was like "Yay!!!!! Codie Rae is boss! Let's jump in mud puddles and chase balls!" Ha, then here comes Cemil-loping over to PLOP down in the mud puddle.

I loved seeing Codie Rae and Caira Sue take off to go swimming together. Codie Rae's dad wanted to burst my bubble and tell me that Codie Rae was just herding Caira Sue. Boo. I'm sure it was because they were fast friends and wanted to swim the ocean together! Geez. Realist.

Anyway, I look forward to this weekend, and Caira Sue is going to bring her dad too! Wahoo!

Too bad we don't have any of those cool trading cards that Cemil brought-talk about awesome!

So I finally got all the mud brushed out of Cemil's coat.

That little outing was really good for him.  He's pretty laid-back and gets tired when out walking so I haven't taken him out much.  But since Saturday, he's been quite a bit livelier.  I think this is his spirit-healing thing, like Cherry's Bob says.  I thought it was watching out for all of us, which is his chosen job, but this definitely made a difference in his morale.

We talked about making it a regular thing for anyone who cares to show up.  I vote for that.

See all you Northern California Tripawds next Saturday!!

Shelby just reminded me that we are bringing a big insulated 5 gallon water jug on Saturday. We'll bring along a good size water bowl too.

 Can't wait!!!

What a fun day!  Lots of people showed up and the dogs got to play with each other and some of the other dogs in the park.  People got educated about tripawds and dog cancer and goodwill was spread around that small part of Mill Valley.  Tripawd people are as awesome as their dogs.

Everybody else had cameras so pictures will be coming.

We'll be planning another Tripawd Hop in a month or so, same place.  Does third Saturday work?  That would be Oct 17th.
