Maybe we should change the Tripawty venue to "dog friendly" Carmel! Oooooh, mom has a new entry for our dictionary!

You guys, we had such an awesome time today. Thank you so much for your support. Geez, the way Caira was acting, you'd think I made up this week of hell!

It just goes to show how important it is to treat the spirit.That goes for us as well as Caira Sue's!

It was lovely meeting Jim and Rene and Wyatt Ray. That was the best turnout we had yet for a Northern California Tripawd party!

here's the shutterly connection:

as always, I'm sure Jack's pictures will be better….but here's a preview anyway!

Thanks again, everyone. You are all so important to me and have really made this journey something quite fun!

…Mary and Caira Sue

Seanne,

I feel badly for being so focused on Caira today that I didn't know who you were. I had to go research this "wrigley" fellow. I honestly thought you were someone's friend from somewhere. Anyway, I apologize. I would have liked to hear a tale (tail) or two about Wrigley and how you made it through. Also, I would have taken a few more pix for you. This week has been a rough one on us. Like I said, usually we are more out there and meeting the people, but today we were a bit Caira focused.

I'm glad you came and got to meet everyone else, though! I think I did get a couple pix of your dogs on Shutterfly and Mary tells me you can pull prints off there pretty easy (if any of them came out to your liking).

Take care,

Mary

Mary,

Please don't feel bad at all.  I was so focused on whether Willow was ever going to behave, I felt I didn't really get the time to chat with everyone as I had hoped. I have followed you all along and would have loved to hear more stories from you as well. I guess I'll just have to come again.

I will tell you that I got through it all with the wonderful support of all of the tripawds gang. I could not have done it without the help of the wonderful people on this site. Even today, the tripawds famiy brought me so much joy. I will confess this month has been especially difficult because it was this time last year that Wrigley was diagnosed and she had her amputation on Dec. 22. It has been a hard reminder going through this month- So today seeing all of those tripawds looking so good was  a wonderful sight.

Wrigley was our hero. Going through this battle with her was truly a life changing experience. She taught our entire family so much.

Thank you for taking such wonderful photos of the day. I showed the kids as they were excited to see Cemil- we met Cemil earlier this

year at a canine cancer walk.

Caira Sue was such a kick today. What a great dog- and a very impressive tripawd.

We look forward to seeing you all again. Like Mary, I too feel blessed to know you all.

Seanne

PS. Mary- Willow and Rookie slept the entire ride home ( about 2 hours) and are still snoozing.

 We had a ball! The Petite Princess slept allllllll the way home. What a beautiful day!

Met and made new friends and got to catch up on all the latest with old friends.

We have such a good time when we get together, looking forward to January!

Here are some of the photo's we took yesterday,
