I'm jealous of all the fun tripawd events on the West Coast!
Also I'm kind of cringing at the use of the word "vintage" to describe dogs. I'm sure it's supposed to mean "senior", but instead I'm picturing taxidermy.

This is going to be such a great time! And really good awareness for Tripawds, this event gets a LOT of publicity!
Thank you Jack and Cindi for taking the lead on this. 
Just picked up the 2 stooges, Dusty and Rosy, from the dog laundry. They are buffed and fluffed and they put some kind of dog good smelly stuff on them.
Got gas in the truck, all the gifties from TRIPAWDS are set to go. Cindi has had me in a remedial manners course, so I don't embarrass her or the dogs.
Looks like we're ready for Sunday.

Dog laundry lol!
Wheeeeee!!!! I can't believe it's almost here!!! Wish you guys could live stream it or something. Take lots of pics and video!
We had a great time at the 3-Legged Dog Picnic!!! We got to see Cindi & Jerry with Dusty & Rosy! Diesel was a little overwhelmed with all the dogs just like him and then he ended up settling in nicely on someone's blanket in the middle of all the littles! He felt right at home.
Here are a couple of local articles as well.

Cheers from Diesel & Eldene
