Bri.... I would not take the ferry across Lake Michigan in November.  The water can get really rough out there.  Are you driving here and back in one day?

Do we have an idea how many are showing up yet?

Yeah, they know better and don't run the ferries after October anyhow.  And at least one of the ferries was way too expensive for us and it didn't sound like Gerry would be ok with their rules for pet travel (kennel, or stay in the car alone).

We might have snow coming in earlier than expected doh!  It'd be our first snowfall, so on the one hand it'll probably be hardly anything and mostly rain, but on the other hand, if it is at all significant, folks always drive stuipidest during the first snowfall.  That may get in our way, but it's not over yet.  We'll see what the weather forecast is like closer to Saturday before making a final decision. 

Wow, somehow I missed Amandaboo's post about the address all this time!  Yay!!!  I'll check out just how long it will take to drive there and back.  Thanks!

And FYI, I did hear from Holly's pack tht unfortunately they can't make it.

Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.

He was a shelter dog with a mysterious past and an irrepairable knee injury.

It was so much fun spending the afternoon with you all yesterday!  (I trust everyone made it home safe and sound). 

Boo is exhausted today! Zzzzzz!   ...and the weather outside is awful!   Winner, winner, chicken dinner! 

Boo became a Tripawd Warrior Princess on Sept 8, 2009. She crossed over the Rainbow Bridge 2.7 years later on April 29, 2012. Run free Angel Boo!

Both Nova and Emmy have been OUT COLD and have only gotten up to eat and pee.  I was amazed at how much energy the Queen had yesterday.  I have so much homework to do today I haven't had a chance to mess with my photos yet, but I will post them ASAP.

A big thanks to Bri, Gerry's mom, who drove 5-6 hours EACH WAY, all the way from Madison, WI, just to attend our pawty.  We hope it was worth the trip!

I have a great video of Boo singing, it will be one of the first things I post!

What a pawsome video!  We're so sorry we missed the pawty.  Everyone looks like they're having a great time!  And I love Queen Nova's jewels - what a perfect accessory!  Holly says to tell Gerry she would have helped him bark at the squirrel!

Hugs,
Holly, Zuzu and Susan smiley 

Holly joined the world of tripawds on 12/29/2009. She has a big little sister, Zuzu, who idolizes Holly and tries to make all of her toys into tripawds in Holly's honor. And she's enjoying life one hop at a time!

Looks like a good time was had by all. Did someone say Squirrel!? big-grin

PS: If you embed movies here in the forums using the Video Quicktag like you did, please do NOT attempt to edit your post, or it will break the forum page... just a minor little issue that will hopefully be addressed in the next upgrade.
