Yo Everypawdy!

Today was the BIG DAY and it was MOST pawesome! NorCal Tripawds RULE! Oh YESH they DO! For all youse that didn't show up.....here's the low down.........

Mom counted 12 tripawds!!!! Its an all time record (we think...). Lylee, Shelby, Me 'n Austin, Ellie, Ruby, and Cemil. And THEN 5, count 'em 5 dawgs showed up cause the event made the paper a couple weeks ago! Thanks to Rene and Jim for sending out the PR! Mom din't get most of their names 'cept for Sadie and Rosie. Bernie and Linda and their pawrents, John and Diane came all the way from San Diego! And Karen brought Tani and Obie--whoa are they pugalicious! And Spirit Cherry's folks showed up too! Mom din't bring her camera but she din't need to 'cause there were photographers everywhere (stay toooned---this was the best documented tripawd event EVER!) And the PRESS showed up, whatever that is. There will be an article tomorrow in the Marin Independent Journal, whatever that is. And my most awesome pawesome Carla was there with the GOODS! Dawg a mighty! There was BACON CAKE!!!!!! And it had Jerry on it!!!! And pupperoni pizzas and 'lil mints for our sore tummies after eatin' all a that!  And cute 'lil doggie bags for everyone to take home. Look what was in 'em!

Sooooooo goooood. We are all in a foodie coma 'round here right 'bout now.  I know everypawdy will be postin' some pix from the day soon! You'll get to see the cake and all the beautiful pups and peeps! My mom sez to say it was SO grrrrrreat seein' so many tripawds in one place and all their fabulous pawrents--such good peeples!

This is one of those rare moments I wished I lived in Cali!  So glad you all had a wonderful time!!!

It was great to see everyone again, and a good time was had by all. Even my two quad-pod monsters were worn out by the end of the day. I wish we lived closer and could attend these more often.

I think an extra mention of Carla and Paw Patch Pastries (www.pawpatchpastries.com) is warranted here. Carla didn't just roll out a few bags of samples or something easy like that. She had a pop-up tent for shade, an entire table full of specially made gift buckets for everyone, a huge spread of individual dog snacks, and of course, a cake that caused ravenous insanity in every dog within smelling distance. Bernie bin Laden almost took my fingers off biting into that cake! My favorite sight was Cemil, an Anatolian Shepherd tripawd who's so tall he was able to graze snacks directly off the table - and he did, quite contentedly. Carla really stepped up on this one, and even though we don't live in the area, we intend to support her business via mail order. I encourage everyone to do the same. Thanks Carla!
