Wish we were there today! We will be there tomorrow. I had planned on driving up tonight but this MONTH has just run me into the ground. Rich decided to go with me so we're making a day trip with 2 drivers and 2 greyhounds! See you all tomorrow!!!
Enjoy yourselves everyone! I hope a tripawd kitty can make it to give y'all (isn't that what they say in the south?) a cuddle.
May you have Sally's vultures circling overhead...

Nor can I express how I'm experiencing the best kind of tired there is! My face hurts because Ive smiled so much- My arms are sore from hugging so much! My tummy hurts from laughing so much 🙂 And my brain is fried from trying to teach the Admin Guy how to use a tavlet! 🙂
You were each there in our hearts and definitely came up in our conversations! 🙂
And yes sweet Bonnie, we had our little corner set up celebrating the lives of all our beautiful pups. Pictures and video later

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Hahaha! The secret is out. Yes, we made it and are SO glad we decided to make the drive! There was no greater reward than to see the look on Sally's face when we showed up last night at her lovely homestead. It was simply unforgettable!
We are exhausted ourselves, and if you can believe it, Wyatt Ray is crashed out on the floor. Little does he know we have the pleasure of doing it all again tomorrow! We promise to post photos soon. You guys won't believe the fun we are having. We wish you all could be here at the most epic Tripawds party EVER!

Enjoy your day.
Hugs for all,

Still working on getting home. I was granted the privilege of spending the night in a hotel near the Atlanta airport last night due to that huge storm in Atlanta. At the gate now and the flight is so far on time. Paula, did you pass your airline curse to me?
I will post pictures soon. Using the phone to do so seems complicated.
Best. Weekend. Ever.
Right rear leg amp 7/12/16 due to OSA. Metastatic lesion on her right front leg, January 2017. Joined the Winter Warriors January 19, 2017. Run free my sweet girl.
OOOOOOMMM. DDDCD. TERI!!!! I wasn't able to get you on cell phone to make sure you made it okay!! The service was/IS real bad at my house so maybe I couldn't get thru because of that!
ANYWAY.......EMAIL WHEN YOU GET HOME!!! Guess Isa decided you needed to see more of the South 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Elizabeth and I miss you!! MISS EVERYBODY!!
Did the airline pah for the room????

OH no Teri! Was so hoping they could find you a way home yesterday! And no Paula and I would never pass that airline "curse" on to you lol. Safe travels today! It surely was an epic event on so many levels and having Jim and Rene there truly was the frosting on the cake! And Sally and Elizabeth are truly the hostess' with the mostest! Memories for a lifetime with all of the greatest people ever!
Still trying to connect with Teri by cell phone. So maybe she's sound asleep at home and has her phone cut off.....or else she's still up in the air!!''Ugh!!
And Jim and Rene, you have safe travels and do not do anything but get back to Colorado safely! You have all the time in the world to post pictures!
For you three to surprise us ALL is like an eternity of unwrapping gifts Christmas mornings over and over and over in our hearts forever!
As Linda said, MEMORIES OF A LIFETIME WITH ALL THE GREATEST SOULS EVVVVVER!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 And whether you were "physically" with us or not, EVERYONE on this site was in our hearts and very present in our thoughts and conversations! 🙂 🙂
With love to all
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!

Do hope you are now back home safely, Teri. And ditto the sentiments above. Whether you were physically there or not, this was a celebration of and tribute to the whole community and everyone was there in our hearts and thoughts.
Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen and to make it such a wonderful and memorable and uplifting experience. I really am lost for words to express it. (which is a bit of a problem as I now have a piece to write....)
Last night in DC 
About to join Tina for drinks in the bar 
We'll be raising a glass to you all, for sure.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome 
Ruby, Staffy, born June 2022, became a Tripawd, November 2023, adopted January 2024.
Also Angel Tripawd Meg (aka The Megastar), who died in April 2023, aged 14, after seven glorious years on three, and Angel Staffies Elsie Pie and Bille. In the pawprints of giants...
I'm rather sad I can't join the two of you for those drinks. LOVED meeting you both!!!!!!
Momma to the world's most beautiful American Bulldog, Izzy!! Lost her front leg to OSA 9/18/15. Diagnosed w MCT in June 2016. Celebrated her 1 year ampuversary with knee surgery on 9/18/16! MCT recurrence in Dec 2016. Happy & hungry til nearly 14, earning her wings on 7/31/17.
The Brit is waiting with the G&Ts so just a quick word.: I will be crying so hard (again) tomorrow because I am leaving people behind that not only welcomed me like no others but have become close friends and understand like no others ever will. My friends: it was an honor, a great pleasure, an emotional rollercoaster and the best time ever. Hats off to each and every single one of you, you are amazing.
I will post Fotos when I get back to my laptop.
Love you
tina
Guardian of Manni the Wonderdog. -Or was it the other way around?
Osteo and amputation in Dec 2015. Second, inoperable, primary osteosarcoma found in June 2017.
The end of our adventures came Dec 10, 2017. 2 years to the day.
As I emailed Elizabeth and told Linda, I am sooo full of love and light now!!!:-) I'm just overflowing with joy and happiness! I have had a continuous smile in my face and in my heart! Absolutely floating on the memories of our magic carpet ride! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Yet, I also feel empty and lonely!! Not "alone lonely", not at all! More like a "longing" for ALL humanity to embrace the kindness and grace that each of you embody in your own special way.. An "emptiness" in the sense that, while filled with treasured memories that will stay with me forever, there's always room for more bliss!!
We were all guided to be together and we are all better for it. It didn't matter if our moments together were brief, or a bit longer, they helped to make up a lifetime of joy and connection for each of us. Just as we have with everyone in the site.
Gonna go eat some ice cream now and share with Frankie and Merry Myrtle 🙂
With love always
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
