Fingers and paws crossed, Lexie and I are planning to make the trip down...hoping to get there by 11:30ish. We will bring a cooler and some snacks. Anyone know if the creek there has water in it?
Pretty sure I heard there was a creek... If not, I'm thinking about buying a wading pool if there is a hose or something to fill it with. Lexie doesn't do so well in the heat, but if she can get in some water she'll be a happy girl.
Can't wait to see y'all!

Great idea, I'll bring a second doggie pool. I am unsure about a creek, but that would be awesome if there is one.
On my way home from the gym this morning, I saw a lady walking a tripawd (I had seen her once before when running last year but hadn't seen her since). So, I stopped my car and invited her to the tripawd party. She probably thought who is this crazy lady 
hahaha...yep, I have become THAT person.

Good for yo Elozabeth! Crazy is a plus around here!
Deb, don't know if it has a creekor not.....will call toorrow.....will also ask about hose hook-up
Great idea about the "baby pool". Of course, the dogs will jave to push the humans ot of the way so they can get in too!!!

YEP! WE, have water!
The weather is still looking great for Sunday. It looks like the highest it will be is low 80's and possibility of afternoon showers, which I think we should avoid just perfectly!

Just thinking today, about the party tomorrow.....hoping everyone has a great time, and really wish I could be there.....Myself and Angel Polly will definitely be there in spirit.....love to all, and safe travels.
Beloved herBonnie, you can bet we will have the spirit of sweet Polly and all our beloved Angel Heros in our hearts Sunday. Their lives will be celebrated with joy, love and so much gratitude for the fact that they be blessed us with their presence here on earth. Oh yeah, we'll feel their energy alrright!! 
Temperature prediction is even getting better....In the 70's!
Thanks Jerry and everyone for all you are doing to get the word out. The local TV stations are generally pretty good about following anything dog and cat related, especially if it's a slow news day! We will do you proud!!

OK folks, just got off the phone with local TV reporter, Ava-joiye from Channel 8. She is very interested in being there tomorrow and will do her best to make it, probably somewhere between 10 and noon.
She would like anyone with a Tripawd Angel to bring some photos along to share as part of the story. Make the photos big for good TV visuals!
Wooohooo! Paws are crossed she can make it, this will be great

Hey folks, can anyone attending private message me their cell # for the TV reporter? She would like a contact number for the event, and since I'm not physically there I'm not the best person. If you're willing to give up your cell to her, please private message me. Thanks.
