Come one, come all, to a TRIPAWD GATHERING at the Mill Valley, Ca. dog park.

Mill Valley is about 30 minutes north of San Francisco. The dog park is HUGE, so it can accommodate 300 to 500 TRIPAWDS in addition to all the local folks. This is a wonderful dog park with responsible owners.

The date is Saturday, April 14th.  11AM until ??????????? It's 3 months away so you have time to plan.

If you missed the December Las Vegas get together, plan on coming to Mill Valley in April.

Bernie Bin Laden, the California Wild Child and his sister Linda will be there!

Tani and Obie, The Pugapalooza group, will be there.

We are still negotiating with Lylee Girl, and her pink cape, but inside sources say the odd's are pretty good Lylee Girl will be there.

Cemil says he will check his busy schedule and will let us know, it's the end of tax season!

Shelby, the P.P. will be there along with the communal water bowl, treats and tennis balls, and maybe her sister Penny and Monkeybutt brother Charlie. (I don't know if Mill Valley could withstand both Bernie and Charlie in the same dog park on the same day) might show up!

Put it on your calender and come out to beautiful Northern California!

Not sure that we can make it...

But Little MB Rocket sure misses Shelby!  He'll never admit it if anyone asks him, of course!  But he does periodically ask me if I ever hear anything from Shelby!  I think that is sign that he is smitten!  kiss

Her Retired AvatarComet - 1999 to 2011

She departed us unexpectedly  January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.

She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

Geez Shelby, its hard to keep up with a party girl like you!!!! December in Vegas, Jan in MV, now April in MV.  You sure lead the glamorous life!!!

Well, first we will see you in January, but we will save April too.  And I can't believe anyone in the west would pass up a chance to meet Bernie Bin Laden in person!

We want to meet Penny and Charlie too, I vote they come.

You are definitely a Tripawd Party Girl, Shelby. That sounds like fun. We'll have to check our calendar...

We are meeting the infamous Bernie next week. We are not sure whether to be scared or excited. Maybe a little of both...

Jackie & Abby

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

We'll be making our hotel reservations for that weekend in the next day or so. Although you have a few months to prepare for the arrival of Bernie bin Laden, I strongly suggest you all take advantage of the New Year's clearance sale prices while you can. Bulletproof kevlar vests are expensive, and while not completely effective against bin Ladens, they'll at least protect the vital core areas of your torso.

See you all then!

Ooooh this will be the biggest pawty ever! Thanks for the advance planning notice, we can start doing some great PR for it.

Now, where's Shelby? The P.P. can bring out the puparazzi!

And don't forget the chariot races! 

Now that Lylee is styling in her new wheels we have to see who covers more ground.  So far the contestants are Lylee in her new chariot, Shelby the PP in her little red Wagon, and Pugapalooza in Spirit Maggie's ride.

Any one else want to enter?

Only 5 weeks until the biggest pawty the TRIPAWD Nation has ever seen!!

We have arranged special reserved parking for all of the TRV's. (TRIPAWD Recreation Vehicles) and the servants have purchased a colorful selection of tennis balls. Pink, yellow, blue and a bunch of other colors. At an event like this it is so important that the tennis ball you carry compliments your outfit.

Hopefully Lylee will bring her MonkeyButt brother "Happy" with her. I know he's not a TRIPAWD, but he's very, very cool to hang with.

Local hotels and eateries have added extra staff, the dog park has increased the amount of "Pooper Bags" available and we've secured a second 5 gallon container so we'll have enough fresh water for the Pawty!

Infineon Raceway heard about the chariot race and will be sending a NASCAR approved pit crew for each and every chariot! The NHRA will provide the crew for timing the race.

We're gonna have a great time so y'all come!

I so wish we were closer.  The NorCal pawties always sound like a blast!  And we could enter the chariot races, too, although Zephyr isn't as easy to push as Rio was.  She weighs a good 10+ lbs. more...  One of these times, though, we're gonna make the trip!
