Baypath's Bark in the Park 2012 at Hopkinton State Park

While we have lots of stories to tell you we want to get the word out about Baypath Humane Society's Bark in the Park at Hopkinton State Park in MA. We had so much fun at the Whisker Walk we are really pushing Mom to make it the extra half mile to finish the short route of the walk. She is making progress on her recovery and we are sure she can do it.

The event is being held at Hopkinton State Park on Sunday, June 17 from 10-3.

Like the Whisker Walk in addition to the walk itself there are lots of family and dog friendly events, vendors and food to be found at the event. We are excited about going to the park as we have never been. Mom is not sure what the normal rules are about dogs at Hopkinton State Park, but she plans to find out while we are there. For that day, it is open for dog business.

For those of you in the area, the information regarding Baypath's Bark in the Park event can be found here.

We hope this helps get the word out.

We are Back

Mom's surgery was moved from this week to before Memorial Day. While she had grand plans for preposting to cover the time she would not be available, all that was lost when she had to have her preop appointments and then scramble to change coverage for us and finish all the details a couple of weeks ahead of schedule.

Katy has finally made a real close friend outside the family. One of Mom and Dad's adult nieces took the night shift while Dad stayed overnight with Mom at the hospital. Katy decided that someone who would come and not only feed you, but stay the night could possibly be trusted. While this person has visited the house and even stayed overnight on occasions, Katy has only shown slight interest. With Mom and Dad gone, she started to open up.

We would like to say we were on our best guest behavior while Mom and Dad were gone, but we were too worried. Sure, Dad leaves but not Mom. These things just are not normal. We were a bit restless and anxious. In fact, Bailey still is off his food since Mom has come home. I have been trying to help by offering to eat it for him, but all that happened was Dad rediscovered the spray bottle.

Mom finally is up to posting again and has some interesting stories to tell. She made it to the Whisker Walk and has photographs and stories to share from our adventure there.

We will be visiting blogs again. It has been rather hit or miss since Mom's surgery. We have missed all of you.

Wordless Wednesday: A Morning Hug

Shelties in the Irises

Mom loves her irises, but never seems to get pictures of them. This weekend Dad got a double bonuse. He took pictures of her irises in bloom and caught us, too. She was very pleased with his creative shots.

Some Times You Just Need to Squeek a Toy

This has been a crazy week. Mom and Dad are getting some wiring work done on the house. They keep telling us this will keep us from needing to wear those coats they bought for us last year when the heat went out. All we know is that there are people in the house making lots of noise. Unlike our favorite plumber, these guys don't bring dog treats. Can you believe it?

Wordless Wednesday: Don't Bother Me Hockey's On

Where is the Sun?

Mom said that April showers would bring the flowers. Well it is May and we want to know when it will stop raining so she will come out and enjoy them with us.
