2012 Annual Picnic Shot - Click for Larger View
We came, we survived the sunshine, the rain, the swimming pool bathers (Kobe and Roxie). We had great conversation, food, marvelous times with the dogs that looked like wet rags going home. Each year we take a shot and never manage to get everyone in as they either leave too early, come too late or just don't want to be in photos and I GET that!
Thanks goes to Steven and May that are wonderful taking these photos each year so we can share with you. Without them I certainly wouldn't be in the photo and would be clicking instead.
Thank you to Yvonne and Alex for opening their yard, the home to all these wonderful dawg people and I am proud to say are part of our dog families. The way I see you connect with the dogs with much love actually does my heart good. It's the reason we can do this.
Thank you for all that brought yummy food! Kobe beef - wow!
Watching Maxine and her parents running around like Nathan does and playing with the dogs - WOW. Gerda coming all the way from Alberta and saying she would do it again - WOW. Scruffster's parents - the interaction and the smiles you gave me laughing about the two step dancing, Heather those clothes you wear are amazing and you and Fred's sense of humour - priceless plus Marlaina's gentleness with Risa... WOW Carol's dancing with her two dogs - Coco and Doozie - AMAZING - and I could go on and on but I would bore you I imagine. All of you - each one of you I have to say I am so happy you are a part of our lives.
Those that visit us - special. Daisy squealing in delight at Nathan and I - priceless - here I go again - enough - I may have not mentioned you but that doesn't mean I won't but let's spread the stories out and share with each other the fun in the comments so those that didn't come know what was missed.
Even the huddle wet rag experience was interesting!

It's wonderful to see the wonderful time had by canine and humans through these fabulous photos! Fun to see familiar faces and also see parents attached to the beautiful dogs that are frequently pictured in the blogs!
So Kobe is a swimmer now too. :-) That's great!
Even though circumstances didn't allow for us to attend this year, we were all with you in spirit and soul! Doug, Debi & Laci
I have heard of human's having a "cousins club' BUT THIS IS MORE AMAZING. I think fun was had by all, the dogs and their owners. A huge thanks to Yvonne, Alex,Nathan and Darlah for organizing the day.Everyone loved ALL the dogs, not all cousins love each other. Hope we can all meet again next year!

This was our first picnic and we had a great time! Too bad we had to leave before the group pic. We had to drive to Montreal and did so in torrential rain for the most part. Cooper had a wonderful time. It was great to see all the dogs, big and small, young and older. They are beautiful no matter what age and size. Thanks Darlah and Nathan, Yvonne and Alex for making it happen. It is truly a special event! Anne, Russell and Cooper xo
