Thanks so much Ed and Peggy for hosting...I had a WONDERFUL time! So did Aowynn...she's still just laying around the house falling asleep here and there...I hope it goes through the night..I think she's exhausted. I know I was when I got home and took a nap myself.
BTW...Oklahoma won the game but my husband said it was a VERY boring game! He would have had a better time it he come with me...maybe next time!

Thanks again! I loved getting to see real dogs and real people!

Edpall3 · 10-09-2004, 07:56 PM

I know what you mean about being tired. Shadow went to sleep too. Then we took a nap.

BTW.... you left Aowynn's ball here.

Mom2Hershey · 10-09-2004, 08:12 PM

OMG did we have two lab fest (TX and CT) going on the same day...how cool! Looks like you had great weather and a whole lotta fun.

Edpall3 · 10-09-2004, 08:16 PM

The weather here was great. It was in the 70's to low 80's low humidity and plenty of shade all day.

Gunnergirl · 10-09-2004, 08:36 PM

Wish I could have gone as well!! Looks like loads of fun!!

Morgan's coach called Thursday afternoon to announce practice for Saturday at 3 p.m. which basically ruled out going anywhere or doing anything that'd not have us home in time...and God forbid I let her miss 1 practice

.

Edpall3 · 10-09-2004, 08:50 PM

Get a rope. We should string up the coach for calling the practice.

Yep, yep, yep!! The nerve! lol...esp. whent they don't have a game for another week and a 1/2 and it's a holiday weekend.

Edpall3 · 10-09-2004, 09:37 PM

We had a small group for the get together. There were 3 blacks and 3 yellows. 4 girls and 2 boys. It was really something to see them playing.

Hey, thanks SO MUCH, Ed & Peggy, for hosting our Texas Lab Fest! We had a great time (humans and dogs alike). Baily and Chester slept the whole way home in the car (yea!). The weather couldn't have been better, the food was wonderful and the company was the best! We loved seeing the dogs and their people in person. We're already looking forward to the next one!

Edpall3 · 10-10-2004, 02:37 PM

Thanks Vicki. I enjoyed having you here. It was a really great time.
Shadow slept most of the afternoon and then was too tired to play in the evening. She laid down by her sock that she usually plays tug of war with me. All she did was nudge it with her nose and then just lay there. She slept pretty good last night.

How about the rest of you who were here how did your dogs sleep.

Doll · 10-10-2004, 03:38 PM

Ao slept like a rock! I had to coax her to eat dinner...of course after all those treats I guess who would want to eat...LOL
She slept until 6:15 am this morning which is about 30 minutes later than usual...HOW NICE!

Edpall3 · 10-10-2004, 05:20 PM

I think Shadow is a little depressed today. You know how it is... all the excitement and then nothing. Either that or she is just pooped out. We went for about a mile walk last night and then went to Eisenhauer park where they have a very high hill this morning for a 2 to 2-1/2 mile walk. She may just be exhausted. Either way she is not chewing on me to play with her. At least not today anyway... tomorrow is another story.

Thanks again to all who attended and made the first annual Texas Lab Fest a success. You were all great. Y'all come back now hear!!!
