Rhoohoo, my pawty is tomorrow!  Or our pawty, I should say.  All you tripawds will be there with us in spirit.  But we’re hoping for a lot in bodies too.  No idea if anyone else is going to show besides ThreeLeggedMax and his crew, but he’s bringing a 3 1/2 legged buddy along, so we’re still making progress.  That’s one more tripawd (honorarily at least) than my pawty with Holly… when was that… last month?

The pawty is tomorrow starting at 10:15 a.m. in the Badger Prairie County Park’s dog park, which is in Verona, WI (but really close to the Madison border).  Never sure about addresses for parks, but I saw it listed in one place as 6720 Highway 151, Verona WI.  You can also follow this link to a map of the area and zoom in on the one marked A – that’s the park we’ll be at: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&q=Badger%20Prairie%20dog%20park%20Verona%20WI

So, humans, remember you’ll probably want a hat and/or sunblock.  There’s not much tree cover for shade, and not many clouds expected tomorrow, but the dogs at least can go under the picnic tables if they need to.  Bring water for humans and dogs.  Tomorrow is supposed to be a low in the lower 60s and a high in the upper 80s.  Oh and don’t forget cameras, if you want them!  My mom will have her little Flip video camera and maybe a camera for still shots too, if she doesn’t have too much to carry and you know she’ll post the video and pictures for everyone to see here.  Wish you could ALL come!!!

On a different note, I’ve gotta post my big brother Yoda’s tribute video.  He was diagnosed with bone cancer a year ago this past Thursday.  He died on October 14, 2009.  Besides just being a great guy, he was a super example of a hoppy, well adjusted tripawd after his amputation.   I never met him while he was alive, but his spirit is still near and I wouldn’t have gotten mom without his influence.  Many of you will have already seen the video posted by my mom in the forums, but here it is again for any who missed it:
