Another great turn out for our 3rd meet! We missed those that couldn't make it, but I'm sure that we will see you at one in the future!

The weather was pretty cooperative, thankfully. We've had a lot of rain the last week and there is more in the forecast for the next few days. It was a bit chilly but it sure didn't seem to affect our goldens!

We had a few other golden owners who came over to chat when they figured out that it probably wasn't just a coincidence that 15 golden retrievers happened to be hanging out at the dog park together We told them all about the wonderful community that is "GRF", so please give these members a friendly welcome if they sign up and introduce themselves!

ANYway, I know you're all here for the pictures so here they are....

Molson and Triton (2Retrievers222)

The ever famous conga line of dogs! Logan in front followed by Molson and a couple of others I can't tell

Molson couldn't stay away from Logan, even after Logan told him he didn't like him!

Molson wanting to play in the dirt, but being a good boy!

Some of our new members, DanaB on the left and GerryG on the right petting his girl, Chelsea!

Burgundy loving any attention she can get from the humans!

Dana petting one of the non-GRF dogs. I don't have any pics of her own dog, Bridget!

Lily's way of telling her parents PB&J that she wants a bath!

Molson's taking a breather

Chelsea wanting to be a chocolate lab!

Lo and behold, Burgundy is playing!

Molson ventured over to play with her but she is obvioulsy the Queen of this dirt pile!

Awww what a cute couple! Molson and Bailey :smooch::smooch::smooch:

Bailey

Molson is checking out Magic, an 11 year old belonging to a friend of Melissa.

Apparently Molson couldn't get enough of Magic! What a sweet face on him!

I think this is Noah trying to say hi to me, between my knees! :doh: haha

Lots of gold!

The beautiful Maddie and Magic. They make a darling couple, too!

This little French Bulldog loved hanging out with the big dogs today.

A friendly Mastiff that spent some time hanging out with us too. In Jay's words, "That guy needs a bra for his face, it's so droopy!" LOL!

Scout, Noah's little big brother was an honorary golden retriever today!

Here's Noah (I think?)

Jay and I with Molson!

Molson is secretly telling Hailey to get his parents to join GRF!

Great pictures Steph!! I will be adding mine once I wake up from my nap...I am pooped from today!

 

[HovawartMom]

Great pictures!.Looks like you,all,had a lot of fun!.

 

[PB&J]

Great pictures Steph! It was great to meet you and Jay and Molson in person! I'll be posting my pictures as soon as I have words with my computer! How do you post the pictures and be able to write in between the pictures?

 

[missmarstar]

Looks like another fun meetup!!

 

[Oaklys Dad]

That looks like a fun meetup. Lots and lots of great looking goldens and peeps having a great time. I agree that the Mastif needs a bra for his face. Too funny.

Great pictures Steph! It was great to meet you and Jay and Molson in person! I'll be posting my pictures as soon as I have words with my computer! How do you post the pictures and be able to write in between the pictures?

Upload your pictures to photobucket (it's pretty straightforward, just sign up at photobucket.com) and then each photo will have an image code that you can copy and paste into the post...I put all of the picture codes in first and then hit "preview" and it shows you all of the pictures...so you can describe away between the pictures

 

[Abbydabbydo]

Wow, looks like a fabulous meetup! Molsen is darling. Is that mastiff maybe a Shar Pei?

 

[EvilNessCroft]

Looks like so much fun! Loved the pictures!

 

[PB&J]

Thanks Melissa! I've discovered photobucket and Mike helped me resize the pictures, here they are! (Scarily enough this is what I narrowed it down to from over the 80 pictures I took...)

Lily.."Did you say it's time to go to the park?!?

Last one...Lily after we got home and removed a layer or 12 of dirt...I'd say she had a great time at the meet up too!

 

[GoldenJoyx'stwo]

That looks like fun!

 

[LibertyME]

great pictures.....looks like it was a good time for all

 

[Debles]

How fun!!!! and all those gorgeous goldens!

 

[gerryg]

Those are great pictures.

BTW that big neapoliton mastiff that was hound dogging chelsea is one of her buddies. He was bit persistent about taking it to the next level today though which is why he seemed like part of our group...you'd never guess his name is Romeo

It was good to meet everyone and put a face to the user names...lot's of great dogs and owners and the weather held, so i'd say it was pretty successful. Now I will have to take some lesson from you guys on how to do a proper signature and get my post count up past 15...thanks to PB&J for suggesting milton, gerry

 

[mm03gn]

[asiacat]

those are great pics!!! looks like you guys had a great time and we are sorry we had to miss it hopefully next time....

 

[New Golden Mom]

Great pictures! One of these times, we're going to make it to a get-together!!

 

[esSJay]

Great pictures Steph! It was great to meet you and Jay and Molson in person! I'll be posting my pictures as soon as I have words with my computer! How do you post the pictures and be able to write in between the pictures?

It was great meeting you and Mike too!

FYI, there's another way to post the pictures and write in between them without using photobucket.

Upload the pictures by either clicking on the paper clip in the 'toolbar' of your reply box, or clicking "manage attachments" below the reply box. Once they are all uploaded, click on the little down arrow beside the paperclip (as below)

It will list all of your photos that you uploaded, and you can either insert them one by one or at the bottom you can select "Insert All" and it will paste the image code into it. (like this

Then click Preview Post and you can add your captions below them.

Just make sure that you have only one image code per line otherwise you will have to scroll across your screen horizontally rather than vertically to see them.

Hope it helps!

 

[Mad's Mom]
