She went into ouw whiwly doow and the elevatow as if she had lived hewe all hew life..and the city sounds didn't even make a dent in hew composoowe
when we got to the eevatow I stawted to look fow my Stanley
I couldn't believe that he didn't come see me
Stella got comfowtable on the sofa wight away
I let hew west aftew hew long flight
(they had theiw flight cancelled and then we wooted and it took two times as long as it should have)
aftew a while we switched places..she had to twy out what was most comfy fow hew

Mommi was getting mowe and mowe newvous that we wouldn't be able to go on the sailboat aftew dinnew, but as you'll see in this smilybox, the dogstaw smiled on us and we had a most bootiful evening
It was an amazing day meeting so many of ouw DWB fwiends and especially, Bwooke and Gweg , the foundews of DWB, who came all the way fwom Ostwalia. The pawty went on half the day on Wednesday well into the night, and all of Thuwsday fwom 11-12 AM.
We loved meeting so many new fwiendses and seeing some old ones.
Auntie Claudette was able to come to evewyone's delight(hew twip made possible by lots of love fwom many fwiends) We hope coming will give hew lots of stwength to keep fighting hew nasty big C

We thought of all of you and were sorry you couldn't all be here..you were all in ouw thoughts and the stories we told and in our hearts as we sat around talking about the miracle of all being brought together by the one thing we have in common despite our incredibly diverse backgrounds.....the love of our Dogs! and other furrkids!
Special thanks to Brooke and Greg and their magical dog Charlie who inspired and started all this, and thank all of you made the trip from far and near to come and help us celebrate
