Clifford's great adventure! UPDATE

[Clifford, Cloud, Jake..and Kim]

Hey friends, Clifford here, and my mom just told me we are going on an adventure tomorrow! We are going to meet up with some other doodles in Ohio at a huge dog park. I'm really excited and a little nervous...I've never been swimming before and I saw pictures of them doing daredevil jumps off a dock. I hope they don't laugh at me.

I'll let you know how much fun it is when I get back tomorrow.

UPDATE:

WOW! I had the best time of my life so far!!! I met Spud, Starlit, Sheba, Duke, Ralph, Rosey and Bandit - it was the most awesomest thing to be able to play with other doodles...we just "get it" and know how to play together. The big lake was even fun, although the bottom felt a little funny between my toes and I didn't swim - I walked out to my belly though and even retrieved a tennis ball! We got to explore wherever we wanted and lots of people kept coming up to pet us. Spud is quite a madman with a tennis ball, I could learn a lot from him. Sheba and Duke are great frisbee catchers/retrievers...they even got one my mom threw and you should see her throw (so embarrassing). Rosey was really brave and even put her head under the water - maybe she can teach me how to do that someday. Bandit is pretty funny - he rolls in the sand like he is making sand angels and then bounces off to do something else...little kids can be goofy sometimes! It was neat how his mommy can carry him though, kind of wish I was a little kid too. Starlit was shy so I hope I get to meet her again so we can become better friends. Then there was Ralph, I knew Ralph's sister - my foster sister Mocha (Latte). Ralph was pretty calm...probably cuz he was on a leash so he didn't wander off, you know how foster dogs can be! He didn't seem to mind because he gots lots of pets from people walking by. There were other doodles too - some that kind of looked like me - and they joined in the fun so we could show the other dogs what real doodle play is all about.

I slept on the way home and dreamt about the fun things we got to do....sure wish we lived closer so we could do this every week!

To all my new friends: thanks for inviting me and I can't wait to meet up with you soon!

To Guinness: I hope we can play in the water sometime too and I'm really glad your brother is going to be alright. If you need to take a break from nursing him back to health just give me a call and we'll meet in the middle.

OMD! Suzann, Rosey & Bandit! YOU ARE COMING TOO??? YEAH! You know, I am more excited than the dogs I think ( of course, as usual, they have no idea what I am talking about). I am screaming at DH and his head is now turning too. WTD are you talking about wife? YEAH

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

I just told the dogs about today. Heads turning. Heads sideways. Eye contact. Glowing eye contact. Head turned the other way. They know--today is going to be a good day :)

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

OMG! You are coming to OHIO? Coming to play with US? FANTASTIC That is a surprise :) Almost spilled my coffee just now! Can't wait to meet you all

[Adrianne Matzkin]

We are soooo jealous!! We haven't been able to meet Starlit or Ralph yet but we have played with Spud, Sheba and Duke and we really, really miss them!!
Maybe our Mom will get off her duff and take us to Pittsburgh to stay with Mickey and we can go to Ohio, whatever that it, to see everyone!

[Clifford, Cloud, Jake..and Kim]

Terrific! We are meeting Sheba, Duke, Ralph, Spud and Starlit around 2pm this afternoon.

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]

I might be able to make it!!

We're going to BowWow Beach in Stow, OH. Not an official doodle romp but it looks like fun.

[Suzann, Rosey & Bandit]
