Bichon Bash 2002

Well, it was time for the
annual Bichon picnic in
Columbus, Ohio.

Much of the work was done by Cathy
Senalik and her family.

And Aunt Shannon, Aunt Dawn (hiding
behind Tasha) and Shannon's sister Jill.

There was a BIG turnout and lots
of white fluffs running around.

Everyone was given a proper greeting.

Aunt Shannon brought her new foster
Timmie, who is mostly Bichon, and was
so flea-infested when he was found
that he had to completely shaved. He is
now living the good life, mostly cradled
in Jill's arms.

Plus Timmie got to ride in the backpack
Shannon won at the auction.

Timmie wanted a ride after he
saw another backpack.

There was a bit of begging
going on.

Dad always gives in to Lily.

Sandy and Paul were there will part
of their brood.

Here's the whole group.

And the rescued bichons.

Here are three lucky rescues.

Some people say that owners
resemble their dogs.

Lily liked watching the events from
the safety of her wagon.

So I joined her for a while.

Dad spent some time with us while mom
took photos.

I made some good friends that day.

Lily and I had to have a really
long nap when we got home.
