<DIV>So we are home from BoardWaddle - what fun! So many wonderful houndies! I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked as wrangling 3 Hounds took a bit of work, but did take some.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We parked at the lot by the finish as recommended, so had already been on a bit of a waddle to get the starting gathering to register. Then we we settled in the shade under a tree. Doheny was resting up, and playing the Diva. She graciously posed for photos and accepted pets, but the public had to come to her. The boyz (Zuma and Kahuna) were a bit more active in getting to know those who walked by.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When we finally got going, and I got Doheny on her feet, all was reasonable well for about a 1/4 mile. Then Doheny peeled off and did a Flat Basset in the shade under a parked car. Some kind souls with a wagon picked her up and we continued. Doheny wondered what took so long, and had a very regal air, missing only the queenly wave. After another 1/4 mile, Zuma thought his sister had it pretty good and was getting jealous. Fortunately, there were more kind souls with<EM> another</EM> wagon, so he got a ride too. We went for a while, but it was challenging with Kahuna socializing along the route and trying to watch my other two in the wagons. When the Pooped Pup truck came along, I thanked our good Samaritans and put everyone in the trailer. Kahuna and the other riders were watching the scenery. Zuma and Doheny went to sleep. Doheny was disgusted when they made her get out of the trailer and still refused to walk (she was also refusing to look at me by this point for subjecting her to such torture). After another Flat Basset I picked her up and we started walking again. The lady with the "Parched Pup" water wagon came along, took pity, and we loaded Doheny in there and FINALLY made it to the field and the picnic. Honestly, I was so tired by this point, with Doheny going flat and the boyz pulling all directions that after eating, we left. I put them in the DroolMobile (it had gotten overcast, windy, and quite cool, so they were fine in there sleeping it off) while I made a quick solo trip on the Boardwalk then headed back to the hotel. We all took a 3 hour nap. What a great day! And so fun with all the houndies at the Residence Inn. I also had Maggie the Saint with me, but that is a whole other story.....</DIV>

<DIV>Here are the photos I did take:</DIV>
