    Hey girls...I brought this great looking guy to meet all you girls. We looked for everyone at the waterfront park; we walked down to the park on the otherside of Michael's and decided to eat our lunch there. At 3 we went to Michael's Harborside and asked for the Meetup group...never heard of you. We were going to go upstairs, but security said no large groups had come in. Hung around; checked out the deck from the entrance. So we spent the afternoon by ourselves. Sorry you missed him girls!

    Karen's bringing nail polish for me (just in case) and we can share it with Blackie....oops, unless she's been declawed, that is. Wow, Carla, you're really starting to "scratch" the surface with Dana and his Blackie!

    Dana, why don't you take a moment and paws for thought? Perhaps reconsider bringing Blackie? She would look so cute in a hat and we could paint her claws....

    Hiya Kelly-cakes! I think it's more likely that it's Blackie's long twitching tail you have to beware of...

    Why are you all talking about me behind my back? I'm originally from Dog Town, PA. just moved to Pep-puurr-ell. And I am not afraid of anything or anybody. Who is this Dana character...does he thinks he owns me?

      “ Hey girls; I brought this great looking guy to meet all of you. We could not find anyone at the Waterfront Park. It was suggested we try the park on the other side of Michael's. No one there. So we ate lunch. At 3 we went to Michael's. The desk and Security told us no large groups or Meetup had come in. We hung around until 3:30. From the parking lot we looked for anyone on the decks I might recognize. So we went downtown and spent the rest of the afternoon together. Girls, I tried my best... ”
