Today Kelly and I drove to Chowchilla to deliver the last puppy in her litter to a family that lives in Southern California...Chowchilla was sort-of halfway and there is a restaurant there my family has used to meet at in the past. In addition to the family coming to get the puppy, another family with 2 tibbies of their own came to meet us and we had a verifiable tibbie tailgate party admist truckers and farmers showing up for the great breakfast at Farnesi's Steakhouse and with the smell of cow dung hanging heavily in the air. I took my beloved dog (Simon) seen above keeping a lookout for his tibbie friends. Simon had a grand time and we got a phone call that night with a report that the puppy got to his new home safe and sound and was being introduced to the household. We came home and put our house back together after weeks of makeshift barricades to keep the pups separate from the "big" dogs.
