Return to Gettysburg

I'll be leaving later this week for a return visit to Gettysburg, PA, for the Greyhounds In Gettysburg event. I always look forward to seeing so many Greyhounds in one place, as well as for the chance to photograph some of them in the beautiful and historic scenery there. Meeting some of the people that, up till now, I've only corresponded with via e-mail, message board, or blog is a plus, too. And, of course, seeing my greyhound friends on the east coast will be great.

And...I get to see Mandy, Sadie's half-sister, once again. We will get together at Sachs covered bridge, just outside of the Gettysburg Military Park.

The forecast is for cool but sunny weather. I'm hoping the ticks aren't as bad as I've read they could be this year.

  1. We put Frontline on last week in preparation for the trip! lol They've been bad here, so I'm sure Gettysburg will be the same. I can't wait to see all your pictures. I know they'll be fantastic!

  3. Frontline works, and we have found no ticks on the hounds this year ... but three crawling on me so far. Our mild winter, with no real freezing temps for long enough to matter, promises to make this a very interesting flea/tick season. I wonder what the dosage would be to put Frontline on a human? Believe me, I've considered it.

    Have fun in Gettysburg. It's my favorite GH gathering ... missing it AGAIN this year because of work. <<>>

    1. i'm sure i'll have a good time. i've come to love that place, if only for the events that happened there in such a small place. there's nothing like that where i live.

  6. We're super excited about going! This will be our first year. All 3 hounds are getting their first flea treatment of the season today, in preparation for the trip.
