Lots of labs and Goldens (and the occasional very handsome Border Terrier). And tell your Mom that sand helps to keep needles sharp! This way she won't be upset when she finds sand everywhere in the van. Keep that tail wagging and those needles flying! Susan & Hunter Madison, there is a dog beach!!! in Jupiter, FL.

I will be checking back to see when and where I can see you speak in the Atlanta/Macon area. My main reason for writing to you is to open my home to you. I live 1 hour south of Atlanta and would love to have you stay with me on your way to FL. Let me know if I can be your B&B for a night. I am very dog friendly!!

There's a dog park near my house too. You are lucky that your Mom lets you blog. You must be good on the keyboard. I only get to sit under my Mom's desk when she blogs about me. Woof Woof!

You get off on the second exit to St. A driving south. You drive to Wildwood and make a right, there is a chevron station on the corner, and drive to Treaty Park. We'd be proud to have Madison relieve himself of the tensions of helping you drive at our dogpark. Are there no Florida lectures? <blockquote>I would love to tinkle in your dog park! Thanks for the invitation! Mommy has tentative plans to lecture in Bunnell, Stuart, and Gainesville, Florida. We're not adding on any more in Florida because I won't get to visit enough with the family as it is. ~ Madison There is a dog park in St. Augustine, near I-95.

I'm a member of the Norris, TN quilt guild "Bits 'n Pieces". We have 33 members. I had the good fortune of hearing Ami when I lived in Dallas and would love for our gals here to have that opportunity. We are about 18 miles north of downtown Knoxville - 1 mile off of I-75 @ the Hwy. 61 (Clinton/Norris) exit. I have passed along your info to our President and she'll get back with me. I have no idea what your fee would be for speaking.... would you please let me know? If we can't afford it, perhaps the Knoxville quilt guild "Smoky Mountain Quilters" could host it and we could participate. Thank you! Beth Fielden 865-919-5243 Madison,

Maybe you better let a person with a map plan the itinerary -- I know it is very hard for dogs to unfold maps because of the thumb thing. <blockquote>First we go south, then we go north. It't the only way I could think of getting to Florida and then getting back home again: MI, KY, GA, FL then GA, TN, KY, OH, and MI.
