Bradbury's 88th Birthday Celebration
Mog the Dog here, back from an 800-mile round-trip whirlwind adventure to Mr. Bradbury's 88th birthday celebration in Glendale today. Here are a few photos I took of the event.

88 and in charge of a harpoon! I laughed myself plum silly - good one!

A trip to SoCal to attend RB's birthday party: $120 in petrol.

A photograph with The Man: priceless!

Already home, eh? I hope you didn't hang your head out the window the whole way back!

Well done, MogtheDog - great photos of what must have been a grand adventure for one so small!

Thank You for capturing my gift to the Master, I had not thought about prictures, now I have a keepsake! Thank your Human for me as well.

Who drove home, you or the human? Quite a drive for you. It was very nice to meet you both.

MogTheDog, you did it! And your pretty handler as well! Wow! What a couple of last few days: 1) the watermelon ripened, 2) your trip South was successful, 3) you got to meet Ray and 4) have both you and your handler's photos were taken, and 5) and you got to meet some of thoseother raskullians. Again Wow!

Thanks for the great photos. I am so happy that you and your handler are part of the board and that I could have been there!

It was nice to meet you as well. My favorite human companion drove the whole trip and let us kick back and enjoy the ride. We had a great time!

biplane1 - Glad you enjoyed the photos. Yes, it's been quite the weekend for this old tired dog. We were off and about today as well. My favorite human companion's daughter plays the guitar (mostly blues and such) at venues throughout the SF Bay Area, so we went to one of her performances this evening at an old ale house in Piedmont. What a weekend!
