Not home from the vet until after noon, when the party was in full swing. Everyone helped set up, and Bri took over grill duties.

Lots of good fun and good food.

Delicacies, imported from Italy, and incredibly delicious.

Pax is recovering from puncture wounds, crushed muscles, and a torn paw (several stitches). Drugged up as he is, he is confused, whining to go out and then just standing like a statue. A few minutes ago he finally fell asleep, and we are now moving about quietly.

The long ride tomorrow will probably be good for him.

Thanks to Sue for the photos.
