View Full Version : What a day at the dog park!

Binx and I just walked in the door. Well, I walked, Binx kind of stumbled in, on account of him being 'dog' tired!

We had a wonderful time. The weather was really perfect, I think, overcast..which kept it cool for the hounds.

When I pulled up, there was Tubby and Peanuts welcoming headquarters. A HUGE motorhome (motorcastle?), and Debbie and Terry to greet Binx and I.

Within 30 minutes, the place was swarming with PT and their dogs. Everyone played together so nicely, even with 'strangers' that joined our group. The food was plentiful, the conversation always moving, the doggies always eating treats, etc.

Problem is!!! My camera won't upload any images right now! UGH. And, to tell you the truth, I am too tired to mess with it right now.

What a great fun day.

So glad everything went well. I will be on pins and needles waiting for PICS :D

Anyone else have a cam out there and want to give us our picture fix? :) :)

I didn't get to the pet talk meeting until late due to the baby shower I had to go to but it seemed that everyone had a good time. I thought the dogs would be all wore out before we got there with Snoopy, Jack and Taggert but that was not the case. There was lots of energy left for mine to plug into. Molly and Mike were just getting ready to leave - it was almost 4:00 before we were able to get there. But I got to peak at the 6 dogs they brought and pet Billie because he had not been loaded up yet.

I was a little worried how Jack would do with so many dogs but with Mike and Molly leaving everyone was outside the dog park having a group picture taken when we got there. A few people at a time went back into the area so Jack didn't have to meet everyone at once but could get use to a few at a time. He seemed to do well with all of them. A "stranger" to the pet talk group was there - Hunter, a long haired pointer and he and Jack did not seem to get along too well. But Jack listens pretty well and it didn't seem to hard to keep them apart.

As usual Taggert did his best to aggravate Graham. I guess because he knows that Graham doesn't like it and will turn and growl at him. Taggert picks and picks and picks. He needs someone to knock him down once and then maybe he would learn.

Snoopy would beg Kia to chase him and then when Kia would get a little too close, he would duck under the picnic table as if to say that it was safe territory. And when Kia would walk away, out would come Snoopy and start it all over.

All the dogs had more treats than you can possibly imagine. Dog treats and people treats! Left over hot dogs, cookies, and a sausage biscuit from McDonalds ( is that right, Phred?).

Since most the dogs were there quite a bit longer than mine, I am sure they will all be worn out. Snoopy however, has not completely worn down. Amy stopped on the way home and her 3 were completely wiped out. Snoopy and Jack were rough housing though and Taggert had to pick at whoever didn't want him around.

Another great outing in Findlay - great day for all!!!

We had such a great time. Mike and I forgot our camera :( so, alas, we can't share any. I was just a tad irritated because we left in kind of a hurry thinking we were REALLY late getting home and our stupid cell phone had gone to Ohio time so we were actually not late at all.

Anyway, our dogs slept almost the entire way home (and so did Mike). They ran and played and had a great time interacting with the other poochies and people. Poor Ralph, requested Sophie and she blew him off for the first hour and a half, but his persistance paid off and they got to be buddies. Binx is about the cutest thing walking. I wanted to take him home. Johanna is a great mommy. Pebbles was very protective of Binx's toy and growled at anyone (4 legged) who got close to it (selfish thing). The food was great and the company was better. Thanks Deb and Terry for the great stuff from the motor home and the welcoming committee. Phred made his awesome chocolate chip cookies again. Our bean dip got spilled by Pebbles on the way to the park, so it was a mess. Johanna tried to steal our fold up chair (she said she wasn't sad that Mike and I were leaving, but didn't want the chair to leave! lol). Mike took the dogs on runs around the park....it was pretty amusing to watch. Mike being pursued by 20 dogs!! All in all, it was a fantastic day.

How does July 12 sound for the next meeting at the park??? Gee, do I sound like I had a good time?? lol

Well, we are home now too, and as my mom said the dogs are pooped!!! Ralph and I are tired too, but we have another party to go to!!! So we unloaded our van, I stopped quick to report in and we'll be off again!

It really was a fun day! It amazes me everytime we can get 25+ dogs together they all get along so well....about 4-5 hrs into some of the dogs start getting a little snippy, but after all that hard running who wouldn't?

Spot didn't do quite as much misbehaving this time...and maybe a little more with Keegan then Huney ( what can I say, he likes a fluffy tail!) Huney got plenty though, from Spot and Zach and I think a few others!

I won't have pictures for a few days...I'm still old fashioned with my 35mm. Hold on, I'm sure someone with a digital will report in soon!!!

We'll see what opinions are about the 12th and if that seems to work, I'll roll the deposit over again and see if can get the same shelter house.

I am two rooms away from Binx, and I can hear him snoring like crazy! I am still sans pictures..I am going to pm Staci, as we have the same digi cam, and ask her what is up.

As to me wanting to steal Mike and Molly's chair, it is TRUE! It was so comfy, and for $5.00, a real bargain. But, they packed it up and away it went.

I almost forgot!!! Binx got his official KEG today! Now he is just like the dogs in the Alps....and we are going to 'wear' it tomorrow as we stroll down for our am coffee...the keg, and beautiful Binx pin were compliments of Phred! I really love both of them, and I just know the keg is going to bring much laughter.

All right, I am wiped out. I have to go rouse the slumbering giant for one more PB, then, to bed for us. July 12 would be great!

What a great day, so many people and so many doggies:D

I have quite a few pictures, but I haven't uploaded them yet, I'll do it tomorrow morning first thing, good thing Staci got hers up!

The food was wonderful, but the company was even better.
Yep, I think that Binxy was the star of the show today, how could he not be, just look at that face! And George, I think I'd love to steal him & Serenity from you Molly;)

The puppies are pooped as well as us.

Thanks Deb & Terry for setting up the PT Headquarters, it was great!

And July sounds good to us!

I will DEFINITELY come to the July 12th meeting! I wanted to come to this one but my husband took the truck this weekend, and the minivan isn't in any shape to drive all the way to Ohio (bad brakes and leaky tires). I have already marked my calendar for the 12th and I will let my husband know that I GET THE TRUCK THIS TIME!!!:mad:

05-26-2003, 01:58 AM
Oh oh, I am so envious of all you guys who were there...! Even without a dog, it must be lots of fun to be there! Hey, now I am even more looking forward to meet several Ptt'ers in July!! Will be fun, hey!!

mugsy
05-26-2003, 08:33 AM
That is Hunter. He and his owners were there to rollerblade, but came into the park and the male owner said he might join us on Pet Talk. Hunter was a doll. He LOVES attention and LOVES to pull his owner on the blades....that was hysterical.

Cataholic
05-26-2003, 08:33 AM
Jen,
that wire haired is Hunte, our new friend. He was a rescue, and this guy has had him about 6 months. He is two years old. Very sweet and energetic!

What a great, and very full day! Didn't get home until about 9:30 or so! A very full day of fun, play, friends (both canine and human) and laughter. I didn't take as many pics as I could have because as soon as I would have a good shot, someone moved, turned their head, another dog came and blocked the pic...I got impatient and so I didn't take as many pics this time. It is very hard taking pics of dogs sometimes :)

Graham were both so pooped. They sure slept good last night :)

Note to Anna: Even with all the running that Graham did, he didn't limp at all last night or today. The new Glucosomine supplement works amazingly well! I'll email you with the info on it. I thought for sure Graham would be sore last night and today but he was not at all. It's wonderful stuff. Hopefully it works as amazingly well for Angus as it works for Graham! I took a pic of the bottle and I'll send you an email w/pic attached. If you can't find it in your area, let me know and I'll buy a bottle for you and you can pay me back next time we see each other.

Anyway, here are my pics from yesterday:
My former foster pup, Ellie...remember her, everyone?

Hey everyone! Andy and I had a wonderful time. :D I love the pics so far. I have roughly 80 pics, but I won't be able to download them til Tuesday at work.

It was great seeing everyone again and meeting others for the first time! :D

Kia unfortunately had to turn into the b**chy queen now and then. :rolleyes: :( :o

So she had a few time outs in doggie jail.

Other than that, she pooped herself out with all the playing.

She had fun chasing Spot. :)

Can't wait till the next get together!

After reading all this great suff and seeing all the pictures I really wanted to come in July. But I looked at the calendar and the 12th is a Saturday. (I know that most people prefer Sat. but we both work Sat.....all day). I KNEW that if I didn't try harder to make it this past time [a Sunday] that there would not be another chance.:(

Thanks for the pics, Leslie, Johanna and Anna! I'm glad you all had a great time and that the weather behaved too. :)

It's amazing that such a bunch of dogs who doesn't know each other can get along so well - but then of course, they belong to pettalkers! ;)

Can you imagine the hissing there would be if everyone had brought cats along! :rolleyes:

And thanks Cinder & Smoke for the hilarious report! :D

05-27-2003, 07:55 AM
We could always make it the 13th. I guess I didn't really think about it being Saturday. Whatever works. We just talked about it as we were eating and decided that the weekend after the 4th would be better. If everyone would rather do it on the 13th it's no problem for us.

I think there's a possibility that I may be able to make the trek in July--or possibly August if there's another one. I will have to make a few calls, and figure out exactly where I am going--oh, and Kito would probably have to stay in "jail" like Angus:(

anna_66
05-27-2003, 02:46 PM
That would be great if you could come! Angus said being in jail wasn't too awfully bad, at least he didn't have to stay home all alone:)

Oh, and I forgot to everyone who was at the park, even though he didn't act like it, Angus REALLY does love people, but I guess he loves them the most when they are at his house and not around 20 other dogs:p

I called the Park office today and the shelter is available to the 12th ( I didn't ask about the 13th). It is held verbally for one week, but I will need to get a check in the mail soon, if that is the date we want to go with.

Anna, I thought Angus did very well. I wish I had gotten out the park more to see him, but I'm glad he came. He is a beautiful Rottie!

05-27-2003, 04:56 PM
I love Angus. He just doesn't understand dogs very well. I would much rather you bring him, and keep close eyes on him than to leave him at home all day.

Welllll....

Dunno bout "most people prefer Saturday..." :confused:

Kuz the last two Findlay Gathurinz were both held on Sundays ~
And both were *QUITE* Well attended! :D

*WE* don't really care - but if given the choice - would probably go for the Sunday. And if the Sunday (rather than Saturday) allows more folks to attend - *WE* see no reason to change.

We'd hate to loose any of the *regulars* by changing the day - let's see what everyone else thinks.

Not too sure how Saturday the 12th came about; I know the 4th of July was thought to be possibly a bad choice - family gathurinz being popular that long weekend. Should we start a New Thread with a "Poll" to pick either the 12th or the 13th??

Gotta make up our minds soon - so we can lock down Pavilyun #7 affore someone else :eek: grabz it!

05-27-2003, 07:23 PM
A new poll might be a good idea. As for me and my pups, Sunday seem to work better. If we leave it the 12th (which I am okay with if that works best for everyone), me and my pups will have to join you late again most likely.

I could never imagine anyone in PT land ever thinking ill of you for bringing Angus!! He is such a honey, even locked away :D

If I lived in the States and came to the dog park, Ruby would be locked away too!!! BUT I would definitely bring her ........

Mike and Molly offered to help me with her ........:D
One day, I will be on their doorstep with the Ruby monster .....:D

Let me know if you guys decide on the 12th or the 13th.

I'm trying to get a road trip involving my mom, aunt, best friend, and Nebo to Ohio around that time period. Staci said there was a dog-friendly hotel very close to the dog park, anyone have more info on this? If we did go, we'd have to stay at dog-friendly hotels along the way, which may be rather difficult...:(

If we *do* get there, a Saturday would work better, as most likely we'd be leaving on a Sunday, less traffic.

anna_66
05-28-2003, 06:38 AM
That would be great if you could come Amy! I know there are alot more dog friendly hotels than there used to be.

That would be great! There's only one, ok, two minor problems....Phred couldya talk to my boss about getting more time offa work? Then Terry's boss could use some talkin' to, too. ;) :)

What a day! I don't think I've ever been around so many dogs at one time! And they were all well behaved, even Mr. Binx when he just had to have some pants leg.

Here's Terry, trying to make friends with Cincy, and Smokey thinking Terry had treats or something.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid63/p488811a7010c1f56b30a3cbe82a4ecec/fc0de12a.jpg
And after some searching, he finally found some treats. Phred was surprised when we handed out treats without making the doggies work for it, so I made Smokey work for this one - but only this one. ;) :D
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid63/p93d7dad11594ef34743c7f816d4b6c2a/fc0de10a.jpg
I've never seen a dog climb on the table as much as Cinder did. She knew that's where all the treats were I think.

Here's the whole gang at the Pet Talk Headquarters. I couldn't believe we got everybody - including the doggies - to sit still long enough for this pic! Although it was towards the end of the day, so the doggies probably welcomed the rest time.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid63/p9ddb96c80b51ef69452820e777f32ba5/fc0dde2f.jpg
Here's Binx with his head in the ball. What was most funny about this was that while he's laying there, the rest of the doggies are going wild, chasing each other all over the place, and here sits Binx, quiet as can be, entertaining himself with a deflated ball.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid63/p4046af3c597e87d3315433cb8e547cbe/fc0dda8d.jpg
Treat time!

Here's Angus, on the other side of the fence. I thought he was very sociable and Anna, I'm so glad you did bring him. I'd hate to think of him all alone at home while everyone else had so much fun.

Phred brought special treats of McD's sausage biscuits! Everyone patiently waiting for their turn, but Cinder and Smoke abviously feel like they deserve preferential treatment from Dad. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid63/p885fdc4ff6a8b7a82369536c728ae149/fc0dda62.jpg
And another thing I thought was funny....Here we have all these dogs inside the fence, and all these people standing around, but whenever anyone would leave the fenced in area without their doggie, the doggie would stand at the fence and whine until their human came back inside. Now, with everything going on, doggies chasing each other everywhere, how did these doggies know that their human stepped out for a second? Smart doggies I guess. It was cute to see though because it's they were totally lost without their humans, and just couldn't even consider playing until their humans came back. :D http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid63/p0a6210349ab3a2c246ca0b8f9c7b6d16/fc0dd958.jpg
