    ****FLORIDA Pet Talk Meeting!!!! ****

    Okay you guys, I've had Kay Ann tell me, call me, and PM about this so I suppose I should finally post it! lol

    We would like to plan a meeting right here in Palm Harbor, FL. (just northwest of Tampa) I know it is quite far for most of you since the majority of Pet Talkers live in the Ohio area. That's usually why you all meet up there. Kay Ann and I agreed that it would be nice for as many of you to come down here since it's a change of scenery!

    We have 1 dog beach about 5 minutes away from our houses, 1 dog park about 8 minutes away, and 1 other new dog park about 10-15 minutes away.

    I was thinking about the weekend of Friday October 10th-Sunday October 12th ...give or take a few days if some people wanted to stay later or come earlier.

    I figured maybe the Friday night we could meet up with whomever might be here already and go out to eat or something of the sort. Then on Saturday we could go to the closer of the two dog parks and have a big BBQ. We have a shelter right next to the dog park and I am going to arrange to put a temporary fence around the posts of the shelter so that we could have our dogs with us as we eat and not have to worry about holding their leashes or leaving them in the park area. Then on Sunday we could pack a few coolers of drinks for us and our dogs and go to the dog beach....which by the way is 10 times nicer than the people beach!!!

    I have a couple hotels that are pet friendly. I would probably suggest you guys stay at a specific one because I know it's nicer than the others. It's also cheaper and closer to Kay Ann, myself, and the parks.

    I would really like to see if this could work out with some of you in Florida and outside of Florida. Please feel free to PM or e-mail me about any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from all of you!

    COME ENJOY FLORIDA AND DOGGIES FOR A WEEKEND!!!

    We're having a meeting in New Mexico in late October so that might interfere with some peoples' schedules. I know I'd love to go to Florida but I can't make too many trips per month

    Hopefully tons of people somewhat near Florida can go though!

    Here are a few photos of the Dog Park nearest to us, where we would have the BBQ.

    The park has two different sections. One for the small dogs and one for the larger ones.







    Here are some photos of the dog BEACH.

    I'm not sure which hotels Lauren was talking about, but there's a hotel right in front of my neighborhood.

    I am so excited! If I'm not off, I'll have to apply for some vacation days because I sure don't want to miss this! Duke will have a blast!

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    I'm only 2 hours away from Tampa, so I'd love to come up one of those days. I don't think I could do a whole weekend, I still have pets to take care of at home. Maybe on sat for the BBQ......this way I get out of wearing a bathing suit in public. LOL

    Also all Motel 6's allow pets, there not the best but they work in a pinch. I have found some Hotel/Motel's that are pet friendly only allow small pets. You might want to check into that. I know I got hung once with a hotel that said they where pet friendly, but when I got there they said Tuffy was to large, they only took 20lb or less dogs. So it was off to Motel 6.

    Awww man how can I pass that up! Your so lucky to have so many dog parks and beaches and I want to meet you guys...ahhhh I wish I could go!

    I asked my dad if next year it would be okay to get together with a few PT friends at Florida (we'll probably be going on vacation there) and he said no even if he comes along. BAH!!!
