Florida PT Meeting - June 26th

[Kfamr]

I've okay'd it with my parents to have the meeting at our house. So - the most important plans are set.
Here is some info on the meeting:


WHERE:
Kfamr's House in Palm Harbor, FL (I will PM my address when we've come closer to the meeting)

WHEN:
Sunday, June 26th - from 11am-Whenever

WHAT to bring: I'd really like if everyone could bring a side of food - chips, salad, or something.
If not, a few bucks to help us out on food costs. Also, we have a pool and i'm sure it'll be perfect for swimming around this time, so bring something to swim in!
(If you want to) Everyone do the sunshine dance in hopes it won't be rainy and nasty.

If you plan to bring something quote the following and add what you plan to bring:
FOOD
Main
Burgers & Dogs (Kfamr)

Sides
Veggie Tray (Kfamr)

Home-Made Baked Beans (Dukedogsmom)

Drinks (Fox-Gal)


Some things we'll need (if no one else volunteers i'll get them)

Just some suggestions, you're welcome to bring whatever!



As to who plans to attend..

People - 7

I hope we get some people to show. We plan to have your yard extended and divided in time for the meeting-
This is what it SHOULD look like.

We're going to put up an extra fence so that we can put any problem dogs or even small dogs in there.
Just incase we need it.
The "dog park" area is where the dogs can do whatever they feel like doing.
The Garden Area is where they can go as long as they are supervised.

[Kfamr]

About my dogs:

Since we all know a little about eachother's dogs, and i'm paranoid what people will think about them - here's a "warning" - Feel free to say something about your dogs as well, and let people know what to expect.


Simba:
He has his good days and his bad days, he hasn't had a bad day in a LONG time, so I expect he'll be fine.

Sometimes he is a little weary about new people, though. Eventually he gets used to everyone but at first he may bark and growl. You've just got to take it slow with him. He gets annoyed by some dogs, but recently he hasn't had any problems.


Nala:
She thinks everyone on Earth is for here and her only. she may pretend to be a lap dog. However, if there's other dogs around she may not pay any attention to you. She's a very mouthy dog when it comes to playing.. she loves to talk. Some dogs don't understand this and may get snappy with her - she won't back down to something like that. She is very protective over her food, so lets keep bones and chews away - treats should be okay.

Kiara:
She's very scared of people at first. She'll bark her little head off. Want to become friends? Throw her ball for her. After a while she's okay with people.
She's VERY submissive, so she personally has never had a problem with another dog... but dogs seem to like to chase her.

I wish I was licensed by then!!! I'd love to meet your pretty girls!


We'll be doing the sunshine dance here for you guys, hopefully the weather will cooperate for some fun in the sun pics of the party!!!

[Kfamr]

Just hook Frankie and Jillian up to a sled or something!

[finn's mom]

I'd like to make it, and, I still want to try, but, I just don't know if I'll have the money to make the trip. I should be working by then, though, and, it might be an option. You can put Finn and me as a "maybe", if you'd like, and, it's not too late.

[Fox-Gal]

You can put me down for bringing chips and some drinks. I think those would be the safest item in the car with my pups.

Also about my dogs.

Mooch:
She is blind and has some hearing lost, So expect her to bump into you and your pups, if I let her free at all. She will growl if she bumps into another dog, but nothing else. Also, A sedative thing for me with Mooch, she is 18 years old and her age is showing, in everything, hair lose and a major drop of weight. When people see her, the think the worse, of her and me. She does look very bad, to most people. But the vet says she is not suffering in any way. Just a warning so people don't say, OMG.

Odie:
Odie is a big dog with cat like ways. He sleeps and eats, just like a cat. But he will put up with most anything. The only thing about Odie is he was severally beaten by his last owners and still is a little funny about sudden moves, but if you come to him nicely, his tail will wag and you will have a friend. Also Odie has arthritis, so moves slow sometimes.

Tuffy: (if he comes)
Tuffy, is a Boxer as like most Boxers, he will jump on you to give you his Boxer hug. If you don't like it, put your you knee up to stop him, after a few times, he will figure it out. Now my big worry, Tuffy has never been exposed to other dogs, besides the ones here, so I really have no way of knowing how he will react.
If this worries any one, please let me know and I will leave him home or mussel him, what ever you prefer. Besides that Tuffy is all lover.

lmao, they would look at me like "well... this is the weirdest thing shes done for a photo of us. i'm tired. zzzz."

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I'll have to think about what to bring, but I'll let you know.

Nova is very easy going. She loves everyone, people and dogs both. She was a little scared of Nala last time because of Nala's size (and Nala thought she was a toy -LOL). She has a tendency to horde toys and sometimes she can get a little protective of them, but we've never had any real problems with it.

[Kfamr]

Yay, I'm glad I get to see Nova again. She's such a little cutie.
Nala is fascinated with little dogs. She loves to play with them if they're not too scared of her. She adores my cousin's 2 Maltese's, and generally finds the smallest dog to play with at the park.

[Blustang24]

I hope you have a great time!!! It sounds like it'll be lots of fun!

[BitsyNaceyDog]

I was just thinking about you, Lauren.

I just think it's in the best interest that I don't go.

Maybe I'll see some of you around another day though.

Why do you say that?

[Blustang24]

I wouldn't want to make the situation any more awkward.

[Kfamr]

What situation? As far as i'm concerned you're allowed to be here.
