What's a "Gathurin"?? ... What's this all about ??
http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/wink.gif

For the Newer Pet Talkers, and anyone else who hasn't seen the
sometimes "lengthy" posts devoted to Planning these Events,
and the always enjoyable "Reports" (complete with extensive
Photo Coverage) of the Events ~

Here's a capsule summary of What Goes On:

We "Gather" at the very nice Hancock County Park District "Dog Park" in the
north-western corner of OHIO.
Facilities include:

* A 2-acre fully fenced OFF-leash Dog Park - with picnic tables, running water,
a few shade trees, grass, a lil mud, a collection of toys & balls -
a fine place to let a Friendly Pooch *romp* with other dogs.

* And 100 feet away ~ An enclosed (on two sides) Covered Picnic Pavilion
with concrete floor, picnic tables to seat 90 or so, electrical outlets,
2 charcoal grills - and enough Food & Covered Dishes to feed a mid-sized army!
(We NEVER go away hungry!!)
We Reserve and Rent the Pavilion - so there's no risk of it being "occupied"
by anyone except our Pet Talk Gang.

* Within 500 feet - there are two CLEAN Rest Rooms ~ OK, they don't *flush* -
but they ARE "clean", have concrete floors, and locking doors!

* A large, paved parking lot is within sight of the Dog Park and Pavilion.

* Many wooded Trails through the beautiful Park are available, but most
Folks hang with the Gang in the Dog Park or at the Pavilion.

* Food is casual / picnic stuff - everyone brings a lil extra to share - and as
said before - ya won't be hungry when you leave!

We can't stress enough that EVERYone is More than Welcome!!
We were all "strangers" when we came to our "first one" - and most everyone
who has been to one keeps coming back!

About the only "REQUIREMENT" is that the DOGS have to be "Registered"
to enter the Dog Park area.
Not a "big deal" - but it's da LAW!
If anyone is coming that has dogs that aren't "Registered" with Hancock PARKS -
it costs $10 - for up to THREE Dogs - and is good for the entire year.
PM me at "Cinder & Smoke" and I'll fill you in on the Registration procedures -
allow about 10 days to send for and receive your Permit.

If you're still "not sure" -
take a look at some of out Past Gathurins in these threads >>>

Q: How do we go about registering for the dog park?

Here are *links* to two Hancock Park District web pages;
(Links corrected on 4/06/2007)

The first link has a brief "Tail" about the Riverbend Recreation Area. >>>
http://www.hancockparks.com/riverbend.html (http://www.hancockparks.com/riverbend.html)

And here is the *link* to see and PRINT the
Dog Park Yearly Permit Application >>> (Link corrected 4/06/2007)
http://www.hancockparks.com/pdf/DogParkApplication.pdf (http://www.hancockparks.com/pdf/DogParkApplication.pdf)

NOTE: You Must Have "Adobe Acrobat Reader" installed on
your 'puter to Load & See this .pdf file...
If you don't have Adobe Reader -
I guess PM Me at "Cinder & Smoke" and we'll get you a form.

Note 2: The Application is TWO Pages long -
be SURE to Print Page 1 AND Page 2;
Page 2 is a WAIVER that Must Be Signed & Returned -
and is at the Very BOTTOM of page 2. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/wink.gif

What you need to SEND IN with the Application is >>

1) CHECK made out to Hancock Parks Foundation with
Memo to: Dog Park Permit

2) COPY (originals won't be returned) of the Dog's
. . Annual Vaccination Record (including distemper) from the VET...
. . (A Copy of the Office Visit Receipt is fine if the SHOTS
. . are noted & has Vet's Name on it).
. . DATE of Shots needs to be within ONE Year of now.

3) COPY of RABIES Vaccination Receipt ...
. . DATE within 1 or 3 years - depending on the vaccine used;
. . Most Rabies Receipts show an EXPIRATION date for the shot -
. . Rabies Vacc must be "current" (not expired).
. . (Fido should be *wearing* the Rabies "Tag".)

4) All Dogs must also be "Licensed" by the City, Town, County,
or State where you LIVE. Fido should be *wearing* his/her License Tag.

Send it all to:
Hancock Parks District
Attn: Dog Permit
1424 East Main Cross Street
Findlay, OH 45840

Cost of $10 / year registers 1, 2 or 3 Dogs.
(From December 1 to December 31 of the Following Year)
You'll receive a Plastic Laminated "Permit Card" in the Mail -
BRING IT WITH you on visits -
they WILL be Checking Permits this year!!

A note about the "DATES" shown on your Receipts ~
Parks is "happy" if the Dates on the Vet & Rabies Receipts are
"Current" within the LAST 12 Months of when you send them in...
In other words; if Fido had his "Shots" anytime AFTER September, 2006 ~
he's Good to Go!

And a 3 year Rabies shot is good if it was given AFTER September, 2005.

ANY Questions??
Post em or PM me. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/wink.gif

OK - Here's how to get your MapQuest "Directions" with Turn-by-Turn Instructions ...

Use the Click-Link (below) to get to the From and To page for MapQuest.
**WAIT** till the page fully loads - or you'll goof up the pre-filled data!!

When the page finishes loading - you'll have TWO big data blocks -
the one on the LEFT asking for your STARTING Location;
the one on the RIGHT >> Already FILLED IN < with the Dog Park Address.

If you have it - do NOT use Microsoft's "AutoFill" - it will put your home address
in BOTH blocks - erasing http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif the pre-filled Dog Park Address! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/mad.gif

JUST fill in your Home or "Starting" address in the LEFT (STARTING Location) Blocks.

Here's the *Link* to MapQuest >>>

MapQuest Directions To: Findlay, OH ~ DOG PARK (http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?2a=16000 Township Road 208&2c=Findlay&2s=OH&2z=45840&2y=US&cid=lfddlink)

NOTE!! for ROBIN and anyone else driving North from the Columbus, Ohio, vicinity!!! >>>

The "old closed bridge detour" routing you up the WEST Side of the Reservoir
is no longer required ... the MapQuest directions are now correct just as
they print out from MapQuest.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

IF you want to use a GPS or another Mapping Service - here's the Dog Park Address:

16000 Township Road 208 -OR-
Township Road 207 AND Township Road 208
Findlay, OH 45840

GPS Coordinates: (WGS 84)
N. 41* 01.941'
W 083* 33.691'
The Dog Park is INside the Hancock Park District's "Riverbend Recreation Area";
about a mile south of Ohio Route 568;
and just north of the North-East Corner of the big Findlay Reservoir.
The Reservoir is on most maps - and stands out because it is drawn as a
Big SQUARE Blue Lake;
south-east of downtown Findlay.

If ANYONE has trouble with the Route to the Dog Park - PM "Cinder & Smoke"
with your E-mail and Home/Starting Address.

This is where the Pet Talk Memorial (for Bowser, Sherman, Angus and the other beloved pets) is going to be? I'll try. I'd be pet-less, because Cassie Cat is NOT good in the car! I can give pettings, though.

And for Mr. Chipper >>>
Chipper hazza "short list" of acceptable treets ...
Per Mom: Chipper can have treats that are organic or homemade.
We've had success with Solid Gold, Zuke's Mini Naturals, Old Mother Hubbard,
My Doggy Bites, and Wellness brands. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/smile.gif

Things that are no-no's are treats that are loaded with preservatives and/or fillers.
Things like Beggin' Strips, ect. will make him one sick puppy.

Count us in! Me, Jack and Shadow that is! :D

We'd like to drive down Saturday morning, camp out, hang out Sunday, stay the night again and head back early Monday. Might as well make a weekend out of it (since it'll be an extra long drive for me, I'll be coming from school which is in northern Michigan).

I did notice a campground close by to the park, I believe we passed one...anybody know more about this? Or other options? I guess we could stay in a hotel if we HAVE to :p

Same price either Park; standard NON-electric sites.

Hey guys, I really don't think I want to go without Katie. The 3 of us have become really attached and I just can't bring myself to leave her home alone.

I can keep her in the timeout pen or we can stay over at the shelter house so she doesn't get into any trouble. Of course I would need someone to keep an eye on Tori and Sammi if I bring her too. Does anyone mind if I bring Katie? You can be honest. It won't hurt my feelings.
I'll do my best to help watch mo and larry - err I mean - Tori and Sammi - while Katie is wherever you wish her to be. Not sure I'd be able to spend time with Katie b/c of My Miss Jealous Princess but what she doesn't know won't hurt her.
does any of your friend's daughter want to come along?
that's help a bit?
if it means that you're coming you could bring a mountain lion, as long as YOUR watching IT!!! (and I am NOT referring to katie as a mountain lion)=)

k9krazee

08-06-2007, 09:16 PM

I think you should! It would be fun for her to get out of the house too -- I say go for it. And I'm all for keeping you company at the pavillion or helping to watch Tori and Sammi!

Staci, I'll pass on the Berti Bots Beans ;) I bought some at work the other day and I think I ate enough "grass" and "earthworm" to last a lifetime :o

I've been thinking about it and I probably won't go the camping route. Maybe if someone else is coming and wants to camp I will too...but rethinking it I really don't want to alone :o Thank you Phred for the links and information, though!

I bought them a couple years ago and got ahold of a Booger and a Pepper
YUCKKKKKKK

and don't forget Robin - if Joyce comes - she will probably be dog-less...
there's another body.... :)
I'm all for counting bodies - just don't count me as 2 of them!!! ;)

I would gladly watch Tori and Sammi for you. :D
Ah, if only I could make it. :(
Maybe next year! *crosses fingers*

(And for the record, I think the bean salsa is normal... not only that, I think it's YUMMY! lol)

What's all this talk about Boogers, grass, earthworms, Bertie Bots Flavored Beans, pumpkin juice? If you guys bring any of this stuff your gonna have to eat it because I won't be touching it:p

Robin, I'd be there to watch Katie girl for you. You did it for me when we brought Bon!

And I'm not sure what I'll be bringing to eat, but it will be NORMAL...LOL!

I'm not 100% sure I'll be there, but more like 75% sure! :D

If I come, I'll bring the (cans of) beans again and like last time.. any extra's go home with Phred!! :p

Just a side note to first timers driving to the park from the East.
Do NOT try to drive through Norwalk! You'll never get out of that little town!! :o

Hmmmm.. an 8 hr drive isn't THAT bad. Maybe I need to go out and get a dog to qualify to attend this thing?! Either that, or I'll bring Ms. Finae on a harness and leash. She's got personality plus and would probably boss all the pups around!

Will check out hotel rates too.
you don't need to bring a dog or a feline - altho we've had a couple visit :)
we're just glad to have you!
If I didn't have to work the holiday I'd offer you my couch :(
but I will be there on Sunday. :p

I don't mind staying at a hotel... not like I get to do it any other time unless it's with the teachers' union, lol, and now that I'm not part of the executive board, that's gone too... :( . Oh well, they were a hassle, lol. I'll stick to just hearing the gossip that goes on in our school instead of the entire district!

Any hotels anyone can recommend?? I'd prefer to stay under $80/night, but don't want to be in a flea infested motel!

blocks from a mall and a walmart and a pet supplies plus -
for less than $80.
and less than 5 miles from the dog park....

I had to edit my post as to what I'm bringing -
I can do the Snicker Salad - but will have to fore go the green beans -
b/c I won't be able to carry a crock pot with these *@!& crutches :mad:
so I have to bring chips/veggies/dip something that can be easily put in a bag and carried by me.

There must be a way ...

* How 'bout a Back-Pack for the BRD?

* Maybe a Lil Red Wagon for the BRD to haul the Pot in?

* Plan B: Pre-cook da Beans & Stuff; empty into Baggie & then Icey Box
** Ask the Friendly Neighbor to load the empty Crocky Pot into the Bus
** Load da Beans & Stuff Baggie into Bus on Gathurin Day
** *HONK* upon arrival ... Crocky Pot transporters will appear
** Re-unite da Beans & Stuff wiffa Crockey Pot.

I think so Moff. Not to sure about the dog bark park area. I was just
about to ask some of the same questions. Are we going to have to cancel
for Labor Day? Anyone heard from Phred?

The flooding I saw on film was downtown Findley. Bad news. :(

I'm **TRYING** to post a reply ...

Short Story --- 10 days to go - things "otta" dry out in time for Sept 2nd ...

PLAN to be there - we'll only cancel if conditions are really bad.

Heck - the SUN might even be shining by then!

;)

Karen

08-22-2007, 08:49 PM

From Cinder and Smoke, via me, as he's having trouble posting:

Findlay, Ohio, IS where we hold the Labor Day SUNDAY Gathurin ...
and IS also where the Tide is running a bit high the last few days! :eek:

Not too sure about the dog bark park area.

Are we going to have to cancel for Labor Day?

It's WAY TOO Early to decide if there's going to be a "water problem" at the

Findlay Dog Park on Labor Day Sunday, September 2, 2007.

Current Conditions are a little "iffy" ... but there's 10 days to dry things out! :)

Flood Warning
FLOOD STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND OH
336 PM EDT WED AUG 22 2007

THE FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1100 AM EDT THURSDAY
FOR*HANCOCK COUNTIES IN NORTHWEST OHIO...

IN HANCOCK COUNTY... A FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE
BLANCHARD RIVER AT FINDLAY.*
FLOODING CONTINUES IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON. MANY ROADS ARE STILL FLOODED AND CLOSED. WATER LEVELS IN SOUTHERN HANCOCK COUNTY WILL BEGIN TO RECEDE THIS EVENING.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the Graph of the Blanchard River at Findlay Guage Station - in the south-western corner of Findlay ...

Note the :eek: 17 FOOT Increase in river dept from 1:00 AM Monday till it crested today (Tuesday) at about 2:00 PM.

The Guage is about 6 miles west of where the Dog Park is;*the Blanchard River runs a few hundred yards to the north and the east of the Dog Park.

River Flood Records were almost set on December 2, 2006 and January 7, 2007, but those "flood crests" were 4 feet LOWER than today's crest.

Till the flood waters receed quite a bit - may take a day or two - the local roads near the Dog Park are likely to be closed or restricted ... and it will be difficult to know what the conditions are.

Absent MORE :eek: Rain in the next 10 days, I'd predict the Dog Park will more or less "dry out", and the local roads will be open by September 2nd.

Hopefully Diana & Carl (4DM) can slip over to the Park and check things out in a few days.

Mite not hurt to pack your Wubber Booties. :p

cyber-sibes

08-22-2007, 09:00 PM

I doubt anyone can even get near the park right now. Rt. 568 always floods. They usually close it. It turns into one giant lake from the Park entrance all the way past the housing/condo developments towards Findlay. (Last spring, the river rose up even with the tressel bridge that crosses into the park, and the road disappeared underwater before the end of the bridge. I couldn't get into the park at all for about 3 days) 10 days is usually enough time for the water to subside, but this sounds extreme! :eek: Add "BOOTS" to your lists of "what to wear" for the picnic!

*edit Rt. 568 is currently closed. Here is a link to local newspaper & info- street closings are about half-way down the page - the Courier (http://www.thecourier.com/Templates/News/CurrentNews.asp#story2)

Hundreds displaced by Midwest flooding

By JOHN SEEWER, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 26 minutes ago

FINDLAY, Ohio - Firefighters and a volunteer armada navigated boats through streets awash in waist-deep water Wednesday, plucking neighbors and pets from porches as flooding that has swamped the Upper Midwest and Plains settled in Ohio.

he water forced at least 500 people to flee their homes in several northern Ohio towns. Rising water forced authorities to move about 130 inmates at the county jail in Findlay to a regional prison.

Many neighborhood rescuers showed up with canoes and kayaks wanting to help during Findlay's worst flooding in nearly 100 years. Three men in a fishing boat ferried a mother and her 2-week-old daughter along with the family dogs.

"That was the catch of the day," said Angel Sanchez, the baby's neighbor.

Milk jugs, garbage bags and soda cans floated in the murky water. Tom Woods took his 8-foot fishing boat to help float out friends stranded in the neighborhood.

"Once we got here, everybody asked us to rescue more people," he said.

The Blanchard River was 7 feet above flood stage Wednesday at Findlay, the highest since a 1913 flood, and could rise another half-foot or more, the National Weather Service said.

The rain subsided by mid-afternoon, and the National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for much of the state, with temperatures expected to hit the upper 90s.

In Bucyrus, 40 miles to the southeast, nearly 9 inches of rain had fallen since Monday and at least 200 people were still out of their homes, the Crawford County Department of Emergency Management said.

"Reality is starting to set in about just how much damage there is in some of the flooded areas," said Tim Flock, director of the agency.

Gov. Ted Strickland declared states of emergency in nine counties in northwest and north-central Ohio, including Crawford County and Findlay's Hancock County.

The death toll from two storm systems — one that has spanned the Upper Midwest and another from remnants of Tropical Storm Erin in Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri — reached at least 22 on Tuesday when searchers found the body of a man tangled in a tree near Lewiston, Minn.

Flooding also continued in northern Iowa as thunderstorms dumped more heavy rain across the already water-logged region Wednesday. Three subdivisions along the Des Moines River near Fort Dodge were evacuated, and crews used rocks and sandbags to shore up a levee that had begun to give way, officials said.

The river crested at 14 feet, four feet above flood stage, and began a slow fall by midafternoon to 13.2 feet, said Penny Clayton, a spokeswoman for the city. She warned of additional rain, though.

A care center was evacuated in Humboldt, Iowa, as water poured into the basement, but no one was hurt.

Thousands of homes were damaged in Wisconsin and Minnesota as the storm swept through. A preliminary survey by the American Red Cross in Minnesota identified about 4,200 affected homes, including 256 complete losses, 338 with major damage and 475 that are still inaccessible, said Kris Eide, the state's director of homeland security and emergency management.

Preliminary damage reports in Wisconsin indicate 30 homes and 25 businesses were destroyed. Another 731 homes and 32 businesses were damaged.

In addition to the confirmed flood-related deaths, a man drowned Sunday in his mother's flooded basement in Iowa after being overcome by carbon monoxide, the state medical examiner's office said.

And in Madison, Wis., a woman and her child waiting at a bus stop at a flooded intersection were electrocuted when lightning hit a utility pole, causing a power line to fall in the water, authorities said. A bus passenger who tried to help them was also electrocuted, they said.

In Oklahoma, which recorded a gust of 82 mph and 11 inches of rain, some 300 homes and businesses were damaged in the Kingfisher area and in Caddo County in southwestern Oklahoma, officials said. According to the Oklahoma Climatological Survey, 2007 is so far the fourth-wettest on record in the state, with an average rainfall total of 31.96 inches, 8.42 inches above normal.

Ugh... looks like it's another part of Ohio's turn for flooding!
The very North East part of Ohio had flooding like this last year.
http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=110148
We received about 9 inches of rain in 24 hours!! I had a few inches in my basement. 25 bridges in Lake County were washed out and some have still not yet been replaced.
Reports said what happened last year was a 1 in 500 year event!!!
Wonder what they'll say about this flooding!

I hope everything dries up quickly!!

lizbud

08-24-2007, 07:05 PM

Local forecast is for heavy rain & storms to pass through central & northern
Indiana, then on to northern Ohio. :( Storms are moving at 30mph.

ramanth

Yeah, that line of storms was nasty. It produced tornados here, but no local damage done to our complex. Just branches down.

Hope it passes Findlay quickly.

I hope everyone over there is ok!

If you do come you better look out though because you might not be able to find Hugito when you leave. He'll be on his way home with me before you even know it ;)

I wouldn't be surprised. He's a big flirt!

but I think barring any complications - we should be fine.

I bet Cinder & Smoke could tell you, as they have stayed in Findlay - and some hotels base it on the weight/size of the dog, and you're all little!

Cinder & Smoke

08-27-2007, 12:03 AM

Can someone recommend a hotel for us that will let us have 3 dogs, please?

PRIOR to the Big Flood ...
Cinder, Smokey and Bowser were welcomed at:
Super 8 Motel - Findlay
(http://www.super8.com/Super8/control/Booking/check_avail?brandCode=SE,MQ,DI,HJ,KG,RA,TL,BU&searchWithinMiles=25&areaType=1&destination=Findlay&stateName=Ohio&state=OH&countryName=United States&country=US&checkInDate=09/01&numberAdults=1&numberRooms=1&checkOutDate=09/03&numberChildren=0&rateName=Senior/AARP&rate=SSR&id=03363&propBrandId=SE&force_nostay=true)1600 Fox St.
US 224 & Fox Street
Findlay, OH 45840-2708 US
Phone: 419-422-8863

Rates were cheap *IF* you bartered for a Good Deal with the Motel Office -
usually $35.00 per night PLUS Taxes = totaled about $41.00.
(They advertise a "best rate" of $45 per single occupancy, PLUS Taxes. Don't pay that much!)

EACH Dog is "supposed to be" an extra charge of $5.00 ... I just say the WEB Site says
"dog friendly" with no mention of Extra Charges!
We've never paid the Dog surcharge! :p
(And now I don't "mention" the Mutts at check-in, either.) :p

Now, the BAD News ...
They're CLOSED while they try to dry the place out! :(
They had flood water in the Basement and First Floor levels ...
STILL not accepting reservations as of Midnight Sun/Mon.
------------------------------------------------------------

Another Choice:
Red Roof Inn - Findlay
www.redroof-findlay.com
1951 Broad Ave (North off rte 224, just east of I-75)
Findlay, OH 45840
:eek: CORRECTED PHONE #= (419) 424-0466

<deep sigh>
Monday Night Night Guy doesn't speak English so good, either ... claims they did NOT get flooded;
he said "rooms available" on Sat & Sunday nights (Sept 1 & 2) ...
"cheapest one person / one bed" was $49.00 PLUS Taxes = total of about $60.00 a night. :eek:
I'll keep calling around. :p :rolleyes:

NOTE: Their Web rates are upwards of $65.00 per night! :eek:
I've bunked with them in Toledo for about $35.00 per night with all three Mutts ...
(mitta forgotten to "mention" the Mutts :p ) - but they say All Red Roofs are "pet friendly".

SOME Red Roofs have feedback saying they're pretty "ratty" or antiquated ...
Toledo Inn was nice two years ago.
I Never stayed in the Findlay Red Roof.
--------------------------------------------------

Do a Google.com search for "Findlay, OH" + Motel and you'll get tons of choices.

BE SURE to check on their Flood Condition ... the 1-800 reservation numbers
may not know if the pillows are still soggy.

Debby,
If your planning on coming maybe you could stay in another town close to Findlay. Just a thought.
I hope you'll be able to make it!

Looking forward to seeing everyone (thanks for the update Stac!)

Hey, Princess Mini and Princess Sierra could hang out together all day and have people serve them treats all day long!
Plus this way if Lucy the pug/chi isn't there again, Sierra will have someone little to follow around! :D

First *Looks* can fool ya ...

Well, I didn't get OUT and look -
but there were some dogless people walking around the inside of the dog park.

The road to the park and around are open - I was able to go in and around.

But I think barring any complications - we should be fine.
;)

Tim B. - the Hancock Parks Director - just called me ...
The Riverbend Park area got hit a little harder than was apparent when Staci drove through ...

Their Park Ranger Station - just north of the Dawg Park and across the road ...
had TWO FEET of flood water inside! :eek: :(

The Dawg Park itself was under about a FOOT of water, as was some of the parking lot. :(
The Lil Bridge across the drainage "creek" floated away.
Thankfully, The Lodge, that new, large and pretty rental building near the road, was spared.

Tim reported that the Grounds Crews were going to start mowing again today -
the grass has gotten way ahead of them this last week. The Lil Bridge will be re-set
into it's proper place later today.

Hopefully, the Dawg Park and Pavilion #7 will be "presentable enough" for us on Sunday.

THANKS to all the Hard Working Park District Employees!
;)

Just thinking... *perhaps* a Plan B meeting place should be scouted out, just in case. ??? (Even if it is just brainstorming so that everyone isn't scrambling at the last moment if things don't go as planned/hoped.)

Uhhh, just wanted to let you all know that I haven't sent in any of my dogs info yet. Kind of too late for that now. Are you guys going to still try to get together at the dog park?

Cinder & Smoke

08-28-2007, 09:18 PM

I haven't sent in any of my dogs info yet.

Wrap it all up and send it on Wednesday ... it should be delivered on Friday.

Pay for a "RETURN RECEIPT" - makes the Park Office "sign for the envelope"
when it's delivered - you'll get a "Delivered" card back next week.

BRING that postal receipt (the one you'll get tomorrow) with you ...
hopefully the Service Ranger will accept that as proof you mailed in the registration.
Bring LAST year's membership card if you still have it ... show's you're a Frequent Flyer.

Not a problem at all Robin!!
I faxed my stuff to them (cert. of shots and filled out app...etc) on a Wednesday, then put a copy of it all along with a check the same day and I had my card for the dog park that Friday! (just 2 days before the meeting :o )

Even of you don't get your card on time, just bring your paper work to the park with you and the pups!

Print out the application from their website (be sure to sign it)
http://www.hancockparks.com/pdf/DogParkApplication.pdf

And fax it to: (419) 423-5811
Here's their phone number and e-mail so you can call/e-mail them to make sure they got your paper work!

*When you sit on the bench, my Sherman will be very nearby, perhaps you'll feel him sitting there so serenely, waiting for a treat...he was such a good boy. Thanks for loving him as much as we did.

I'm starting to get sick though... :( I have a horrible cough and my chest feels like someone's sitting on it! :( Ugh... I feel like poop.
Looks like there is no need to do the sunshine dance... so I'm doing the make me feel better fast dance.

Pat... I still have the directions you wrote for me the last time (when I made the infamous trip through, around and back through Norwalk on my way to the park :o ) I found them above my sunvisor the other day!

Carl & I were out running errands and stopped by the dog park to see how things were. There are no puddles of water - everything seems pretty dry. We really wanted to check out the smell factor. Some areas that are still drying out smell pretty bad. But there didn't seem to be any odors worry about. It was already gettng dark so we didn't stay long but with all the water we've had and the closeness to the river, I would suggest bug spray as a precaution.

The little bridge to the dogpark area looks a little worse for wear but quite usable.

Looking forward to Sunday! See you then!

Here are a few of my pictures - which I found I had not taken as many as I thought I had after I got home - before I lay down to rest.

RobiLee

09-02-2007, 09:52 PM

Well, after stopping by Brandon's to switch Sammi for Katie and unloading my car I am finally home. I had a really good time and it was so great to see all of my wonderful friends and all of the gorgeous dogs. Such a variety of dogs! I loved it. Tori and Sammi slept all the way home. As soon as Sammi got home she turned into her usual hyper self. Katie was happy to see me and her sister and we were happy to see her.

Diana, you got some really good pictures. That little Lucy is soooooo CUTE! I think you should have kept her in your bag and took her home ;). She may be little but she sure knows how to take care of herself. I loved how she put bossy Tori in her place. I'm glad you got that shot of me and Shadow. She is such a sweet girl and I just loved her.

I really hope that we do try to get together again in October. I would love to go on a nice cool crisp fall day.

I'll try to get to my pics here in a little bit. The computer is in a different room and I'm going back and forth so I can watch the race :cool: .

Great seeing you all and {{{HUGS}}} to everyone!!!

Great pictures, everyone! It's so nice to see our PT friends & doggers, plus I recognize several of Star & Sherman's local pals, too! Glad you had a great time. :D

Pam

Great pictures everyone! I will go in a few minutes and check out the albums. After seven years at PT I "know" all of you regulars well :) and it was nice to see a new face or two. Angie was this your first Findlay trip? It was so nice to see Sierra among the dogs. (Hope Buddy was behaving himself at home - no storms). :p Actually it looks like your weather was terrific. Good friends, wonderful dogs and great weather - what more could anyone want!

Most of you know my weakness for pugs. I do believe if I had been there you would have had to frisk me before I left because I would have probably tried to smuggle Lucy home with me. LOL!

You all looked terrific. Thanks for giving the rest of us the feeling that we were there. :)

Girls, so far I'm loving your pictures! Like I commented to Ashley, I think we all really captured the fun we had at the park yesterday:)

The girls got up this morning ate, then passed out again. They are still wore out. Even the Bonbon is tired from worrying about where his girls were.

I did get a short video of Roxey playing. She doesn't play much with other dogs, but she did have a little fun with Taggert:)

Robin, Angie, Phred...looking forward to seeing your pictures!

Pam, I think all of us would have taken Lucy home...she's a sweetheart!

If you ever get a chance to come to one of our meetings you really should...we have a great time:D

Great pictures!!
Anna... I can't believe Diana posted that picture of me! :eek: :o I outta slap you! ;)
Pam, everyone wants to steal Lucy. No, this wasn't my first trip actually this was my 2nd this year and yes Buddy was a good boy at home.

I got home around 7:20 then went out to the campgrounds where my hubby and our friends were. Whew was I tired!!
Sierra never feel asleep on the way home I was shocked!!
I'll start uploading my pictures.. but first I have to go back and look at all the albums.

Angie, I was as surprised as you were!!!!! I sure don't remember taking that picture - Anna do you know anything about it????? Remember I said I was feeling tired and worn out and was ready for my pain meds?- I just don't even remember posting it (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!)

Hi guys! I just now got my pictures on the computer but I don't have time to mess with them right now because I'm off to another big picnic. Family thing and just a few other family dogs on leash so I've decided I'm taking Katie with me today. Poor Tori won't be happy but she had her day yesterday.

The pictures are great and I haven't had time to go through all the albums yet. I'll try my best to get mine on here this evening.

To all the others that posted and couldn't be there. It really is a fun time and I wish you all could come sometime.

Love ya all!

P.S. I'm covered with mosquito bites!....LOL. Definitely worth it though :p

What great pictures and I loved Anna's video. Why is it that Lucy's name is just perfect for her?

It sure looks as though all of you had a great time - and the dogs all act like cousins and they are so happy to see each other.

Glad that all of you got home safely? Phred? Are you still sleeping?

Going to go back and look at the albums now.

great pics everyone! :)
I talked with Phred - he and the pups stayed in Fostoria over the weekend b/c his normal hotel was flooded.
when I talked to him he was sitting at the railway in Fostoria watching the trains go by (Fostoria has very high train traffic) they were going to look for a swimming hole on the way home.
AND
I got a message from Joyce while I was eating lunch, she wanted to make sure we had a great day and she was green and terra cotta and some color with jealousy! I think she got the days mixed up! But the wishes were the same so I posted them here.

Hour later we wuz headed east towards home an heard onna scanner dat da "Hot Cat Train"
finally got past the bad signal in Fostoria and they were gonna try to give him "good signals"
while he ran east ... a lil *hint* to "notch 'em up and run QUICK" ...
We pulled over inna lil parkin lot beside the tracks to *watch* ...

Finally got my pics uploaded. A lot of mine are of Sammi. I don't see her much and really enjoyed watching her have fun the other day so I took a lot of her. Haven't taken many of Tori lately either so took quite a few of her also. I tried to talk Brandon into letting me keep Sammi but he won't got for it.....geesh! A dog that Katie actually likes and I can't have her :(

The boxer with white socks is Sarge, he's Luci & Brutus' "cousin". That goldenoodle looks like Milo - he's got the softest fur ever! I recognize the schnauzers & poodles, but don't recall their names. They began coming to the park close to he time we left Findlay. :)

15? :eek: she looks like a pup to me.
I know - I think the owner said that his name is Cheeko or Cheeto I couldn't quite catch that, and that she got him about 2-3 years ago when his original owner died, her other dog is 14 and almost blind and deaf and he too came from another friend that had passed away.

Phred, do you have treats in your hand (or, did you just give everyone treats)? Is that why all the dogs are by you?

phred keeps a fanny pack full of treats on his belt - so the dogs know if they have him cornered long enough - he'll give!;)

Great photos everyone!! Looks like everyone had a blast and that the weather was nice.

The hotel here has free internet! :D But I forgot my camera cable, or else I'd post the photos of Sara Loves her Tinky and me together! ;) :D

These photos are great!! Sigh... wish I could have been there!!

I was out on my front porch last night, and my neighbor was walking their Golden Doodle, Madison. She had just been to the groomer, and was all nice and short and soft! She had these dorky barrettes by her ears though, lol. I really don't get the barrettes on dogs, lol. I swear she thinks she's a cat! She has 4 in her home, and she'll jump up on the arms of the sofas the way the cats do!!

And most of them know if they have a light enough "touch" ...
they can just Dip In and Help Themselves!
I've been raided as often as I've "treated"!

In the case above ... ALL of the above applied ...

* I HAD just passed a considerable number of treats ...
* I had (as usual) neglected to Zipp the pouch ...
* SOME lil 4-Footer dug in and passed the word - The Pouch is OPEN! :D

We were *serving* Chipper-Approved Liver Krunchies ...
Everyone seemed to approve - even the BRD ~ Princess Keegan!

February 1, 2008 ~ Sony ImageStation will close (http://support.imagestation.com/cgi-bin/sonyimagestation.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=5331)

This sucks http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif

With this in mind - I ordered an Archive DVD ...
and their ever-so (NOT) helpful semi-Live Help foreign nationals aren't too sure if
my album will be available to view whilst the DVD is being assembled.

With that in mind here's a LINK to
" '07 Labor Day Sunday at the Findlay Dog Park " click on >>>

You MAY see the *snappies* and captions - you may not ... :rolleyes:

And you won't see ALL that I *snapped* ... :mad:
:mad:

Seems Big Thumb managed to *twirrl* the lil Mode Wheel on top ...
and dialed up the MANUAL settings - which were last "set" for the 4th of July Fireworks ...
So we suddenly began taking rather lengthy TIMED exposures ...
and got some VERY Bright and SUPER Blurry Dawg Shots. :mad:

I otta just get a Helmet-Cam and let Cinder wear it.

great pics Phred!
I tried twice to post a comment to the alblum but I've already closed my account and you have to? So it wouldn't let me - so don't take it personally that I didn't comment to the alblum!!! ;)

Great pictures, Phred! You took some really cute shots of the "attempted kidnapping" of Luci! :D Looks like a wonderful day. Thanks for the nod Sherman's way, I'll bet he was hanging out there begging for treats with all the others!

These pictures are fantastic, and it looks like a perfect combination of people and pets. Now I remember why I can't go to these gatherings, I don't have a bag large enough to make off with all of the pups that I want (watch out Huney, Shadow, Luci, Katie-I know she wasn't there, Sierra, and Cinder ;) ). Thanks once again everyone for sharing the pictures and the phunn.

I recieved notice from the Dog Park that there is now a change in effect.

Dog Park Membership passes & fees will no longer be required.
The change went into effect Jan. 1,2008. :)

I was just wondering if this is just for out of state people or for Ohio too?

This new NO Fees & NO Memberships & NO Applications policy has been adopted
for ALL Users of the Hancock County Dog Park at Findlay, Ohio.
ALL Users includes In and OUT of County Dogs (and Owners) - and In and OUT of State users ~
In short - NObody has to pay anything nor fill out any forms prior to using the Dog Park.

AND - the Lock on the entry gate has been removed.

BUTT ~ Please note that all the RULES remain in effect:
* ALL Dogs are still required to have Annual Shots
* ALL Dogs are still required to be current on Rabies Vaccination
* ALL Dogs are still required to be Licensed in their home State or County or City.

** In the event of an "incident" (a bite) - YOU WILL be required to PROVE that the
above requirements have been met for the dog in question ...
I'd suggest you make a Copy of Shot, Rabies, and License receipts and then
CARRY those copies with you in the car when you visit the Dog Park.

See y'all on Memorial Day Sunday - Announcement coming soon.
