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!

NEW This Year ~~~
The Hancock Park District has DROPPED the requirement that the DOGS have to be "Registered"
to enter the Dog Park area, and NO Fees will be charged.
BUTT ~~~ PLEASE NOTE:
The Rules REQUIRING that ALL Doge have the following are STILL IN EFFECT:

1) 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.

2) 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".)

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

You should make and carry COPIES of all these documents with you every time
you visit the Dog Park. If there's an "incident" (Fido is accused of :eek: *biting* someone) -
you'll be required to PROVE the above requirements have been met by Fido.

If you're still "not sure" about attending -

Sweet! I'm not sure Cassie Cat would handle such a trip well.

Phred, can you advise what sort of dog treats are preferred, so I don't bring the dog equivalent of junk food. I was at the supermarket yesterday and it seems like there are even more different kinds of treats for dogs than cats! I saw "People Crackers" (Sergeant brand) at the Dollar Tree - are those okay? They sure are cute!

[Cinder & Smoke]

They all LIKE Junque Food! :D

Doesn't matter if it's chewey, krunchie, gooey, soggy, fresh or stale ...
If it fits in their mouths, they'll eat it.

There are a few Pups on "special or restricted diets" - their Mom's always bring
appropriate treets and usually mention in later posts what is "approved".

The very few *phussie eaters* who turn up their noses at common treets can always find something they like from the assortments brought ...

[4 Dog Mother]

I was kind of surprised to see this already up and going but what the hey, the early bird gets the worm - does that apply here?

I am sure some of us will be there - how many people and how many dogs is always the question and more often than not decided at the last moment. Of course, I will make my potato salad and brownies!

Johanna, Dakota might be available for camping - but she can be a bigger baby than anyone - Ever see a black and white Great Dane try to hide behind a one year old? Her size is impressive though and her bark even more so - so she can be a good deterrant by looks if nothing else! My Pippi (my smallest before Tucker) can be scarier. She barks and runs at whatever scares her. Most don't know she will run the other way if they stop and look at her so she works pretty effectively too. I think Amy would let you borrow one of hers so I can give you a choice of any number up to 12 (although Tucker is not very convincing as a guard dog).

[Cinder & Smoke]

a) I was kind of surprised to see this already up and going but what the hey,

b) Of course, I will make my potato salad and brownies!

a: Hopefully will reduce the "excuses" of "I didn't know" and "We made other plans". :p

b) OH, GOODIE!! (Now I don't have to *ask* before I do the menue.) :D




Dakota ... Her size is impressive though and her bark even more so -

YEAH! :rolleyes: VERY "Impressive"!! :eek:
Especially when you're coming into their house to Dawg Sit ...
And that B&W mini-HORSE meets you at the front door with her eyes almost level with yours,
and saying "You don't BELONG in here!"

[Grace]

Calendar is marked. We've never attended before, we don't have a dog, and our 6 cats have no intention of coming, but we will be there http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/March16th/klink.gif

Dougie Darling loves dogs of all shapes and sizes - and I mentioned we could borrow one for an hour or so. He's ready http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/March16th/driver.gif

[k9krazee]

I'm 75% sure I'll be attending!

Who on earth could you be talking about Phred?? :o

I'll know if I'll be able to come when we get a little closer.
(nephew's B-day is always celebrated that weekend, and I'll be pushing for a Saturday or Monday party!!)

[RobiLee]

If I'm able I will be there. I love the dog park meetings! This year I think I will be bringing Miss Katie with me also. I just can't bear to leave my sweet big girl at home. Since there are a few that are coming without dogs maybe I can get one of them to keep an eye on Miss Tori while she does her usual roaming around the dog park.

Uh oh, I forgot about the grandfurbabies. I know Sammi absolutely loved it there last time. It will be a first for Stella. I'm not for sure what she would think of the whole thing. Hmm, maybe I can get the skinkids to come along with me this year.

Like I said I'll be there if I'm able to :)

[Taz_Zoee]

I wish I lived closer!!! But I'm about 2300 miles away. And I wouldn't want to fly Zoee over there, so driving would take 34 hours (non-stop).
Maybe one of these times I will just come. You guys do it again for Labor Day, don't you? I want to take a road trip anyway and we could schedule it around one of the meetings.

Have fun!! I can't wait to see all the pictures. :D

[anna_66]

We're planning on being there:)

[lizbud]

We're planning on being there:)



We plan on it too. :)The pups missed last year, so they have to catch up.

[wolf_Q]

So...anyone want to swing on by Utah and pick me up on your way? :p I'm just a few states out of the way. ;)

[Cinder & Smoke]

So ... anyone want to swing on by Utah and pick me up on your way? :p

Have you considered Hitch-Hikin??

I'll bet you and the Pups could catch a ride in a *blink*!

DAD might not think too much of the idea, though.

Maybe ride over with Tubby & Peanut's Tribe ... can Nebo & Keva handle riding
wiffa Kat Kids in the Big Bus?
There might be a lil "detour" through Chicago on the way over or back ... but it'd be a Nice Ride!

:D

[cassiesmom]

:D
If you're detouring through the Windy City ... There's a nice off-leash dog park in Oakbrook, which is west of Chicago -- it's on Illinois 83 at 31st Street, at the Mayslake Forest Preserve. I have a friend at church who takes her dogs there. There's also Wiggly Field ... which is near Wrigley Field at Sheffield south of Diversey in Chicago. (The official name for the park is Noethling Playlot.)

:D

How many dogs show up for this event. I'm thinking about getting some special doggie treats http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/March16th/dogbone.gif to bring, and want to know how many to plan for.

Dawg count?

Somewhere between 25 and 50 - depending on the weather.
Keep an eye on this thread about 2 weeks before the Bash on Memorial Day Sunday -
that's when folks start to get serious about attending.

"Special Dawggie Treets" are always enjoyed - but most of the Gobblers hardly
take time to 'taste' anything - they just <grab> & <gulp> then rush back into line
to <grab> another one. Smaller *Byte Sized* treets are easier to <gulp> fast!

:D

[Grace]

Thanks, Phred, for the info. Guess I'll just buy a big bag of small http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/March16th/dogbone.gif and let them at it!!

[Karen]

It's the sure way to popularity at the Dog Park, that's for sure! ;)

[Kfamr]

I'm hoping to make it this year, if I can find someone to tag along. I'd like to bring 3 dogs, but who knows. :)

[Cataholic]

My sister, Judy, said she *might* come campin' with us, and bring her chocolate lab, Ben!!

[slick]

OK, I'm just going to put this out there and see what response I get.

I was at my local BCAA today and picked up a map of Ohio and spoke to them about flights. I can get a return flight to Dayton for only $505.00 (incl. all taxes) which is pretty cheap in comparison to what I am finding myself online. I'm still not sure about transportation and accommodation but that will come later. I'm totally up to renting a car and staying in hotel.

I have to weigh how important this is to me because it's alot of money to spend for just one day. However, if I could somehow spark a "mini-gathering" on the Monday with one or two or a few PTers, it would be so worth it. How about it? At this point I'm not sure where and I absolutely respect that some of you are several hours drive away so I'll understand if this is not possible, but I have my hopes up.:)

Thoughts???

[shais_mom]

you know I'm up for whatever I can do that doesn't interfere with my work schedule! ;) and that could even be slightly flexible if needed.

((hugs))

[Karen]

Maybe Monday morning ... but then after that we have a long drive home. We drive all day Saturday and stay that night and then stay Sunday night.

:eek:
FIVE HUNDRED to fly in, another $100 to sleep, who knows how much for a rent-a-bus,
PLUS some meals ... YUPPERz, that's an EXPENSIVE Pic-Nik! >gasp <

Things to consider:

* It's OHIO - it could be *S*N*O*W*I*N*G* or raining Buckets - or *NICE*
* A FEW will camp out in rent-a-beds Sunday night - me & the Mutts, for sure
* MAYBE include: Karen & Paul; MAYBE Joh & Jonah; ??? Pat & JoJoe & the Huskies ???,
Debbie & Terry & the KATS, others ???
* A few live close / semi-close: Diana, Christy, Carrie, Amy, Staci ...

IF there's enough desire - we could see if any of the Pavilions are still available for MONDAY -
There is an ENCLOSED Pavilion across the road near the Primitive Camping area -
dunno if it's "heated" - but it does have a fireplace inside. Also not sure about "dawgs" being
allowed inside ??? I'd have to check.

Also, there are "several" Pet Talkers living within a comfortable driving distance from
Findlay who have NEVER :( attended a Gathurin ... Momorial Day Weekend would be
a GREAT time to attend your FIRST PT Gathurin! :)

Can we do sumpin on MONDAY - SURE!!

:D

[mugsy]

I may come this year...I'll have to wait and see how my money situation is. I also would probably only bring 1 or 2 dogs since I'll be by myself and don't want to try and control all 6 of them...at least I hope to be back to six at that time!

You guys will have to learn my new name too! Well, maybe not quite yet, but... :p

[ramanth]

I think we'll be able to make it down. And since a good friend of ours lives in Findlay, I might be able to convince Andy to spend the night (depending on work schedules). ;) :D

It'd be great to meet you Slick and to see you again Molly! :)

a new first name?
((hugs)) ;)

[RobiLee]

I'm here at Brandon's and was asking him if he was going to go with me this year and bring Sammi and Stella. He reminded me that for the past two years we have done the nascar race at Charlotte. So if we go this year than I won't be able to make it to the dog park.

[mugsy]

a new first name?
((hugs)) ;)


Mike left the week after Thanksgiving and took Tigger (went to the Bridge Dec 14), George, and Billy with him (will probably be getting them back in a couple of weeks). I will be seeing my lawyer tomorrow (Monday) to make necessary arrangements and one of those is taking back my maiden name which is Quinn...I'll actually sound like the Irish lass I am! ;)

Anyway, I will see what I can work out. Maybe I'll bring my friend Carleen with her dog Ewok!

[lizbud]

Sorry to hear about Tigger. :( It sounds like a lot has changed for you.
Are you still working rescue/transport for animals ?

[mugsy]

Thanks Liz. It is difficult. Tonight wasn't good. Mike is now saying I won't get Billy and George back. He's mad at me...this pretty much sucks!

Anyway, I am still setting up transports and still drive once in awhile. I am now working with Shelby County, KY's shelter. James, the ACO, is wonderful and loves the animals. Rescue is my passion...that won't ever change.

Thanks again for caring!

I'm hoping that I will be able to make it this year.

[shais_mom]

**big hugs from across the miles Molly**

[ramanth]

Lots of hugs for you Molly. So sorry to hear about Tigs. Chipper reminds me so much of him.

[cyber-sibes]

* MAYBE Pat & JoJoe & the Huskies ???,
:D Thanks for thinking of us. I've been reluctant to comment here yet. I don't think we'll be back for the picnic, but I haven't given up hoping for it just yet. Going 750 miles with two dogs, I need to break it up into two days travel with an overnight stop each way. And I'm not so sure Jack would be welcome. :( I'd have to keep him on a leash while any dogs Beagle-size or smaller were there. There's usually quite a few.
I've thought about it, though. I'd still love to be able to dedicate a Memorial Tree for Sherman & Bowser while all the PTers were there... we'll just have to wait & see as it gets closer.

Why'd ya move so FARR Away? :(

750 Miles and 12.5 hours of driving IS a LOOOONG way!
We need to find you a Pet Talk Pit Stop around the center of Pennsylvania -
'bout State College or so.

We'll cross our paws that you'll figure out a way to be there.
;)

[pitc9]

{{{Hugs}}} to you Molly, I hope to see you again.

Pat, it's understandable not wanting to make that kind of drive!

So far so good, looks like Sierra and I will be there!

[mugsy]

Thanks for all the good wishes! I will try to make it...I promise. It depends on how much money I have. This divorce, while cheap by most standards, is going to kill me! :rolleyes: I know I won't be able to be a diehard because I'll have to get back to the dogs.

[RobiLee]

I'm trying to convince Brandon that we need to do another race this year instead of the one that is on this day. I really really want to make it to this get together!

[shais_mom]

There are so many other races - say "Don't you want to someplace new this year?" Tell him I'll make a special NASCAR car-shaped cookie just for him if he'll change the race-date ...

[Cincy'sMom]

I'm trying to convince Brandon that we need to do another race this year instead of the one that is on this day. I really really want to make it to this get together!

I think we should take a group road trip to the night race in Chigaco in July.

:( What a sad week this has been. But just think of all the happy healthy pups lined up to watch over the PT pic-nic from the Rainbow Bridge- Bowser, Sherman, Shadow, & Snoopy... Phred, I think you may feel some taps from invisible paws asking for treats. :eek: :)

[joycenalex]

alex and i could never come. he couldn't get many of the required shots, and he got rolled over by other dogs at the local parks, however princess pretty paws is more alpha and social, and i'll make sure she's got the necessary papers. she can, will, and does bark at men,(apparently something happened to her before we got her,) so any guys have to bribe her with cookies. a hardship i know :) . i make a good cole slaw and baked beans. i've written it on my calendar. see you then.

[RobiLee]

While I hate the circumstances of why this is going to happen I am also so happy that you are planning to come. I can't wait to see you and Peanut!

Do you think the warden would notice if I brought my extra large, ~16h black and white "dog" to Findlay? :p She's definitely a cookie hound! Can sniff out treats (and take a bow) with the best of them!


I'd love to be there for a Memorial Day get together but doesn't look like it will be this year. You guys have tons of fun!!

There's no sign saying "no equines allowed" and we have seen horses in the park area ... bring her on up!

[cyber-sibes]

FYI: There's a horse trail that runs right past the dogpark - you actually pass it on your drive in- right across from the stop sign!

So, Whas'sa problemo?

No worries about the cost of a plane ride -
Just toss a sack of grain in a saddle bag, pack a toofie brush, blankie roll,
an maybe an extra set of iron shoes an a couple nails -
then point her N-East.

We'll **MISS** Ya! :(

YIPPEEE!!
I get to pass the beans onto someone else!!

Joyce, I've been on bean duty the past few times and I don't even LIKE beans!
I always sent the left overs home with Phred!!

Hey Phred, did you hear that!?
No more unopened cans of beans for you to take home! :p

[anna_66]

Joyce, I'm glad you'll be able to come with Peanut. I'm sure she'll enjoy herself.

Zip, sorry you won't be able to come this year. We'll miss ya!

So Karen, how about it? You gonna come?? Please!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Hey Phred, did you hear that!?
No more unopened cans of beans for you to take home! :p

Awww, NUTZ! :(

You make GOOD Beans!

[Grace]

Will there be a sign-up list for food? Are there specific items needed, or does everyone pretty much just bring a dish to pass or munchies?

[ramanth]

I was wondering about the dish to pass sign up sheet too, but figured it'd come closer to the date. :D

Joyce, it'll be nice to meet you and Peanut. :)

What are the hotels of choice in the Findlay area? Or I guess I should ask, which take pets? ;)

[Karen]

I was wondering about the dish to pass sign up sheet too, but figured it'd come closer to the date. :D

Joyce, it'll be nice to meet you and Alex. :)

What are the hotels of choice in the Findlay area?

There are a ton of big chain hotels in Findlay. We often stay at the TownPlace Suites, which is a Marriot brand, but there are other hotels right there on Tiffin Avenue, as it is pretty close to the Dog Park. Miss Hoppy always stays home to guard the house, though, so we don't know their pet policy.

[wolf_Q]

I'm jealous, I wish I could go! There's a decent chance I'll be there for Labor Day though. :)

[Cinder & Smoke]

http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif
Once again I seem to have managed to *tweek off* the Multitudes ...
*Complaints & Suggestions* are pouring in regarding the inclusion of Past Dishes
on this year's ~MENUE~. http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif

A typical note:

"Could you not list the dishes that people have brought before?
It makes people feel as though they HAVE to bring something off that list."

OK ... I COULD "not list the Past Dishes" ...
But I DO list 'em in order to try and answer the frequently asked questions:

* WHAT should I bring
* WHAT do you NEED

NOTICE!!

The inclusion of Past Dishes in The MENUE -
is NOT, and never has been -
a demand, suggestion, hint, nor pleading to ANY Pik-Nik-ers that
they have to nor should bring something on the "list".

Feel Most FREE to use you imaginations and/or personal desires when choosing
what you wish to contribute to the food offerings ...
If YOU like it (and can cook it or steal it) - bring it. I'll try almost ANYthing!

Stuff we've never had >>> (probably for good reasons http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif )
** Alaskan Salmon
** Maine Lobsters
** T-bone Steaks
** Lobster Salad
** Pizza
** Roast Turkey & Stuffing
** Bucket o' Klamz --- NO, I WON'T try them!
** Ice Cream Cones

If "Your Dish" isn't on the MENUE - ADD IT IN!!

http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/smile.gif

[lizbud]

What,,,,,,,, no Klamz? :eek: Oh nuts. :p :p

[anna_66]

Phred I see Lobster Salad and Pizza...how about Lobster Pizza?! We have that at my work:D Oh, on second thought I don't think it'd warm up too good;)
I personally appreciate you posting the menu. I know we don't HAVE to bring what you have on it...I'd think that would be common sense:o

[Grace]

Phred - could I share some of the Kitchen Suppliez & STUFF with you?

I can get some stuff at CostCo.

[Cinder & Smoke]

... how about Lobster Pizza?!
We have that at my work http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/eek.gif
Lobster Pizza??? http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif
Let's LEAVE it at your work!

And *skip* the Klam Sauce, too!




Could I share some of the Kitchen Suppliez & STUFF with you?

Thanks for the kind offer, Grace - But it's just easier if I do it myself ...
Been doin it so long, I keep "extras" on hand all the time ...
The hard part is to not forget anything when I'm packing the coolers!

And since the Gathurin hardly puts a dent in anything, I just toss it all in my fridge
when we get home and use it till it's gone. No fuss, no bother, and little expense.

Just pick a Favorite Dish and bring that - we all like *Mystery Dishes*!

http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/smile.gif

[Grace]

I did sign up for one dish, and planned another, but someone else got there first. I'll figure out something else.

One other thing - I asked Shais Mom about borrowing a dog as we are dogless. We can bring references.

[Cinder & Smoke]

I asked Shais Mom about borrowing a dog as we are dogless.
We can bring references.

We can *make a deal*! ;)

I've got two - who really don't like to be split up!
And they're WELL known to raise a royal **phuss** when "abandoned" by Dad
whilst he assists Chef LeCarl with the cooking chores ...

They're YOURS!

:D

One for each of us - you have a deal!! I'll bring some special treats just for them, along with a big bag for all the others.

[Karen]

Heck, Grace, we always are dogless when we arrive, but are never without doggie friends while we are there! One year, one of Mugsy's girls stuck by me so close we joked that if the ranger came to ask, I was going to have a hard time denying Shayna as being mine! She was such a sweetie, I didn't mind one bit.

[Cincy'sMom]

Lobster Pizza??? http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif
Let's LEAVE it at your work!



Where is your sense of adventure? Red Lobster's pizza is great!! ( and like all pizza, it is good cold too!!!)

[RobiLee]

Where is your sense of adventure? Red Lobster's pizza is great!! ( and like all pizza, it is good cold too!!!)


Oh man! You guys are bad! Now I want RL Pizza!

[anna_66]

Grace, if Phred's two aren't enough I'll have three this year...I'm sure one of them would be more than happy to be "yours" for the day:D

And Phred, Lobster Pizza is AWESOME...you don't know what your missing!

[RobiLee]

I did sign up for one dish, and planned another, but someone else got there first. I'll figure out something else.

One other thing - I asked Shais Mom about borrowing a dog as we are dogless. We can bring references.

Grace, I'll have two dogs with me. Zack and Tori. You are more than welcome to share mine with me :D

[Grace]

Anna_66 and RobiLee - thank you both for the privilege of sharing your dogs. I've seen the pictures, and cannot wait to meet them all.

As for the Lobster Pizza - count me in!!

[Cincy'sMom]

We have gift cards from Christmas for Red Lobster...before the week is out, I may just have to get me a pizza :p

[mugsy]

My presence is still questionable. Depends on the cash flow for gas money. I also don't know who to bring! Mine are all so packish now they don't like other dogs! If I do come, I will bring Shawna...just for Karen, but, I don't know who else. I also won't stay long, it's a 2 hour drive and the dogs will be alone here at home.

[Cinder & Smoke]

(Lobster Pizza ?)
Where is your sense of adventure?
Red Lobster's pizza is great!! ( and like all pizza, it is good cold too!!!)

:eek:
:p

My *sense of adventure* does NOT include dead phish on dough - Hot or Cold! :p

"Pizza" is supposed to be HOT wiff >>>
* 'Mater sauce
* Pepperoni
* Sausage
* Bacon Bitz
* MILD Peppurz
* and NO dead phish :p

"Phish" are good on Friday's, deep fried, and wiff lotsa Tartar Sauce!

;)

[Cincy'sMom]

One of my favorite pizza's used to be a local place in Findlay, Rocking U...thin crust pizza with shrimp and mushrooms....the best!!!

Fish on pizza...no, but other seafood on pizza....you are missing out!!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

... thin crust pizza with shrimp and mushrooms ... the best!!!

Fish on pizza ... no,
but other seafood on pizza ... you are missing out!!!

Sorrie ...
but Phish is Phish ~~~ Iffin it *swims* ~~~ It must be a Phish!

"SEAfood" ?? :confused:
Never thought the stuff was "food". :p

SHRIMP + MUSHrooms ??
>gasp>

:D

[Grace]

I agree with Cinci's Mom - you are missing out. As for
Iffin it *swims* ~~~ It must be a Phish!

Does that apply to all the dogs that swim? And what about the hoomans who swim? We must all be http://bestsmileys.com/fish/14.gif

[Cinder & Smoke]

:D

[zippy-kat]

* MILD Peppurz


Pfft! Amateur!!!!

[cassiesmom]

we all like *Mystery Dishes*!

Hey, Phred, that is mostly what I know how to cook and I don't mean that in a good way :eek:

I hope I will get to come -- I'll be another "dogless" -- and I will try to think of something that will travel very well, i.e., not from my kitchen!

[pitc9]

My hubby likes Seafood Pizza! :eek:
He's the same one that eats tomato and peanut butter sandwiches.
:eek: :eek:

[Cinder & Smoke]

(* MILD Peppurs)

Pfft! Amateur!!!!

Yuppers ... and I can still feel my tongue when I finish!
:p




(SEAfood Pizza ...)
He's the same one that eats tomato and peanut butter sandwiches.
:eek: :eek:

Well, one outta two isn't so bad.
T&PB sammich ... Yummie wiffa lil bit of Mayo!
;)

[Grace]

If we keep talking about food, we're going to have to start the picnic early - like this weekend!

[Husky_mom]

I´m not saying I´m going..... yet.... but I don´t want to get my hopes high.... I sooooo wanna go, but need to check the piggy bank first... and wait see if hubby doesn´t changes plans last minute... as always :rolleyes:

but.... if planning a flight where to should I plan it?.... I mean where´s the nearest airport?....

thanks ;)

[Cincy'sMom]

Nearest airport is Toledo....but that may be pricey!

Not too bad of a drive if you try Detroit, Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati or Cleveland.



PB and Tomato....hmmmmm
Never tried it, but I love PB sandwichs with my chili so it isn't that far off!

[Cinder & Smoke]

... If planning a flight, where to should I plan it? ...
I mean where´s the nearest airport? ...

Which AIRPORT depends upon where you'll be staying AND where the cheaper flights will
agree to land .... heck, there's a lil "airport" right in Findlay - but none of the Big Guy
airlines will land there.

Closest "major" ports are "Toledo" (TDZ) and "Toledo Express" (TOL) airports.

Next out is Port Columbus International (CMH) about 1.5 hours from Findlay.
Another is Dayton International (DAY) - possibly a little closer to Findlay than Columbus.

A "regional" airport that advetises heavily is "Akron/Canton Regional" (CAK) - located between
Akron and Canton - connects to a lot of larger airports; but it's 2+ Hours from Findlay.

Farthest out is probably Cleveland Hopkins International (CLE) - a little south-west
of the City, which is on Lake Erie.

I'd pick the destination airport based upon cheapness of the ticket - try Columbus, Toledo and
Dayton as the prime choices for pricing. Refer to MapQuest for maps of the area ... use >>>
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?country=US&addtohistory=&formtype=address&searchtype=address&cat=&address=Township%20Road%20207%20%26%20Township%20R oad%20208&city=Findlay&state=OH&zipcode=45840

to get a zoomed-in view of the Dog Park location (1/4 mile north of the *star*) --- then
zoom OUT to pick up the larger cities.

And don't forget to check on the need for a Passport to get into the good ole USA ...
the welcome mat has some fine print on it now.

Lastly ...
Are you SURE it's *worth it*?? ... It's a LOOONG way to go, at considerable $$$ expense,
for a 6-7 hour "picnic"! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/tongue.gif

"But we'll Leave the Light On!"
:D

[k9krazee]

All this talk of food -- it's making me hungry!!

I'm thinking no bake cookies or puppy chow again...or maybe fruit salad? Or or...what about fruit pizza? Sounds way better than seafood pizza. :p

[shais_mom]

mmmm fruit pizza! :D

[shais_mom]

** Bucket o' Klamz --- NO, I WON'T try them!


http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/smile.gif
well I won't eat the bucket o klams either but the Olive Garden has Mussels in white wine and garlic butter that is to die for!

[Cinder & Smoke]

The Olive Garden has Mussels in white wine and garlic butter that is to die for!

:eek: >gasp<

I prolly WOULD *die*!

"Mussels" sounds just as gross as KLAMz! :p

I'll just grill up a PeanButter & Jellie; maybe slip in a 'Mater slice anna dab of Mayo ...
now THAT's a sammich! :D

Whatever happened to the good ole "green beans, pototoes and keilbasa sausage" dish?
THAT didn't need any parsley!
:cool:

[pitc9]

but.... if planning a flight where to should I plan it?.... I mean where´s the nearest airport?....

thanks ;)

I drive RIGHT past Cleveland Hopkins airport (CLE) on my way to the dog park!! ;)

I'll send you a PM!

[zippy-kat]

THAT didn't need any parsley!
:cool:


Better watch out... someone at the RB is gettin' ready to *THUMPZ* you! :eek:

I'm not so sure about seafood pizza but fruit pizza sounds WONDERFUL.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Better watch out... someone at the RB is gettin' ready to *THUMPZ* you! :eek:

I'm not so sure about seafood pizza but fruit pizza sounds WONDERFUL.

HEY! No *THUMPIN*!

Since the GB + Taters + Sausage dish doesn't need the Parsley ---
that's all the more greens for the lil Black Wabbitt at the Bridge ...
I just hope her Parsley isn't contaminated wiff KLAM Juze. :eek:

FRUIT Piza :confused:

Just WHAT does one FIND on a Fruit Pizza?
Served Hot, Cold, or in-between?

[Cincy'sMom]

Just WHAT does one FIND on a Fruit Pizza?

All in ONE room? And how many DAWGS??

Gonna be *chummie* in there! :p :D

So, WHERE ya stayin?
Are they charging *extra* for the 4-Leggers, or didn't you ask?

We haven't made our reservation yet - but might return to the Rent-a-Bed in
Fostoria that we used on Labor Day, '07. It was FAR from *phansee*,
but it was pretty clean and CHEAP!

Monday ~

So, do we plan on a Second Gathurin for Monday?
I'll check with the Park Office tomorrow to see if we can reserve Pavilion #7
for Monday, too.

We're staying at the Rodeway Inn in Findlay. They charge $10 a pet.

Econolodge had a 35 lb. pet limit which Sasha is easily 3 x's over. :eek: ;) :p :D

Quality Inn and Red Roof Inn had a 2 pet per room policy and Towneplace Suites did allow pets but it would of been $119 a night plus a $75 pet fee.

I think we'll have 4 pups with us, 5 if Ashley brings 2. :D

[lbaker]

I'm at the RedRoof with two double beds and they allow dawgs for only $10 extra deposit. So far it's me.. maybe my DIL Jenny and if so we will have two of our dawgs but if not with Jenny it's me and I will hang with Mark, Bon, Liz, Staci and KlamJuz and all the extras. hahahahaha.... Phred, iffin I bring a bucket o' clams on ice to put on the grill don't hate me. No one will force feed you silly man.

Townplace Suites = $75.00 pet fee? >GASP< :eek:

Hmmmm ... Rodeway Inn in Findlay ...
http://www.rodewayinn.com/ires/en-US/html/HotelInfo?hotel=OH174&amp;promo=gglocal

They've got pretty good Room Rates!
Good Deal till I add up the $10 "Pet Charge" - per FurKid + per night = :eek:

Does the "Pet Charge" include Pool Privilages for the 4-Leggers? :p

I guess we'll be sleepin in Fostoria at the cheep joint!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Phred, iffin I bring a bucket o' clams on ice to put on the grill don't hate me.

:eek:
:rolleyes:

Will they *stink*?

You can "cook" 'em on the OTHER grill.

:p

[ramanth]

Well, when you take a room rate and divide by 5, it makes it a little more bearable. ;) :D


Clams! YUM!! :D

[Cinder & Smoke]

:)

Just called the Park Office and "our" Pavilion #7 is available on MONDAY, too! :D

So now we have #7 reserved for both SUNDAY, the 25th for the Main Gathurin;
and again on Memorial Day MONDAY, the 26th for the RE-run.

We'll probably have to kick off the Monday event a lil earlier - some of the 2nd day guests
will need to head back for home before it gets too late in the day.

Now we just need to plan the Sunday NIGHT Partee, and we'll be all set for the weekend!

[klamjuz]

[lbaker]

I'm booked as well but DIL Jenny won't be with me (in spirit yes, physically no) she and son Kenneth will be in Dover DE at NASCAR. So, maybe I can find a co-pilot buddy but iffin not I'm a loner. Phred... I've done 8+ hrs before many times, not to worry gud buddy. Prolly won't bring dawgs so prepare to have a few "loaners" available to gobble my treats (not that I will have to worry about that, I'm sure) :D Checking into hotel Saturday afternoon and checking in with KlamJuz and calling Stac and a few others for whatever time to meet at the DawgPark Sunday. All systems go ~ YEEEHAAAAA!!!!! :cool: Hope there's a nice restaurant or so for dinner Sat. night in town. Guy at the RedRoof said the town is only "so small" the Park is about a mile away. Zippy, can you and your big black & white "critter" really not figger it out? :confused: :(

[Cincy'sMom]

I'm booked as well but DIL Jenny won't be with me (in spirit yes, physically no) she and son Kenneth will be in Dover DE at NASCAR. (

Aren't they racing in Charlotte that weekend?

There are several nice restaraunts in Findlay. I'm sure Staci can recommend several, or feel free to PM me for ideas as well.

[ramanth]

I'll offer my Sirius boom Box. Nascar Channel 128 :)

[lbaker]

Jenny became confused (don't we all :rolleyes: ) between Memorial Day "(Observed) and the "real one" May 30. Sooooo, she and two of our mutts may be showing up after all. It's difficult for her to plan any fur shur plans this far ahead.... ain't nothin' but a thang ;)

[zippy-kat]

Zippy, can you and your big black & white "critter" really not figger it out? :confused: :(

:( I wish we could. I'd love to be there.

Hey, wanna leave a lil' early and swing *down* to TX on your way *over* to Ohio? :p I'm going to be participating in the APHA's "Saddle Up for St. Jude" trail ride. It's May 3rd in Benbrook, TX (outside of Ft Worth) -- trail's 10mi long -- and all $ goes to St. Jude. (I'll be using a loaner horse this go 'round as I still don't have a horse trailer. Aw well, maybe Summer can go next year.)

Rent-a-Horse ??

I dint know Hertz had a Rent-a-Horse division! ;)

Any chance you could borrow a trailer and then Ride yur Own?
Or talk someone with a two-horse rig into going along on the ride.

If you take Miz Mare along for the ride - you won't have to put up with
a *pouty* horse when you get back!

:D

[Cataholic]

Jonah and I will be coming up this time. Not sure how a nearly 4 year old will do, but, it is either bring him along, or not come at all. :p

[Cinder & Smoke]

Jonah and I will be coming up this time.
Not sure how a nearly 4 year old will do ... :p

We've entertained smaller ones ... the Dawgs make good "sitters"! :D

So ... are you two ~
* Tenting it
* Doing the Rent-a-Bed thing
* or Commuting

:confused:

[shais_mom]

not for sure if it was there the last time you were there but there is a HUGE playground on the other side of the parking lot now - I bet that's where the almost 4 year old will want to be as soon as he spies it!

[Kfamr]

So many are coming that I've wanted to meet or see again. :( I've been trying but I doubt I'd be able to find a way up!

I'm sorry you won't be able to come Molly. You'll be missed!
:(

[lbaker]

You know I've been trying to meet up with you in person for ever so long :( Well, maybe next time. So my friends... which page (I'm at the library and only have so long on the 'puter for free) can I find the "Rules & Regulations" for bringing dawgs (assuming Jenny comes with). I know I could search the previous pages but I'm looking into some work opportunities and can't PT search as much as I would like. I can find directions from the RedRoof to the park with no real problem but want to have all my "Ducks/Dogs in a Row" when I arrive. Sorry to be a dork. :o

[Ginger's Mom]

Here you are Laurie, hope this helps.

Yuck, you're kidding, right? :D

[Grace]

Yuck, you're kidding, right? :D

Absolutely not! I was raised in Rhode Island, and clams and the juice are what I miss the most.

[pitc9]

Absolutely not! I was raised in Rhode Island, and clams and the juice are what I miss the most.

Wow... I didn't know that people really drank it! :eek:

[Karen]

Wow... I didn't know that people really drank it! :eek:


Only REAL New Englanders, I guess! I have drank it in the past, mixed with tomato juice it's pretty yummy. Now, with my allergies, I have to be careful about certain categories of food, so I haven't had clams in a while.

I'll make Grace drool:

As a kid, we had a big pot of steamed clams and the big family gathering every July 4th. There was a small pan of butter melting on the fire in the outdoor fireplace, and because my eldest cousin would get a reaction if she actually shelled her own clams, and there were others whose fingers were a bit too arthritic, I'd sit and open a pile of clams for them, and just put the clams in a bowl of the melted butter and hand it, and a fork, over. And at the end, I ate some myself!

Yup http://bestsmileys.com/drooling/1.gif, you got me going with that.

We also did clambakes when I was a kid. Wonderful memories you have brought back. About 10 years ago, on one of our visits to my brother, he took us to a clambake at the Squantum Club in East Providence. Poor Douglas (my husband), he really isn't into that much seafood in one spot, so he mostly had chowder and saltines.

Last fall, I stayed with my brother while attending a reunion. He had a very large container of Little Necks in the refrigerator for me.

Talk about Nirvana . . . . . . .http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v288/March16th/9.gif

Grace, you have a shuckin' "implement of destruction" right? I can keep a bucket o' clams cold in the freezer box in my car I believe... and no Phred... they will be nowhere near a grill that will be cooking up burgers and dogs etc.

I sure do have that implement. I would think clams in a bucket would make it just fine, thank you very much. And for certain, don't let them anywhere near Phred.

I love me some Clam Chowder! :D

[cyber-sibes]

Absolutely not! I was raised in Rhode Island, and clams and the juice are what I miss the most.You were? I'm here in RI now, moved from Findlay last year....and yum yum, clams are cool! I made a big pot of clam chowder the other day with fresh clams. My mom was from Fall River & we did clambakes at our summer family reunions, too - clams are great simmered up with Cherese(sp) (Portugese spicy sausage), oh, heavenly! My favorites were those delicious clams in butter Karen's talking about.

Of course a bucket o'clams would make it - ya gotta soak em in clean water anyways to get the sand out. Ever have clam fights, where you run around with a clam & squirt the juice at each other? :D :D :D

It's nice to be back east in the land o' clams!

I was born in Providence, and lived in Warwick until I went to school. Graduated from R.I. Hospital School of Nursing - it's now closed. Then after a couple of years away, I lived in Middletown, on Aquidneck Avenue, for another 2 years. Moved to Michigan where I've been ever since. My brother is across the bay in East Greenwich.

[cyber-sibes]

Then after a couple of years away, I lived in Middletown, on Aquidneck Avenue, for another 2 years. That's our new home town - we live near the Navy Base, we've got great view of Narragansett Bay from my upstairs windows!
I hope you do make it to the Findlay pic-nic, they are a lot of fun. Always good to see our PT buddies there. :) I hope I can get back for one sometime.

I'm bringing the hot dogs & buns but wanted to know if anyone would
prefer Hot dogs & Brauts or Italian sausage? They all fit in a bun. :)

:)

Note Item #2 is Brauts w/ Cheese & Long Buns (by Phred)

I'll bring plenty (~~20 or so) of the Brauts & Buns - more of those aren't needed.

Italian Sausage just might go over big ... good idea!
:)

Oops. didn't notice that. I'll get the Italian sausage then. :)

[Cataholic]

I can contribute the ONLY thing Jonah will eat- FRUIT SALAD!

Unless that will be too heavy on the salads? Anna- do you want to have me bring a watermelon, and I will use it to house the fruit? Can't have too much watermelon, so, no problem if you want to bring it. I can also just put all the other fruit in a container.

edited to add what I'll bring **i think**

[shais_mom]

its a gloomy and doomy day here in Ohio-
everyone kick up the prayers and sunshine dance that this will be out of the weather's system in 2 weeks! :D
so that we'll need :cool:

[ramanth]

*sunshine dance* :D :love: :cool:

[slick]

Gee, just 12 more sleeps until the big day. You guys must be getting excited. Praying for good weather for you. I'll be there in spirit.

Oh, and speaking about spirits, Vodka and Clamato jooze make a good combination as long as there is a celery stick and lemon wedge. It's my drink of choice. Then again, I'm a Canucklehead! :p

[joycenalex]

i am so looking forward to this. :D. it's gonna be great to meet you all.

[wolf_Q]

I really wish I was going...looking forward to everyones photos! :)

[k9krazee]

11 Days! :d

[pitc9]

i am so looking forward to this. :D. it's gonna be great to meet you all.

Ohhhh that's RIGHT!! I get to meet you FINALLY!
I'll be the one wearing an OSU shirt!! LOL! Or maybe I'll wear my "Go Blow" shirt! ;)

[shais_mom]

sooooo according to www.weather.com its supposed to pretty much RAIN for the next 10 days so now along with the sunshine dance
lets do a NO FLOODING dance!
the dog park is notorious for being in a flood zone - :(

[joycenalex]

[QUOTE=pitc9;2011905]Ohhhh that's RIGHT!! I get to meet you FINALLY!
I'll be the one wearing an OSU shirt!! LOL! ~~~~~~
leseee, ohio, OSU shirt, yeah that will narrow the field...*snark*:p
true story, while i was in las vegas, i kept a running count of the college shirts we saw in the downtown area ...1- USC trojans, 2-OSU buckeyes, and 3-UM wolverines, very unscientific count almost even numbers:p

[pitc9]

Now Joyce... I'm SURE there are better things to do with your time is Vegas! LOL!
:p

Woot Woot.... right now the weather channel says Sunday the 25th is going to be a nice day for a picnic!! Lets keep our paws crossed that the forecast stays that way!!!

[lizbud]

Oh, I really hope it's nice. Driving 200+ miles (one way) in rain is not
something I'd want to do.:(

p.s. I'm bring hot dogs & Italian sausage & buns. I like hot dogs done on a
grill & rarely ever have them at home, so they're a treat for me.:)

I hear ya Liz!
I'm also going to be camping that weekend too! So camping in the rain is no phunn either! :D

As long as I don't take the long short cut I took a few years ago through Norwalk:o the trip is about 160 miles for me!

[klamjuz]

Only a week to go and I'm getting really excited. Judging by the size of car I'm driving, the trunk can't hold much but I'll do my best to contribute something.

Looking forward to seeing you all!!!:love:

[ramanth]

I think I'm going to have to not eat a few days in advance. :eek: :D
