I am!
I wish I had a way to get Zeke there....I would be there in a minute if I could take Zeke
Actually the other day my mom was telling me that she was sorry for not taking me down there yet. I would only be able to come on a weekend so that my dad can be home to watch the other dogs.
When are you thinking about? I'm free the last weekend of October and the first and third weekends of November. I'm not sure about December yet.
I think if my mom isn't able to come that she'd consider letting me come alone or with a friend (if that's okay with you). When I talked to her about you the other day she said she almost felt like she knew you because of all of the pictures and videos of yours that I've showed her, and because of some things I've told her.
I've heard our 2007 Sales Meeting will be in Miami. I'm not sure yet if I will be invited to go, since I went to California last year and we are supposed to only go every other year, but I'll keep you posted if I may be down your way come February. Usually the meeting starts on Monday night which works well for a few days of visiting PTers over the weekend, as I was able to do in CA last year!
What about January 21st? Will I be freezing my butt off then? Usually November-February we have cold spurts up here, is it any different down there?
On a Lab message board we are trying to arrange a Lab Fest for the 20th in Fort Desoto, so this is why I ask ;)
Okay well it's official that I'll be in Fort Desoto for a Lab Fest on January 20th. So if the 21st works for you or anyone else in that area then I'd love to meet up.
I think since Kiara loves the water like a Lab that you should come to the fest ;) It's going to be at a dog beach and there's also a fenced off dog park there. We're probably going to camp on the grounds. I think we'll probably stay 3 or 4 days at least.
I'm bringing Nova and Buck by the way, and they're always great with other dogs.
Audrey,
Are you being serious!? You should totally come down here. I'd have to kidnap you and take you on our boat and maybe camp on Kiki Island or something.
Sarah,
The lab fest sounds wonderful!
Where are you guys camping - do you know the name of the campground? Maybe my dad would want to haul our pop-up down that way and we could camp to. We're only about a half hour away.
It can be a bit chilly down here in January. Especially if you'll be near the ocean with the sea breezes.
I'd love to come also. :) If everyone else is camping..I'd camp too, I love camping with the dogs. I'm not too far away.
Kay...We need to get together sometime too. We only live what, 45 minutes away from each other? And we've never met. I'd love to meet up at the dog beach or something.
I'm booked to camp from January 19-22 at Fort Desoto park. At the time we booked our site there was only four left for those days that were dog friendly. You can bring two dogs max and need proof of rabies.

If you don't camp it's no biggie, I'd love to just meet up somewhere Sunday. But it would be great if you and areias (sorry I don't know your name :o) both came to camp!
I'm not too worried about the temperatures. I'm sure it will be warmer down there than up here! We're usually in the 20s and 30s that time of year. I talked to the person who's organizing the Lab fest and she said it's usually in the 50s down there. I'm sure I'll be bringing a lot of blankets and jackets though!
I honestly would, if I could get there without flying Zeke...man, I wish I had more time that year I took Zeke there...Quote:

The one I am referring to is the very top one listed, the Florida Classic. I went last year and had a great time. It was only like $4 per car to get in. And, it's also 10 minutes from my house. :D I'm not sure if anyone else can make it but this is the advance notice. :) I plan on going so if anyone wants to join me that would be great.
I saw a whole bunch of different breeds I had never seen before and I also took my dogs as well. It's outside so I took my own chair.
Oh I remember you posting the pictures from this and I was thinking that I wanted to go next year! I'll definetly talk to my dad about it! Thanks!
I found out that our sales meeting is early this year...January 15-19 instead of the last week of February as it was last year. Still don't know if I am going or not, but a friend who works in marketing told me yesterday my name was included on the list at this point. Not sure if that means my boss has approved or if it was just included becuase I went last year....
Anway, if I do go, look like I'll be in the state around the time you are planning on gethering....
Cincy's Mom if you do come down and you are able to meet on the 19th, let me know! I'll be leaving early in the morning on the 19th to drive down there, and I think we'll arrive around noon.
I might be down next year. It would be cool for a meeting them :rolleyes:
