To those who want to meet up (Vela, Dab_20, anyone else..) but can't go to Strut Your Mutt lets plan on meeting at the pond at Sugarhouse Park at 12:30. Does that sound ok? I was thinking maybe we could have lunch too, I'm not sure how to work that. Maybe I could leave a cooler in my car with some stuff for sandwiches. Any ideas?
I may be coming to strutt your mutt now. My mom and aunt are trying to convince me to go, it would just be a great time and probably be good socialization for Molli. She's a very nervous dog around a lot of dogs and people, so now I'm nervous as to how she'll react! She's always great around people we meet on our walks but I honestly don't know how she'll be there. If anyone would like my cell phone number, please pm me. :)
Amy, maybe we could divide what we should bring between a few people? Maybe one person brings sandwhiches, one soda, and one person chips/snacks? We could always bring a few blankets to sit on our something.
That's great, I hope you come! :) Nebo doesn't always get along well with other dogs, and Keva has never been to anything like this so I'm not sure how well my two will be either, so you're not the only one. ;) At least you can pick up Molly and hold her if you need to.
That would be great if we could divide up lunch items. I think there's some nice picnic areas with shade too. I'm not 100% sure there's tables, I can't remember, so bringing some blankets would be a good idea.
Well, I suppose we just hope for the best.Quote:

I'm SO glad you're coming, Danielle!
As long as Amy shows us where a Wal-Mart or grocery store is, we can bring some chips or something.
Here, lets make a menu...
Add what you're bringing.
Main Dish ~
Sandwhiches/supplies to make them (wolf_Q)
Side ~
Chips (Kfamr)
Desserts ~
Cookies?
Drinks ~
?
Plates, Napkins, etc ~
?
I can bring plates and napkins. :)
Does my mom have to register to be able to come to the picnic?
I could swear there are picnic tables somewhere in the trees by the river...not by the pond, but its been a year since I've been there so I really don't remember. We'll figure something out.
Kay we can all stop at a store the night before and pick up stuff, there's certainly no lack of wal-marts around here lol. I just need to remember to get a cooler and hope it stays cool enough in the car until then.
Danielle, no your mom won't have to register, its just the area with the booths that they check your wristband to get in, anyone can go to the park without registering. By the time we have a picnic it will be pretty much over anyway.
Hm.. would it be easier if we all went to a Subway or something and ordered our own sandwhiches, chips, etc? That way we don't have to worry about tempatures of foods, what types of meat everyone likes, etc.
That's not a bad idea Kay. I can either bring picnic items or help with subway stuff if yall need. How do we want to work it? I'm definitely down for the picnic, they just wont let Soda into Strut your Mutt because she won't be 4 months yet. I will PM you all my cell phone number if you need/want to call to set things up! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! And I'm bringing my camera! (If I don't forget).
I can pick up cookies or desserts, or help out with picking up food while there. :)
I just found out I got a sub, so I am coming for sure! :D
My husband wants to come, too, so we are going to leave on Friday afternoon after he gets off work, and won't get there till late. So, we would like to meet you at Strut Your Mutt. Is there a good place to do so?
Also, Eric may not walk with us as Adele and Vallis (we will be bringing all three along now) are not at ease (well Vallis is, but he barks, a lot :rolleyes: ) in large groups of dogs...but maybe he could get the picnic set up. :D
Any suggestions on where is a good spot to meet?
I'm not walking either due to Soda being too young so I'd be happy to help set up the picnic as well and just hang out with anyone else not walking. Maybe we can do a food run or something while everyone else is walking, my husband may come along as well, if he's feeling okay that day.
I just realized Soda has puppy class that day from 11:30-12:30, but I can leave it somewhat early and meet you guys about 12:45 for a picnic. I also have a Subway right here by my house so if some of you want to tell me what you'd like I can pick it up and bring it with me. Just send me a PM or call my cell and let me know. I think I PMd my number to both Kay and Danielle but if anyone else needs it let me know.
What time is the walk due to be over, do you guys know?
Amy is outside with the dogs, but I'll ask her when she comes back in.
We were thinking of maybe we can all pitch in and you can pick up some pizzas instead of trying to figure out what everyone wants from Subway?
Amy said that the event ends sometime around 12:30-ish, we can meet up around 1:00ish.
We drew a map as to where we can meet. :)
Amy thinks there's picnic table somewhere in the trees between the pond and event booths.
Okay that sounds great, then I wont have to miss much of her class either, just swing over and get pizzas and cracker, but petco is 2 minutes from my house and so are either pizza place, 5 minutes.
Pizza places usually open at 11 so that should be good,
Pizza Hut or Dominos?
Lets make a list of who likes what and what sizes everyone wants and I'll get those.
Anyone who is coming, please list what pizza you like and put them up here.
I'll buy all the pizza if some others want to bring drinks, plates, cups, cookies etc?
Either is fine for me - whichever is cheaper.
We estimate around 10 people in our group.
Maybe 2 pepperoni, 1 cheese, 1 supreme?
Here's the "menu" ~ If anyone else wants to add something, feel free...
Main Dish ~
Pizza (Vela)
Others/sides~
Cookies (wolf_Q)
Cookies/desserts (cmayer31)
Drinks ~
Water & sodas (Kfamr)
Plates, Napkins, etc ~
Dab_20
Are we going to meet there before Strut Your Mutt? Should we meet around 9:30?
The picnic sounds like a good idea. I can bring a side dish (a non refrigerated item) like chips or crackers. We might have some time to pick up some salad, too.
Could we also request another vegetarian pizza? Cheese is fine, but my husband and I are vegetarians so that's all we can eat. :D
What about for the pups? I'll try to make some yummy dog treats and bring those along, too. How many dogs are we going to have in all?
The walk begins at 9:15 so we'll have to meet up before that. I think I usually get there around 8:30. If people haven't pre-registered they'll need time to register, plus you have to check in (get your prizes, etc.) I think before the strut we could meet up at the Dog Pack check-in booth. We should all be together after the Strut so I think it's just Vela that will need to find us near the pond then we'll find our way to a picnic table. If we find the picnic tables before that someone could call her and let her know where that is.
Are you staying at the campground Jill? You'll want to give yourself at least 45 minutes to get to the park from there. Dog total...I think 12? (Nebo, Keva, Mufasa, Kiara, Cisco, Frankie, Marta, Adele, Vallis, Cracker, Soda, Molli...did I miss anyone?)
Okay sounds good, I can add a vegetarian on there as well, I also like those.
1 vegetarian
2 pepperoni
1 cheese
1 supreme
If I go to Pizza Hut do you guys prefer pan pizza or a thinner crust? I don't have a preference myself.
Sounds great to have some dog treats too.
I wish the'd let Soda in! =( I'd skip her class and go to the whole thing but I don't want to leave her out, she's my baby! Well, and I can't pick up pizza at 9 a.m. anyway LOL so it works out fine.
Danielle if you and your mom want any other kinds of pizza just let me know, I'm happy to pick up anything else too. That goes for anyone else too who may have a different preference. I can buy medium sized if you want another kind and they often have specials as well.
LOL, I just realized that it ought to be interesting trying to carry pizzas and dogs...can I call you guys when I get there and maybe someone can come help me carry the pizza from the parking? I have Kay's cell number and Danielle's in my phone right now so I can just quick call. I can see cracker going one direction, soda going the other, and me balancing pizza on my head=x
I'm glad to see so many of you coming! :)
I like pepperoni and cheese pizza. What time are ya'll coming to the event?
Myself I'm going to try to show up by about 12:30-1.
We're going to try and get there at 8:30 - Lets meet at the Dog Pack Check-in at 8:30am.
For those not coming to the event, meet at the area on the map at 1:00pm.
Vela,
Amy said they you could try bringing Soda to the event. She said she has seen many young puppies there. I don't think they'd say much, you'll be giving them your money for registration, so I couldn't see them denying you entrance.
So, if you're interested in coming we can always go and pick up pizzas or something afterwards.
Actually, I haven't registered for the event yet, and Eric has thrown a wrench into my plans by wanting to come- we can't leave till after he gets off of work on Friday so maybe I will just meet you all at the map at 1 pm instead...that makes more sense, and I'll bring some salad and chips. I'll get there a bit early so I can help carry the pizzas...I'll pm you my cell phone number, Vela.Quote:

That goes for everyone else, too. Just give me a call and we can meet up whenever.
You've gotta come into the event if you're driving all that way! :p ;)

I would love to be able to attend this event. Amy's picutures of Utah are aways so beautiful and I have been wanting to go forever. I wish I had some vacation days. Wonder how much it would cost to fly out on a friday and flay back home on Sunday. That would probably be too much money for such a short trip. Just dreaming!
Oh, I wish you could come! Salt Lake City is a very expensive place to fly unfortunatly, but you can always get discount tickets. ;) :DQuote:

I feel awful today. :( I've had a very stressful couple of weeks, it was probably long coming. I woke up with headache, and a bad sore throat. If I feel like this tomorrow I don't think I will be coming. I'll let everyone know. I hate getting sick before the weekend, and when I have something fun planned! :mad:
Robin I wish you could come! If you really decide to come let me know and I'll pick you up at the airport. :) You have to get here one of these days!
Vela, we'll see you then! Since you don't have puppy class if you wanted to come to the Strut I'm sure you'd be fine...I've seen puppies there, I doubt they would give you any trouble because Soda is younger (you can always say she's just a runt ;) ).
I think Craig is traveling here today? I hope you make the drive ok, and I hope Frankie is feeling better. Nebo is going to look silly for SYM, he has "swimmers/dead tail" hopefully it will be better by then.
I'm really sorry to hear you may not be coming Jill. :( We were all really looking forward to meeting you. Sometimes I wake up feeling really bad in the morning but it goes away later on in the day. I hope you get feeling better and are able to make it here!
You should come to the event, Vela! you too Robin. :D
Jill, hope you are feeling better and can come, too.
Now I don't know if I can go! I already registered and every thing and my manager didn't give me the day off. :( I might just call in sick if I can't find someone to cover me.
I'm sorry, but I won't be coming. I'm still feeling very sick and I'm afraid I wouldn't be much fun. :( I'm not really up to driving nearly 500 miles like this, even if Eric drives. I'm so sorry, I really wanted to come and meet everyone. Maybe next year.
Well if Danielle isn't coming and Jill and Eric aren't coming we probably don't need so many pizzas. Sorry to hear you still aren't feeling well Jill. I hope you feel better soon. Danielle if you are going to call in sick and come please let me know so I can make sure to bring enough pizza for you and your mom.
I can bring plates and silverware as well, have those on hand already for camping and barbecues. Is there anything else we need?
I got someone to cover for me. So I'll be coming with my cousin. I'll have Molli and my cousin will have JJ, my grandma's dog.
EDIT: Where and when do we meet tomorrow?
Can't wait to hear all about it and see picturesssss!!! :D
It was a lot of fun meeting all of you... I had a great time! I'm sorry about how grumpy Molli was though. Everyone's dogs where so sweet and adorable and of course all of you were fun to talk to! We'll have to do that again sometime soon.
I'm glad you had a good time. I can't wait to see pictures! :D
Pictures, please. PICTURES!!!!!! :)
