Hmmm ...
Maybe Tyme to rustle up the Menue ... I'll get working in that!
;)
Kim is coming down for sure (as always ;) ). It's yet undecided if I'm going with her or if her boyfriend is going with her.
I think to make sure everything goes alright, you both should come with her. Lol!
I meant to post this when I heard it a few weeks back, but for anyone considering getting a hotel room, if you haven't already, you may want to book soon. There is a softball tourny in Findlay Memorial Day weekend, and lat I heard they were up to 78 teams registered, with many from a good distance away. Rooms may be hard to come by as the date gets closer!

I am wondering if I should bring one of the 3 dogs I am fostering, Jasper. He is about 1 year old, and was just neutered on April 29th. Think that is too soon? A month? I would leave the two pups behind- 8 month old aussie xs. The girl is just too timid for such an occasion, and I wouldn't want to take away the boy, as he brings security and company to her.
What do you all think?

I think a month is great... we waited about two weeks before taking Delta to the park, so a month would be fine I think. :)
Actually, I have to work that Sunday, so it's looking like I might not be able to make it. :(
Andy on the other hand, doesn't have to work, so he could pop down with a dog or two. ;)

I will be thinking of you all! We won't be able to make it this time, but hope everyone takes lots of pictures, and that you all have a great time!
Some of you know I am long term fostering (very long, LOL) two puppies and a dog. I have decided to adopt the dog, and his name is Jasper. I want to bring him with me to the dog park this weekend. He needs more socialization.
The two puppies are, from what we can tell, "his". They are a lot less socialized than Jasper. In fact, the female- Bella spends most of her time hiding if anyone else is around- even Jonah. She has made great strides in the 6 weeks I have had her- great strides. But, she still hides. Rusty, the male, is much better. He is too much of a stinker to stay in the background- LOL.
I wonder if bringing the puppies is such a great idea. I don't think they will really become socialized from one interaction at a dog park, and is the 2.5 hour trip x 2, really 'worth it' to them. Bella would, most likely, stay crouched in a corner. She wouldn't interact with such a large crowd- I can nearly bet my life on it. Taking Rusty and leaving Bella would really seem unfair. I have a hard enough time walking Jasper alone...LOL, Rusty cries and cries. I can't imagine leaving Bella by herself all day.
I can get a neighbor to watch over them- they stay outside all day anyhow as it is right now.
What are other's opinions on this?
Hmm... Well, it's really up to you. I personally, would bring them. You don't have to spend all your time inside the dog park. We have the pavilion outside the dog park and people will stay in there and talk. You can also take a stroll through the park to give her a break. Although... I can understand how hard it is to take care of three dogs out in public! Lol But it's so much fun... and all the pet talk dogs are very sociable... so it would only be good meetings... can't speak much for some of the Findlay residents :) But most of them are good. :) And if you don't like one, you can just go to the pavilion for a bit! :) It's up to you. :)

Bella sounds like she needs some gentle PEOPLE socialization, then some
small-crowd puppy play. Have you looked for a local Dog Park, or even a
Kids' Playground where folks can take well-behaved dogs? Break the Pups
in with a small crowd, then bring 'em on the Fourth of July or Labor Day
to meet The Mob and join The Gang for some fun!
You really want the Pups' first dog park expierence to be a low-stress, FUN
event that they remember as a pleasant time. Cowering in a corner
trying to avoid the rowdy hooligans might not be a good introduction to
the world of dog parks.
Jasper ought to be old enough to hold his own and enjoy the bigger crowd.
No matter if you bring one, two, or three - we'll try to make the Kids feel
welcome!
;)
After more thought, I am going to bypass this weekend. It is going to be too much stress for Jasper (at this stage), with the car sickness, leaving the two pups all day (with my two neighbors both being gone all weekend long, so no real 'watchers' for them), no money, not sleeping cause of Minnie crying all night in the crate.
Just too much for me right now. I hope to make September's trip, though!!
:(
Aww, alright... we hope to see you in September!
We're not going to make it :( Rich is moving into his apartment this weekend on the west coast of Michigan, and it would be a lot of driving for us. And I thought about just coming down by myself but then I wouldn't get to see Rich for another week (it's already been 3!) or help him move in. So it's a loose loose situation.

Hey, what's this with everyone ditching us? We were really excited about seeing Johanna and Noah again and meeting the new dog. Ashley, you know how much we enjoy seeing you and Jackie Loo. Kimmy, what job is worth missing the dog park gathering for? Heidi, we'd love seeing that new baby girl! Just teasing. I understand when things don't work out. My dad died last Memorial Day weekend so I wasn't sure how that would work out with leaving my mom alone but as far as dates go - he died on May 23 which was last weekend and my sister and I spent Saturday fixing up the area around his grave and Sunday planting my mom's yard with flowers so I think I should be good there. Probably will try to run to tiffin sometime during the weekend or maybe next week during an evening.
Looking forward to tomorrow. See you all then!
Hey, we'll be thinking of you all! Have a wonderful time, and say hello to the spirit furkids under the trees for me. Maybe we'll make it back on of these gatherings - would love for you all to meet Jack & Moo in the fur.
And, my mouth started watering reading that list - "cherry pie"- yum yum!:p
I'll be there in spirit. Have a wonderful day. I hope Phred brings his famous Choco Chip Cookies. What I wouldn't give for one right now.
Gosh I would love to attend one of these meetings one of these days!! It sounds/looks like a blast! I hope everyone who is going has safe travels, and a great time!!! I look forward to the pictures!:)
Hope everyone has a good time. Make sure you post lots of pics of the people and pups!
You tell em' Diana;)
We're really going to miss everyone who can't come, but we'll be thinking of you for sure. I'll take lots of pictures to share:D
See everyone in a bit!
