*Gatherings* at Findlay, Ohio, Dog Park for 2005

I don't mind going to Dayton sometime for a Pet Talk meeting but I am a little concerned about the early Spring one being the right time. Jasmine is only a year old and we will have to bring her along if only for awhile. To bring her, Christy, Christy's 3 dogs and some of my dogs might get a little complicated. If it is cold and rainy or snowy, Grandpa may have to babysit and I don't think 4 hours(2 hours each way) of driving plus the time we are there would work very well for him. Jasmine will probably feel fairly comfortable with us by then but I am not sure he or her mother would want him to be alone with her for that long.(plus I thought maybe some would like to see how much Jasmine has grown since they last saw her.) I am not saying you have to have it at Findlay because we don't have to be at every meeting. But I am not sure that we will be able to make it, if it is in Dayton.

We typically have these on Sundays but we could look at the Saturdays - the day before Easter and the 2nd too if that works better for everyone.

Christy is coming on February 27th and will be here through at least April 8.

Amy, I will be out of town April 2nd and 3rd. I'm not for sure how long you and Kay are going to be here but I will do my best to make sure I get to meet you. Even if I can't make it to the dog park get together we can still try and meet up at Anna's or my house.

I hope that we can figure something out so that we can all get together!

Robin :)

Ok most people cannot do Easter and Robin can't do April 2 or 3rd....

How does everyone feel about these dates? ;)

March 26 or 28

April 1, 4, or 10 (not sure if the 10th could work b/c of the time of kay's break...)

Anyone else interested in going/have a date opinion? Ramath, cyber-sibes, pitc9, phred, other regulars (can't remember who all goes!) etc. ?

I'm hoping to be in Ohio sometime like March 22nd to March29th.
That way i'd have time to relax, get things in order, and to have time with you and Nebo before I go back to school.

Since no one has ever been here, how about we make the spring fling in Dayton??? I mean we always do it in Findlay...how about trying a different spot once?

I definately think we need to do a gathering in Dayton. It isn't fair that you guys always drive here...we need to take a turn coming there. If the spring fling is the right time or not I don't know...maybe if Amy and Kay would be in Ohio for both weekends we could do a north and a south :D

We'll only be there for one weekend, as we want time to go to the beach and do stuff down here as well. :)

I sorta thought so, but it was worth a shot :D

I am getting married April 2nd and sometime on the 3rd Sadie will be joining us on our honeymoon trip across the country to Utah. We probably won't be in Ohio at a time for a meeting but since we'll most likely be driving thru Ohio I think Sadie would enjoy a stop at the park.

It's likely we'll be in Ohio April 4th but I really need to start forming solid plans for the trip.

Where in Utah are you headed to?

Cincy'sMom - I'll definitely let you know when we'll be thru Ohio, my guess is April 4 but I will update you if it changes or just remind you cause I'd love to see some Pet Talkers along the way.

Wolf_Q - we are planning on going to Park City or some ski resort for snowboarding (that's how we met :) ) and then we want to travel around to canyons and whatever else there is to see. Any suggestions on where to go? We'd love to meet you and Nebo if we pass near you!

Sabies, do you know about what date you will get into Utah?

I live in the Provo-Orem area....Park City is like an hour or so away. I've never trying snowboarding or skiing (I'm not even sure if that's spelled right! :o ) but I've heard that's a good place to go. Park City is a nice place to shop too...there's a cute little dog boutique downtown. :) You are taking Sadie with you, right? I know of some dog parks in that area I bet she would enjoy, maybe Nebo and I could meet you at one. There's lots of canyons in Utah and they are all beautiful. If you want to visit the southern part of the state there's several national parks that are beautiful as well (Zions, Bryce Canyon, etc.) If you have any questions about Utah just send me a pm.

I guess I'll post here as well as on the "date poll" thread - any date in Findlay is ok (since we live here), and, as long as I have a couple weeks to get my schedule arranged, I'd consider going to Dayton - it's several hours from here, but it depends on the weather and our schedule.

Ohh Diana, I totally understand not wanting to drive all that way with Jasmine. I really never even thought about that:o
I'm sure we could do it some other time down here!

And of course if Amy and Kay wanted to we could always take a trip to Dayton while they are here:)

I'm all for driving towards Dayton in the summer! :)

What about EAST one day?!!? :o LOL!!
Not during Kay and Amy's trip.... just in general!

If we ever had a meeting in Eastern Ohio, maybe we could get some PA people!!!!

just thought I'd throw that in there.... :D :p

We could do that too!! Got a place for us to gather? Maybe you and/or Phred can check out some places for us, and we could try to talk Rachel (CountryWolf), Dixieland Dancer and lovemyshiba (and other Pa people I am forgetting) into joining us!

I apologize to Phred or anyone whom was bothered by Amy and I making another thread. Her and I would like to get our plans set in stone though, and needed to create a poll to see what the majority said. We don't mind if a large amount of people show, but we would like to see some of you there, and would really appreciate it if you did show... Florida is quite a bit away. ;)

:confused:

"Apologize" ??

What for??
You don't need to apologize for asking folks what they
would like to do!

What you need to do is start *SUN* Danzin!! :p
And I'd pack a sweater or two!

;)

What Shift / Hours????

Can't you Bark Park "before" or "after" work??
Then there's always that "Sudden Illness" that
just might pop up! :p
..

Our Dept is so small that if you call in sick on you're weekend you better have you're death certificicate signed and dated!

I work first shift so it is possible that UNLESS my cousin's party is that day I can make it after work. If his party is that day then no I won't be there.

I agree with Amy, I think it's a great idea! Find us a place to meet and we'll be there:D

Question...

Did we ever decide which day we are doing the Memorial Day Bash? Is it still going to be on Sunday as usual, or are we doing it on a Saturday? I just need to know so I can get my work request in early:D

I didn't THINK there was a question...

The Following was posted November 8, 2004, and
again on February 13, 2005 >>>

:D

This year ~ 2005 ~ there will be THREE Major Holidays
being observed on MONDAYS - which make them into THREE-Day weekends.

Memorial Day is observed on Monday, MAY 30, 2005

Fourth of July falls on a Monday, July 4, 2005

Labor Day is observed on Monday, September 5, 2005

We've scheduled the PT Gathurins on the
SUNDAY of these Three-Day Holidays - so our Long Distance Travelers
can do some or all of their driving on Saturday and Monday,
leaving most of the Sunday for *Phunn* & *Phrolik* at the Dawg Park!

We've had our *BIGGEST* attendance on Memorial Day Sundays;
and the next most popular events were on Labor Day Sundays.
I don't think we ever held a Gathurin on the actual Fourth of July
weekend - many folks were busy with "family events".

If we later decide NOT to hold an event over the Fourth of July weekend -
we can always switch to another weekend later.

Soooo...
*** ANNOUNCING ***

SUNDAY, May 29, 2005 ~ (Memorial Day weekend)
SUNDAY, July 3, 2005 ~ (Fourth of July weekend)
SUNDAY, September 4, 2005 ~ (Labor Day weekend)

For me, it is getting crazy just how quickly the month of April and now May is filling up. I wanted to make sure everyone doubled checked and marked their calendars.;)

So who will be there for Memorial Day Sunday? Is there a seperate thread for that yet?

We expect most of the "Findlay Regulars";
and we're all wondering about You & Paul (hence the PM Questions -
which you have skillfully *avoided*!) :p

I'd intended to start a Memorial Day @ Findlay thread soon -
maybe I should hurry that up?

So, as I've asked - can You and Paul make it on SUNDAY, May 29th??
We sure HOPE SO - Lot of folks come to see you two!!

:D
..

Keeg and I will be there but be a bit late b/c I have to work first shift that weekend.
