Michigan may be do-able for me too. Would love to be able to go somewhere with the pups. Maybe we could search out some pet friendly motels like the kind Jackie was talking about in Palm Springs.

I think a Pet Talk Meeting is a Great idea.
Just waiting till some kind of a plan was
formed..Karen's idea is a good one. A meeting
in the Spring (TX)and another in the midwest
(MI) next summer. Can't make the Spring one
because of cost involved, but the Summer one
in the Mid-west would be do-able.
Don't know about Buddy coming along.He rides well in the car,would be O.K. with
the people, but does bark at dogs he doesn't know...Anyway I think it's a Great idea...
Okay, Texas folks, when would be a good time for the Spring Pet Talk gathering? Ideas, Texas residents? A weekend would be best for us, but you could plan for a longer time if you wanted, and we'd see when folks could be there. Once we decide on a locale, then we can figure out pet-friendly accomodations, etc., right?
And when folks like KayAnn and Simba find out when they'll be in the Mid-West this summer, folks can start planning that one, too.
Well count me in for TX :D maybe BosMom and I can drive w/ someone that needs a ride but I just may fly away....I want to get away...I want to flyyyy awaaay :o sorry, Lenny Kravitz moment...No spring break college nonsense please but anyplace can be good with you guys. Can't bring my dogs..too many, so that limits the time I can be away. But a long weekend or something :confused: will have to spend a few days in North Dallas with my grandson but I can work that in somehow...let's rock and roll :D :D
laurie
So Tx it is?
My spring break is the very last week of March--I'll bet that's earlier than most people?
I am game for anywhere in MI!
Anytime!!!
hey jackie, I would love for it to be in San Diego. My big sis lives there so I def have a place to stay. hey, wouldn't Mission Beach be great for all of us to take our dogs to??
San Diego and the Zoo has my vote :cool:
the only way i could go is if somebody took me.(zippy) :D i'll do anything. :D
Carla, I think we are voted out by Texas this Spring, maybe we could get a west coast meeting together in the fall, that is the best time of year here, beautiful, warm and not many tourists here then.

Here's a Trip Planning Aid I found:
http://www.indo.com/distance/.
Enter two cities in the format of "City, ST" and it calculates the straight line distance; or 'as the crow flies', between the locations you entered. Probably need to add 10% to 20% to account for "driving" distance. On the results page you can ask for "See these places on the map" and it draws a basic map showing both locations. Purdy neat; and rather fast in its operation, too. Even finds the lil rinky-dink towns 'some' of us live in :d.
Cinder, Smokey, and I just might be game for trying to make a Mid-West Pet Talkers Party - if the fambly Trakter Kar can make it that far :rolleyes:. Where's Mishy-gan? :p
Phred, I was just looking for a site exactly like that last night when I was trying to figure out if I should take this one internship or not! THANKS for posting that!!
Glad to be of help, Aly! :D
Well GOOD NIGHT - all this get together talk happend when I was on vacation from work - no computer at home and absolutely none of you mentioned coming to Utah :D :D :D why don't ya'll come here for the Olympics - we'll all get together in Park City and have a great ole time :D :D . Seriously - I'd love to go to Texas for a get together, but I'm afraid that just wouldn't even be feasible financially for me :( at least not this year) - spent the whole wad on my house - it would take a least a year before I could even entertain the thought of going somewhere.
Yes, this year has been pretty harsh financially, what with the economy taking a nose dive which hurt all of silicon valley pretty heavily, then the terrible things on 911. Me getting a 40% paycut and my PTO cut in half doesn't help either. :rolleyes: Funny though, all of the places mentioned would be pretty good for me depending on what time of year it is!! LOL LOL I go to Indiana for 'vacation' a lot as it's my home state, so driving up to MI or IL or OH would be no problem. I also have a sister-in-law living in Austin, TX and I LOVE San Diego!! Right now, I could drive to San Diego no problem, plus I have some friends that live in LA that would go with me :) I'll have to wait and see what happens, but I think all of them are great ideas! :D
Silicon Valley, isn't everybody filthy rich there????HA HAQuote:

What are good spring dates for Texas folk?
Spencer? Aly? When should we try to gather some of the Pet Talk Family?
Ok, this may be one of my *duhm blonde* moments but...
If all (who are traveling) stayed in the same hotel--are we eligible for a group discount?
As long as I know a month or two in advance, I'm pretty sure I can work out almost any time. Hopefully we can all agree on a good time (nervous about this since there's so many of us, I'm afraid some won't be able to come because of a previous committment).
Spencer, when's a good time for you? What about Leah? I wonder if she'd be interested in meeting.
Tonya - We could probably get a group discount rate. I will look up pet friendly hotels for those of us with critters and then call about the discounts. But what city did we decide on? Dallas?
Wow, I can't believe I never saw this! Thanks Aly and Logan! :)
I LOVE the idea of a Pet Talk meeting! It has been a looong time since I was in Dallas. What a beautiful and CLEAN city! I think I can make it, as long as the airfare isn't too steep. :rolleyes: I'll have to check it out. I think I can definitely do an East Coast meeting, but I would love to be able to make it to the Dallas one! :cool:
I only have one request: can we do it on a weekend? :D
This made me think of something....ya'll know how there's clubs for just about everything nowadays? Like my family is a member of the Mopar club out here in CA, and we were a member of the Ford Model A club back in Indiana (car clubs). Being members of the county and state clubs, we would have meetings, and then once a year, there would be a national meeting in a difference place in the US where all the clubs would come together and meet. Is there a such thing as a Pet Club (not counting dog/cat show type things)?? Hey, it's a hobby and a fancy like cars are to some folks. We could plan yearly events and maybe start a trend for state clubs, and maybe a few years from now, have national meets! :D :D :D LOL LOL Hey, it could happen!! LOL LOL Ok, back to reality...Quote:

Sammi, unfortunatly most everyone but me is filthy rich here in Silicon Valley!!! :( LOL LOL If I didn't have the support of hubby's salary...I'd probably be living in a cardboard box...that is if I could afford it!! LOL LOL
:rolleyes: ;) :D
I would love to go any place that you guys decided on. If I can find someone to go with me. My husband would go in a heartbeat if he could get off work.
It would be nice if everyone could stay in the same motel/hotel.
Maybe we could rent the whole place! :D We should get a discount then for sure.
Maybe start a new topic just for everyone to sign up that really plans to go?
