This does mean Hugo and Maggy will be with you also, right? I hope, I hope, I hope!! What a thrill to have some newcomers coming!! Can't wait to meet both you and Sue!
Gosh everyone there will be new to me! lol The only PT person I have met in person in Gina. I can't wait!!!! Oh & Indy's dad & Indy will be with me as well, and of course I'm bringing Kaige! :DQuote:

Oooh Sue, thanks for all of the info. I guess I need to get off my lazy rear and start making plans (I did get the time off approved :) ).
Does anyone know how late people usually stay until?
Sunday night & the next few days I will be staying with my old best friend from high school in Coldwater which is about 1.5 hours from Findlay. I wanted to let her know about what time to expect us.
I'll bring baby Hugo, I don't know about the big one. He's a lot to spring on people we don't know. LOL j/k. Yes, I'll bring both my Hugos and Maggy too. :pQuote:

We missed last year, and it looks like we'll have to miss this year too.....drat! :(
Awww, too bad you'll miss it! :( Not like we have to go all the way to Ohio to meet considering we probably work blocks from each other.Quote:

What's up - I thought "we" worked around the House Sale Problem??
Can't you squeeze a Road Trip in Saturday afternoon and goof off on Sunday with us??
;)
..
I switched my shifts that weekend - so I'll be getting off at 11am (starting at 11pm the nite before) so I may go and sleep for a few hours and then come - try to be there around 3-4 and will prolly stay later.
Sue- Coldwater isn't too far away from Anna - you might be able to follow her up or work something out.
Did you post then delete this question??Quote:

Perrysburg is 43 miles (about 52 driving minutes) due NORTH of the Dog Park at Findlay.
Perrysburg is just South of the Ohio Turnpike and sits between I-75 and I-475.
It's pretty easy to get form Perrysburg onto I-75 and zip south to the Dog Park -
just allow an Hour to drive it.
You can use
http://www.Mapquest.com
to research motel locations and the routing to the Dog Park ...
OR - Go back a few posts and use the *LINK* I posted to MapQuest -
all you need to enter is a "Starting Address" - can be your home or a Motel.

My name is Heidi I am new to this site. I was referred to a lady in Findlay that I met at the pet store. I am from Ohio and I will try and make it to the Memorial Day event in Findlay. I look forward in meeting lots of pup friends. :) I have 3 great danes, this is a recent pic of them http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...April06018.jpg
I did. Sorry. :oQuote:

Do you need to be a member of the dog park to go to this event? What do I need to bring (vet papers, dog lisence...etc)?
No, we're going to be at the Econo Lodge. (Big spenders, I know.) :oQuote:

You are not the only one. lol Seems most people from PT really want to meet him then my BEST friend who Nanook & I haven't seen in years & years wants to see him too & we will be visiting her for a few days after the meeting. She REALLY wants to see him. :)Quote:

There are a lot of IF's though but the main thing is how he is doing at that time. IF he is doing good then then he will come. I've already gotten offers from others to help watch him at the park as he would need to be kept away from rowdy dogs so he doesn't get hurt.
YAY!!Quote:

I get teary eyed just thinking about how much Nanook would love it there. He REALLY digs other people & pets. He is such a total love bug, not ONE mean bone in his body & he LOVES attention & parties & the such. I can just see the happiness in him just thinking about it. It brings tears to my eyes.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))) To you and that sweet Nanook.Quote:

My dad said I can come but I'm still trying to find out where I'm going to stay. He wants to drop me off in OH and drive to MI. Don't know if I'll be coming or not.
I'm so glad so many people are able to come!!! Can't wait!!
The fenced doggie area of the park is so big Nanook could easily stay away from the doggers being rowdy. There's even a "time out" cage, too, or he could hang out up at the pavillion with the people, too. Of course it will depend on how he's feeling at the time, we understand that.
Wow! What gorgeous puppers! Yep, Gabbie is a merle. And I just met another lady with an absolutely beautiful harlequin dane puppy at the Findlay dog park on Thursday! I'm hoping she will come, too. I'll keep an eye out for her in the next few weeks. Last year, Dakota (4-dog mother's grandog)was also at the picnic & led all those crazy huskies on a wild goose chase! Not sure if she'll make it this year.Quote:

:D This is going to be a great pic-nic! If any of you out of towners would like to get together in Findlay for dinner or something Saturday night, pm me, ok? Not sure when anyone's arriving, but I asked for Sat. night off work, just in case.
Count us in on that! I'd love to meet him. Hope he's feeling up to it. :)Quote:

We have been planning on taking a camping trip up in Ohio anyway, so why not do it that weekend? :D It feels good to be posting on PT again and I hope I get the chance to meet some of you!
BTW, I know this isn't the right thread to start this in, but we've got a new addition since I was last on PT. Meet BUTLER :)
I am actually from Wharton, its about 15 miles south of Findlay. I go to the Pet Supplies Plus every other weekend to get dog supplies, and go shopping no and again. I am not a member of the dog park just yet. I just actually found out about it last week. I would like to become a member, I am looking into it. That would be great to meet for a playdate, when I am a member. Weekends would be best for me.Quote:

Nice to meet you.
As you can see in my siggy I have 2 cats and a golden retriever.
Your dogs are gorgeous. I didn't realize we there was a dane breeder so close!
My neighbors son has a black one that he rescued. He is breathtaking as are yours.
PM me anytime.

Heidi, this is the link Phred put up about how to get a permit. probably a good idea to get it by computer & mail, as the park dist. office is closed on week-ends :( Can't wait to meet you & your danes!Quote:
