Anything picnicy! Phred and other "menfolk" usually work the grill, so there's burgers and that grillable kinda stuff, and salad stuff and, oh, all sortsa food!
Phred always brings cookies, and I will as well - I always make sure at least one kind I bring is shareable with the pups!
NICE:DQuote:

We're not sure yet. We're planning on doing some backpacking up in Ohio that same weekend (probably on Friday and Saturday), ideally around the Cincinnati area, but we haven't worked out any details yet. We've never done a backpacking/camping trip up in Ohio so we still have some research to do. We might end up staying one night at the campground at the park, but we still have to work out all the details. It would be kind of cool to have a PT camping night! :D We prefer the wilderness, but if we do end up camping in an actual campground it will more than likely be the one at the park in Findlay. I'll keep you posted; feel free to PM me as well :)Quote:

Thank you so much. I will get registered asap. I need to get them all lisenced and info from the vet and then I will be one my way. I will surley do it over computer or mail if allowed, because I work 7am-5pm Mon-Fri and Noon on Sat, so I wouldn't have any time to get up there. I will let you know when I have registered. Feel free to pm me. Have a great day!Quote:

My sister has a female Harlequin Dane (as well s a dalmation and a lab mix). They currently liove in Cincinnnati, so I'm not sure if they are coming to Findlay for Memorial Day or not, but we could have a real Dane gathering!!!
That would be awesome to have some other danes there. Our pupkids have been around many other dogs, but not around many danes. They wouldn't know what to do with thereselves, they would be so happy. :D I am really looking forward to the gathering on Memorial Day. I also talked to my cousin and she maybe coming, she has a weim and a viszla. Its marked on the calender.
I've been wondering about what to bring as well. I know I'm pitching in on the b-day cake and bringing some ultra yummy dog treats but as far as people food goes I'd love to bring some yummy salad or the like BUT I'm driving from out of state & I'm also going to be away from home for 6-10 days as I'll be visiting some other areas while I'm out that way. I don't want anythign to spoil or get squished and I'm also not sure what stores or the like are in the area. I'm not one who usually brings some "genaric" snack to any gathering but this time I think I will have to. I guess It'll probably end up being some sort of chips & possibly some drinks too. :confused: Then though I am worried that many others from out of the area will bring the same items & we'll have too much of one thing & not enough of another. :p
Sue,
Ususally when the time grows closer Phred posts a Who's Bringing what kinda thing that way everyone sees what the other is bringing and what we may still need:)
Since we have so many "Newbies" coming ... I'll post "The Menue" early toQuote:

a concrete floor, and is enclosed on the two sides that get the prevailing winds.
There is NO "refrigeration" other than ice chests you might bring.
(And there's NO ice vending machine within a 20 minute drive! http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/frown.gif )
Do a *search* for past Findlay Gathurins - there's tons of pictures of Past Gathurins -
we've be doing them for several years http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/biggrin.gif

Lindsey, are you really coming too?! Geesh, this is wonderful news! Ruby has always been a fav of mine so I'm super excited to meet you both.

I will introduce myself again, for those that I haven't talked to yet. My name is Heidi and my husband is Jason. We are from Ohio and are owned by 3 Great Danes, 2 cats, and 2 horses. We live about 15 miles south of Findlay, Ohio. I was recommened to this site by a lady at the petstore by the name of Carrie I believe she is owned by a beautiful female merle by the name of Gabby. I am so excited for my pups to meet other pupfriends. We live out in the middle of nowhere, so they don't have much friends. :(Quote:

I'll also be bringing dog yummy home-made dog treats like I stated before. And helping anna with the cost of the cake as it's Kaiges Birthday on Memorial Day!
I'd love to bring something more but the long drive, motel rooms, visits & the dogs I'm afraid not much else will survive. lol

THE CHASE, PT pic nic video
Gosh Pat do I ever remember that video, it's nice to watch it again:D
Still over a month before the party...how on earth are we all going to wait??? I'm getting too excited to see everyone:D

An egg hunt sounds like a great idea, Kay!
Could everyone coming please check THIS out...Thanks!
Don't be http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/confused.gif confused ~
This BIRFDAY PARTEE happens Same Tyme & Same Place as the
Big Memorial Day *BASH* at Findlay ~
You don't have to pick or choose - One Ticket gets ya into All Three "Events" -
* Dawgs' Birfday Partee
* PT Hoomin Picnik
* Dawg Romp inna Dawg Park
The DOGS do need to be "Registered" with the Hancock Park District -
see the instructions for Registering the Dogs near the beginning of this thread >>>
"*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 28, 2006 ~"
(the thread you're reading right now.)
See y'all on SUNDAY, May 28, 2006!!
It's been just over 2 weeks since I mailed my application & I haven't received any permits or anything for the park. I know 10 days is just an approximate time frame but this is something I am SO looking forward to. I hope they get here soon. :p
Crap! With all of this excitement over going I've forgetten to even print out the info for the permits.
Crap crap crap!!
I hope we won't be too late. The park should really consider making an exception for these type of things. :p
Kay, I'm just sending mine out today too, so I wouldn't worry about it. If I don't get my little 'card' before the event, I'll just bring Kia's vet records with me. :)
