BUTT - Don't *sweat it... ;)
I've been working with the Hancock Parks Director to devise
a "Visiting Dogs Policy"
that the Parks & Health Departments can agree to;
AND that the Local Taxpayers (who really *own* the Park),
will feel is fair to all.
What is Absolutely POSITIVE is that *ALL* "Visiting Dogs"
will be *Required* to bring WITH them and possibly Turn In ~
1) COPY of a Vet's Receipt showing that Annual Vaccinations were
. . given within the Last Year;
2) COPY of a Rabies Shot Vaccination showing that the shot
. . is CURRENT (within 1 or 3 years - depending on the vaccine used)
3) Dog should WEAR its City/County/State LICENSE,
. . as well as its Rabies Tag.
WE will get the "policy" worked out with Parks...
"Guest Permits" are being considered.
We'll keep you posted -
but you "Out of Towners" can start rounding up
Items #1, #2 and #3 above.
Bottom Line - Don't *Sweat It*!!
We'll get the FurKids IN!! ;) :D
Thanks for the info Phred! :)
I'll have to get copies at the store.
They wear their tags 24/7 so that's no problem.
Katie and I will be there on the 18th. Can't wait! Not for sure what I'm going to bring. I'll be sure to bring something though :p
Since Katie and I will probably be coming to a few of the get togethers, how do we go about registering for the dog park? I'd like to get that taken care of.
Robin :)
Of course we'll be there!
I think I will bring a desert of some kind.
I believe you can print of an application online. Ithink Phred posted alink once before, but I don't remember which thread...if he doesn't reply soon, you can do a google search for Hancock County Parks and should be able to find it.Quote:

Basically, you need to send vet records and $10 to The Hancock County Park Office, 1424 East Main Cross Findlay Oh, 45840.
( Check payable to Hancock County Parks Field of Dreams)
Here are *links* to two Hancock Parks District web pages;Quote:
How do we go about registering for the dog park?
The first link has an brief "Tail" about the Dog Park at the
Very BOTTOM of the page >>>
Hancock Parks / Riverbend DOG PARK
And here is the *link* to see and PRINT the
Dog Park Yearly Permit Application >>>
Hancock DOG Park PERMIT Application (note: is an Adobe .pdf file)
NOTE: You Must Have "Adobe Acrobat Reader" installed on
your 'puter to Load & See this .pdf file...
If you don't have Adobe Reader -
I guess PM Me at "Cinder & Smoke" and we'll get you a form.
Note 2: The Application is TWO Pages long -
be SURE to Print Page 1 AND Page 2;
Page 2 is a WAIVER that Must Be Signed & Returned -
and is at the Very BOTTOM of page 2. ;)
What you need to SEND IN with the Application is >>
1) CHECK made out to Hancock Parks Foundation with
Memo to: Dog Park Permit
2) COPY (originals won't be returned) of the Dog's
. . Annual Vaccination Record from the VET...
. . (A Copy of the Office Visit Receipt is fine if the SHOTS
. . are noted & has Vet's Name on it).
. . DATE needs to be within ONE Year of now.
3) COPY of RABIES Vaccination Receipt ...
. . DATE within 1 or 3 years - depending on the vaccine used;
. . Most Rabies Receipts show an EXPIRATION date for the shot -
. . Rabies Vacc must be "current" (not expired).
4) All Dogs must also be "Licensed" by the City, Town, County,
or State where you LIVE. Fido should be *wearing* his/her License.
Send it all to:
Hancock Parks District
Attn: Dog Permit
1424 Eeast Main Cross Street
Findlay, OH 45840
Cost of $10 / year registers 1, 2 or 3 Dogs.
You'll receive a Plastic Laminated "Permit Card" in the Mail -
BRING IT WITH you on visits -
they WILL be Checking Permits this year!!
A note about the "DATES" shown on your Receipts ~
Parks is "happy" if the Dates on the Vet & Rabies Receipts are
"Current" within the LAST 12 Months of when you send them in...
In other words; if Fido had his "Shots" anytime AFTER April 1 of 2003 -
he's Good to Go!
And a 3 year Rabies shot is good if it was given
AFTER April 1, 2001.
** Write DOWN the ZIP Code - they forgot to put it ON the Application! :rolleyes:
And: The Application has LAST year's Dates on it - "2003" -
don't worry - They'll send a 2004 Permit! ;)
ANY Questions??
Post em or PM me. ;)
/s/ Phred
I think Andy, Kia, and I can make it. Will know closer to the date. :D
Mike and I talked about it last night and this morning and we are beginning to question whether or not we will be attending this year. It's turning into a bigger hassle than it's worth. We will probably come to the May meeting, but, are still debating about others.
So, we will make a command decision in plenty of time to let you all know, so if we can't make it, other arrangements can be made for the main course.
Keegan and I will be there with something to eat! Not sure what tho!
I believe the furkids and I will be there...Ralph unfortunatly, will not.
I am really getting excited about this meeting. I can't wait to meet everyone. :D
Me Too! :D Can't wait to meet you and Leo! It's getting closer!!:D :p :D :p :D :pQuote:

I've "erased" what was originally posted here -
it is (or was) "repeated" a few posts later (below)...
A further explanation is offered in an "edited" post where I
answered a question asked by Donna (moosmom).
Sorry about this!
/s/ :o Phred
Mike and I discussed it and have decided that we will not be attending the gatherings this year. For as many times as we visit, it seems ridiculous to pay $55 to register the 11 dogs when some residents of the county only pay $15 a year and they live there. Phred mentioned rotating dogs, but, I'm not sure they would go for that and if we got "caught" doing that we don't want to end up with a fine.
Also, we both are working closely with the LaGrange County Animal Shelter in LaGrange, IN and need the time to devote to building kennels for the dogs so that they have better living conditions until the new shelter is built. We have been actively involved with coordinating transports as well and we are coordinating 2 for that weekend so that 7 dogs can have a chance at life. One of them is running on Sunday the 18th.
So, that's a longwinded way of saying, we won't be there, so the main course needs to be revised.
Sorry, but, we have discussed this many times and weighed the options and decided against it.
Mike and Molly
Hi guys!
Unfortunately I'll be unable to make it as well. Maybe Memorial Weekend. We'll have to wait and see. Have a great time and think about me.
ATTENSHUN Dawggies -
are your Hoomins *ready* for the
Findlay Bark Park Gathurin on the 18th of April??
PLEASE READ and UNDERSTAND the Following >>>
Last year the Hancock Park District was VERY Understanding
and Forgiving of our not having Dog Park PERMITS for all of
our dogs when they visited...
Parks basically just "looked the other way" and didn't object to
a "few" dogs "visiting" once or twice.
Although several of us have tried,
and a Very Cooperative Park Director has also tried;
it is very unlikely that any major changes in the established
Park Rules will be adopted this summer.
The Dog Park Rules are formulated after Public Hearings -
and rule changes will be a Long & Tedious procedure.
What this means is that EVERY DOG that enters the
Bark Park Enclosure MUST Be REGISTERED in advance.
HOW to REGISTER was covered in detail a few posts ago -
PLEASE!!
Take the Time, Spend the $10, and REGISTER NOW!!
And Please Understand -
it's not that the Park District doesn't want us
to come into their Park - they think it's GREAT :) that so many
folks travel to Findlay to enjoy the Dog Park!!
I'd also like to point out that we "out-of-towners" get off pretty "cheap"!
EVERY Homeowner (and probably Business Owners) HAVE to
PAY a Hancock County Park TAX every year!
It costs a Homeowner anywhere form $15 to $100 per year to support
and pay for the operation of the Park District!
And they PAY that Tax whether or not they step foot in a Park!
**EDIT** to ADD >>
I wasn't very clear with that...
The TAX every Hancock County Resident pays yearly
does NOT include "Dog Park Privelages"!
The TAX is based on a home's "market value" -
a $ 50,000 home pays ~ $15 Park TAX,
a $100,000 home pays ~ $25 Park TAX,
a $150,000 home pays ~ $38 Park TAX;
AND they ALSO PAY an ADDITIONAL $10 to use the Dog Park!
So our having to pay only $10 to use the Dog Park isn't such a bad deal!
We all hope that this doesn't discourage anyone from attending
the Pet Talk Gatherins at Findlay!
The 2-Leggers AND the 4-Leggers ALL have a GREAT TIME!!
Don't miss out!
And if you're going to Bring a Friend WITH Dogs -
form up a "Family Group" and Register up to 3 or 4 dogs on one permit -
just don't "tell" anyone!
Any Questions or Concerns?
Post em or PM to "Cinder & Smoke" ...
There *IS* Time to Register - if you send it in NOW!
As long as the Park Office gets your $10 and the Application WITH
the Dog(s) Vet Records ON or before April 16 (a week from now) -
there won't be any problems.
Cinder & Smokey want to see you ALL in a week!! :D
/s/ Phred
And a lil PS:
I've had a PM asking if "NO Dog" Visitors
(HOOMINs - who don't bring a K-9 Companion along with them)
need to be "Registered"?
The Answer is NO - Humans withOUT a Dog -
do NOT need to "Register" to attend the Gatherin!
And if you're gonna Bring da KAT (or a Cone :D ) -
THEY get in for "free" too!
It's ONLY the K-9 / Dawggies that need to have a Permit!
Hmmmm... wonder if GOATS are allowed in...?? :p
So sorry to hear you won't be coming Molly, Mike and Donna:( We'll really miss you all.
Since Mike and Molly won't be bringing their famous brats (darn!) I'll bring some hotdogs and buns unless anyone has any other suggestions. Just let me know!
I'm looking forward to next Sunday!!!
I'm sorry to hear you won't be coming Mike andMolly, but certainly understand the commitment to the shelter. Those dogs sure need you!! If your schedule fress up later inthe year and you want to come, I think you could get all the dogs registered for $40 (4 on each of 2 passes, $15 each, the remaining 3 on one for $10), and could actually bring 8 at a time...4 for each of you. That is the way I understand the rules anyway.
My mom had to get a second pass this year since she has 5 dogs, so it cost her $20. And she can only take all 5 if my dad is in town :(
We'll miss you too, Donna! Hope you can make it mater this year!
Anna, I'll bring some hot sausages to add to the hot dogs. And I'll still bring a cake.
*EDITED* Friday Morning 4/08/04 @ 11:45 AMQuote:
I would like to know why you feel it necesary
to post the same post twice???
:eek: + :o
"Dad" did a *DUMB* stunt... :p
I did a little research,
and found a "Feature" in the PT "Edit Options" that allows you
to select 5, 10, 20, 30, or 40 POSTS to display on a page...
I've always had 20 Posts / page as my display format ...
so what I said just below here made some "sense" to me...
BUT - if you have selected 30 or 40 Posts / page -
my "repeating" what I originally had posted above
(just "erased" by me) -
looked to many to be a rude and totally unnecessary "harping"
of the subject!
OOPS!! :o
Donna was quite right - I DIDN'T need to "repeat" myself!
Ya learn sumpin Every Day!
Sorry bout that!!

Answer:
I watch the "Views" counter on the Index pages;
and there weren't many "Views" of the post before it went
one page back from the current page.
And from past experience, some folks don't always read the
"older" pages on a thread.
I also sent a "reminder PM" to the Dog Owners who expressed an interest
in attending the Findlay Gatherings.
I truly Hope that no one takes offense to that PM "reminder" -
but I also don't want anyone that plans to attend on April 18 to
not know that the pre-registration (of Dogs) is now a requirement.
I'm Very Sorry if I've seemed to "badger" anyone -
NOT my intent!
Just want to make sure everyone knows the "current scoop"!
PS:
If anyone needs Travel Routings or Directions to Findlay -
post here or PM me at "Cinder & Smoke".
/s/ Phred
I'll bring potato salad if it is warm and cheesy potatoes if it is cold. Also some brownies. I have plates and napkins left from last time.

I just sent my application out today. I'm hoping I will still be able to come. Do you think I will be allowed? Ugh, I'm so mad at myself. I always put things off and then completely forget about it.
Robin :o
I think you should be fine Robin. They just need to have your paper work on file before you you come, and there is no way it should take more then 5 days to get across the state. You may even have your pass back before the weekend, but if not, don't worry.
If you are unsure, you could call or email the park office Friday to be sure it has arrived, but I wouldn't even worry about that.
Fantastic!!! Thanks!Quote:
