YEAH! I've been watching for a notice!
Hmmmm....What can I bring?

I will be there and barring Keegan's leg is still bothering her or she has surgery - SHE will be there also.
If she has to have surgery - I will be flying solo.

Hey Phred,

Since I can't find the directions I printed out from the last trip,
could you give me a link to map directions from Indy? I don't
remember the zip code of the park either. I don't have a printer
yet at home, but hope to get one soon. Thanks. Liz.

MapQuest has a new :cool: "Trick" you can try -
we'll see if it works!

The *link* shown below should send you to MapQuest.com AND
open a "Directions TO" page ...
The "DESTINATION" blocks (on the right) "should" be already
filled in with the proper Township 207 & 298 Roads, and the
Findlay, OH 45840 ...

The ONLY thing you have to enter is your STARTING Address
(on the LEFT side of the page).

MapQuest will then display the Turn-by-Turn route from your starting
address; and *links* to allow you to *print* the route and/or
E-mail the route to yourself.

Here's the *link* to produce your Custom Route to the Daog Park >>>

MapQuest Directions To: Findlay, OH ~ DOG PARK

ONE NOTE of Caution:
IF you live near or come through COLUMBUS, OH, and
any place South-East of Findlay ... MapQuest makes a boo-boo ~
They send you off of Ohio Route 15 TOO SOON and over a lil
dinky Bridge that's been CLOSED for two years! :rolleyes:

IF your "routing from MapQuest" shows these steps near the end:
* Turn Right onto TOWNSHIP RD 190
* Turn LEFT onto CR-173
* CR-173 becomes TOWNSHIP HWY 244
* Turn LEFT onto TOWNSHIP RD 207
DON'T try to do it!! THAT end of 207 has the :eek: closed bridge -
between where you are and the Dawg Park!
And there AREN'T any "Detour" signs!!

If you get a routing with those steps - just send ME (Cinder & Smoke)
a PM with your "starting address" and your E-mail -
I'll "FixZit" and send you a route that WILL work to get you
around the Reservoir! ;)

LIZ ~

YOUR MapQuest directions are on the way to your e-mail.
YOU don't need to worry about the closed bridge.

/s/ Phred's AAA

:D

If I can get the day off Miss Tori and I will be there;)

:(
Another one we have to miss. :(

I know I promised, but it's just not going to work again. We're headed to Ohio the following Saturday....actually won't get to Ohio until Monday I believe, but then we'll be there all week!

Monday and Tuesday night we'll be in Granville, OH - just West of Columbus - then the rest of the week we'll be at some fairgrounds closer to Columbus. I know it'll be during the week when it's hard for people to do things because of work, but if anyone wants to stop on out, I'd be glad to give you the grand tour of the Motorhowze - and all the rest of them that are for sale - and....yes, you'll be able to meet Peanut and CJ as they will be with us!

So I'm disappointed we won't be able to come to the Bark Park, but hope I'll get to see at least one or two of you while we're in Columbus! :)

Unless noone wants taco salad I can bring something else.

I think we're going to be staying home this time around.

It was one year ago this weekend that we planned on going to Findlay and Angus got sick. I really don't think I could go and be happy so we'll stay home and spend the day with each other remembering happy thoughts of our big boy.

I hope you all have a fun time:)

We understand Anna -
we will miss you.

love to all

:(

Are we only going to have FOUR Families

with us on Labor Day Sunday at the Dog Park!???

What's happened to everyone else??

:confused:

Christy and Brian (and Jasmine and all 3 dogs) are here so they will be there for at least awhile. Don't know what Amy and Ralph have decided. They seem to be undecided to whether to go to a cousin of Ralph's gathering or this one.

So we're up to FIVE now! :)

Maybe you can work on the "problem children"! :p

:cool:

Make that SIX Families now ...

Gabbie is bringin her Mom - Carrie! :D

Anna ~
We're gonna miss seeing You, Mark, and the FurPups;
but understand. :(
{{{Hugs}}}

Did you remember to tell Jennifer and the Husky Gang??
Not too late to call them!
;)

Thanks Phred....and yes I made sure Jennifer knew about it, but I haven't heard as of yet if she's going or not.

Again...I hope you all have fun:)

Hate to *rush* anyone into a *snap* decision ...

But the Findlay Bash *IS* *TOMORROW* folks ...

and there's STILL a few we haven't heard from yet ...

:(

:confused:

Nobody else is going to come tomorrow?

Staci ~ Tell cuz Brandi to invite some friends ...
Diana ~ Invite the Nayburz!
Brian ~ Bring the Army.

If you don't come ~ it's YOUR loss ~
We have **PHUNN** with whoever shows up! :D

Tyme to fire up the Cookie Factory ...

See y'all in the Morning! ;)

We'll be there, Phred, and I hope you're hungary cause I made a BIG bowl of pasta salad! And it does look like it's going to be a gorgeous day. See you there.

I believe we are coming. Just don't expect us too early...we had people here til 1:30 this morning.

See ya all this afternoon!

I'm sorry I didn't make it. I have no good reason. I just felt too tired and lazy to make the drive up there. I am regretting my decision now:rolleyes: . I'm sitting here bored and I know Tori would have had so much fun on this beautiful day. Oh well, thats what I get for not being able to motivate myself.

I hope you guys are having a great time and I can't wait to see some pics. Ohhh, now I'm missing Diana's potato salad and Phred's cookies! I'm such an idiot:p

ahem!
and you missed Snow Tunnel Cake!

I am home.
pooped - myself and besides Pat and JoJoe I was the earliest to leave.
Pics are getting uploaded right now.
Great weather.
Great Food.
Great Friends
Great Dogs.
What more could you ask for? ;)

I'm home too and have my pictures ready to go. We did have a great time - even though it was a small group - we had lots of fun! Aand great food!

Nice pictures Diana! The first one of Jasmine in the cage with Jack is adorable! (actually all the pictures of Jasmine are adorable!)

What a gorgeous day for a pic-nic. The food was GREAT - that snow-tunnel cake was really good! And all the puppers were so laid back, really a very nice time. Will post pics when we get them developed (I'll have a digital camera someday!). So nice to see everyone!
(BTW, had to leave a little early because my friend was coming over to help me "water the cat"- that is, give him subcutaneous fluids. She's been helping me whenever she gets to town, bless her! Then we had another committment to be at) Hope you all have safe journeys home.
