Awesome! I will do that... as long as you don't mind me having a dog or two with me. lol They go camping with me.
I'll let you know in the spring or so when I will be up there. Can you believe I've been by the Falls a million times & only live a couple hours away & have neer been. lol

I don't mind the dogs being here for the day, but if we take off to tour, they need to be crated or tied up in the house. Only because the basement door has to be open & Axle is down there & if one of your pups tries to take a drink, or a dip they could get hurt REALLY bad. Axle is a 20 Snapping Turtle. Hes super friendly outside of the water, but in the water hes a typical snapper, anything near the water = food.
I have a water dish your dogs can use here & a chain so they can go outside in the backyard to potty Just bring a few toys & treats, as the ones I have mean too much to me.
I've only lived here since sept. so I've never been to the Falls, CN tower, or Toronto Zoo. If you come down & can crate, tie or keep the dogs elsewhere I'd LOVE to spend a couple days at the Toronto Zoo (it takes days to tour the place I've been told), the guys wont go to that zoo with me because they don't want to spend THAT much time there I think its $20.00cdn/day to go to the zoo

Wow, I wasn't expecting you to offer them a place to stay for the day. That would be awesome as most campgrounds & hotels do not allow dogs to stay there unsupervised, even in crates. And I don't travel that much without my dogs. That is so kind of you, I'm just blown away. Thanks for the offer. If I do have to take you up on the offer, don't worry I'll bring crates and of course they will have their food & water dishes & everythign else they need.
I'd love to spend a couple days at the zoo with you and of course I have to visit the falls. lol
Do you know of any decent pet friendly campgrounds or hotels nearby? Or actually we can discuss this when spring nears. But yes I'm excitied about it allready.
If Rob & Tom are home, I'm sure they'll keep the dogs out of the crates while they are home. They both work from home, so they're home a LOT. Are your dogs BIG barkers? Thats one issue Rob will have. He HATES non-stop barking dogs. Barking at the door is fine, but for no reason all day long will be an issue.
Do your dogs need special water? My old dog was only able to drink our local water, any other water made him soooooo ill. We have britta (sp) water that we bottle & put in our ummm mini fridge beside the couch hehehe.
Smoking is a no no here, not even in the yard. The guys parents were horrid chain smokers & they both have breathing issues & have pure hate for smoking(ers). I personally don't mind going for walks while you smoke down wind of me. But not in sight of the house.
Oh I don't drive, but I don't mind helping pay for gas (I feel so guilty cause I had $ for Audrey for some gas when she drove us to Sandspits in PEI, but when she introduced me to her fur kids I FORGOT to give it to her :( , so make sure you remind me to pay if I get to excited with the trip, which I will hehe).
Having the dogs crate trained is FANTASTIC!!! I feel much better knowing they'll be 100% safe while we're out. Not sure where to put the crates, cause my fish would prob. scare the crap out of your dogs, or soak them. hmmmm... the spare bedroom, is a quiet place, but we'll have to see if that room gets hot during the summer as I haven't lived in this place long.
I cannot say for sure, but I might be able to swing a plane tour for us, as Rob will be a Pilot any week (he just has a few more solo flights to do, then a preflight with an instructor & then the flight test.
We're also building an aircrast, so I'll show that to you & "maybe" let you but in a rivet or 2 :)
This cannot happen in Aug. As I might be going to Romania with the guys. Tom wants to meet a couple crippled kids(18) that have worked for him. They do computer art for him & since they cannot travel, he said he'll go there instead & is bring me & Rob with him.. YAY
mmmm long post hehehe
