UPDATE: The date this will be held on are June 23-24 2006, its a weekend!

Mississauga/Toronto Meeting, All are Welcomed!
There is no set time as of yet, but spring/summer is looking good so far (but not Aug)

Ok here is our own thread.

King2005

I'm in Mississauga (20 mins from Toronto)! Come see me I'm dogless, but I do have other cool pets

lv4dogs

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

I'm not 100% sure if I'll have the dogs with me or not. I was planning on bringing them because I didn't realize there was so much to do. At first I was only planning on going to the Falls and stay at a campground but I forgot about the Zoo (which I've never ben to that as well). We keep coming up with new & exciting things to do.

With all of the activities to do I may just come up for the weekend, stay in a hotel & spend it all with you and leave the dogs with my mother. lol

But even if they do come here's some more info about them.

My dogs are not big barkers. Raustyk will bark if she hears a car pull up or someone comes to the house or yard but thats it. Kaige only barks when she barks and even then he barks less than her. lol I'd go insane if they barked all day long for no reason. Nanook will stay with my mother no matter what as he's to old to handle a trip like that.

My dogs don't need any special water.

I am a smoker (bad me) BUT I don't smoke often & I DO respect others. Heck I live alone & I don't even smoke in my own house. lol I WILL respect your wishes.

I don't mind driving & I don't mind paying for gas either.

Your fish would scare or soak my dogs? What do you have sharks? LOL
They are used to all sorts of critters. My family all lives happily together & it consists of 3 dogs, 2 cats, 4 ferrets, 3 hamsters & some fish. They all love each other. And IF it is any problem what so ever they will be crated if they even come now. lol

My dogs are all well behaved so if they do come, between their good manners & their crate they should be fine.

Thats so exciting that he's going to be a pilot & your building your own aircraft.

Its not certain yet but I was hoping for sometime in June or right around there (May to July).

IF I do leave the dogs at home and you want to meet them I'll just let you know the next time in in/near the area with them. I do camp sometimes int he Buffalo area, thats not too far away either & the dogs come with me.

I'm just begining to think that it may be nice to leave them home for the weekend. Theres so much to do & see up there. We'll have a lot more time to do other things.

**king2005** · 12-20-2005, 03:54 PM

Toronto Zoo

Go to that site & see if they allow dogs. I don't have Java working properly on my computer. But if they allow dogs (I think they do) & its not hot outside (shouldn't be in may) then bring the pups since they'll be with us anyways.

if you can get me the zoo # off the site I'll ask them any questions that might not be posted on the site (my phone has free longdistance for all of Canada & the usa MUAHAHAHAAA)...

I miss walking dogs, so having them will be a bonus

When the time comes & if the dogs don't come, I'll talk to the guys to see if you can crash on the couch for the weekend, insted of paying $$ for a crapy hotel.

Oh & thanks for respecting the smoking thing, it'll mean SOOO much to the guys
