Who's all coming...

[cali]

thanks, I am not sure what size there are lol I just need enugh for 2 30lbs dogs for 2 days lol so maybe like a 6 lbs bag or in the range, I can use the rest as training treats lol would I would probably arrive on the friday, would I be able to stay with you bewteen flights? lol I feel like I am asking a lot, would you or any of the other vacouver people be able to pick me up from the airport and take me there when I leave too lol I had not even realized all this stuff till now I would probably be flying air canada as I want a straight flight, and as far and the dogs go im good, they allow up to 2 dogs per person or family, I have 2 airline approved kennels and what not, they have never flown before so I will probly need to give them rescue remidy to help, well Happy would need it anyway meeting so many dogs at once might be stressfull lol but she hates being away from me, she gets upset when I am gone for one night.

I believe that Vickie's apartment has a rule about the size of dogs. Ashley wants to come here early, so her place is out...Is it not possible to arrange a flight straight to Kelowna? I'm sure I could secretly house you here LOL. But I would hate for Slick to drive here alone...but then if Manda CAN come, maybe Vickie could drive her....

I'm confusing myself lol.

[cali]

lol hmm most apparments have a weight limit for dog size and dont actually state the HEIGHT of the dog Happy is 21" tall but keep in mind that she is only 25lbs and Misty is 18" tall and 30lbs I am confused I might be able to go straight to kelowna, but I want a straight flight and westjet does not go there from here and neither does air Canada the closest place air canada goes in vancouver from here, and westjet does not go to BC at all from here. and the flights from kelowna do not stop anywhere even close to here lol actully they skip over sask, entirly

[slick]

Cali, yes my apartment does has a size limit - 20" from the top of the head to the ground. Anyone caught owning a dog, or any owner who has a visitor bringing in a dog larger than that gets smacked with a $100 fine. They are really strict here.

Not only that, my my two cats absolutely hate dogs and the last time my neighbour brought over her toy poodle, it took them the rest of the day to get over it. After all, this is their home and it's unfair that I stress them out like that.

So, unfortunately, I can't put you up.

Cali, I'll do some phoning around and pick up a bag of food for you. I could also pick you up at the airport because I've got that week off now. (acually I have the whole month of July off ) When the time gets closer, I'll PM you with all my contact information. If you need it sooner, you can get it from Jordan. She's got all my phone numbers, etc.

[cali]

oh wow lol never heard of that before! lol thats alright, now I gotta find somewhere to stay that allows dogs and pray I can make it out to the meeting

[wolfsoul]

Maybe you can post in general asking for a place to stay? I know of a few people in the Vancouver area on PT who aren't coming to the meeting, but may be able to help you out.

[cali]

good idea lol

[wolfsoul]

Wow, I feel so professional organizing a meeting...You know what the best thing to do is? You start talking about the "PT meeting" you'll be attending in July. People don't know what PT stands for, but doesn't it sound important? LOL.

[binka_nugget]

Hey Shayna! As long as you can get a ride to and from the airport, you can stay at my place. I really wanted to bring a pup so I'm going to be hitching a ride with Vickie as well.

[wolfsoul]

I guess Tasha is the only one coming early now LOL.

We'll need to have a dog count...I know some people plan on bringing their dog to the park, but not to the campsite, which is the way I'd prefer it if that's possible for anyone...For anyone who is coming with their parents, or someone who can keep the dog while you come up to the campsite. I'll be doing that with Timber and ______(The puppy that we're getting any time. It'll be my little brother's). My mom is going to pick them up and drop them off at home. This is mainly just because my grandpa would prefer the least amount of dogs as possible -- I think he's afraid of something happening. And if everyone could just try to bring crates or X-pens or something if they have one, that would be AWESOME.

How many people are bringing vehicles? I'm going to start making maps of the way from the dog park to the campsite, incase we get split up on our drive. Hopefully we can stick together. Jynnelle probably semi-knows what way to go. I know the way exactly. So maybe I should go in the last vehicle -- that way if anyone in front gets lost, they can pull over and wait for us to catch up, and then follow? It is really simple to get there for the most part. It's the first part I'm worried about.

[cali]

thanks ash!

[slick]

Cali, again let me apologize for not being able to put you up. I really have to think of my cats first. Not only that but Max has some pretty sharp claws and an anger to go with them....I wouldn't want to see any bloody noses. Email me your flight times so I that I can plan things. Jordan can pass on my email addy to you.

So here's the plan. I will pick you up at Ashley's at 6:30am on July 9th. In my car will be 3 hoomans and 3 pups. It's times like this that I'm glad at drive an SUV. Jordan, I estimate we should arrive in Kelowna between 11 and Noon. Later, you can email me instructions on where to meet you once we arrive.

On Sunday I was planning on meeting a friend for lunch but it's not written on stone yet. She knows I'll be up there and that I only have a few hours on Sunday afternoon to meet.

Nevertheless, I will be heading back to Vancouver that afternoon maybe 3 or 4 o'clock....again with 3 hoomans and 3 pups. Cali, hopefully I won't be dropping you off at the airport that day and that you can stay a day or two longer.

This is going to be fun. You guys can bring your CD's with you to play in the car...I'm not real fond of rap or head-banging stuff but hey, I've got an open mind.

Jordan, I assume that I will need a sleeping bag, pillows, etc?? How about toilet paper for the **ahem** outhouse???

Isn't Steve attending as well??

[wolfsoul]

Sounds good!

HAHAHA 6:30am...I will laugh at you when I am in bed SLEEPING!

If people can pitch in and bring sleeping bags and whatnot, that's be great. I'm going to bring extras for those who have no room for any. I'll also bring lots of food. I'm sooo getting an ice cream cake. Oooh! I'll tell them to write "2005 Kelowna PT meeting" and put some corny picture on it. It'll be awesome. And I'll get chips and pop and breakfast foods too. I'm good to bring perishables since I'm so close lol. If people want to bring some food, that'd be cool too. There are fridges outside some of the cabins, and there's a kitchen at the Rednexx Lodge (dancefloor) that has the best fridge. I assume we'll be spending most of our time there anyways....CDs and boardgames welcome! Jynnelle and I can never go up there without bringing Balderdash along. Jynnelle can give you a serious laughing cramp when she plays that game. She'll give everyone a heart attack.

As far asI know, Steve is still coming! I'm not sure why the majority of the peopel coming have voted but not replied yet lol. Keeping it a secret?

[cali]

lol thats ok, even if you did not have kitties Happy and Misty are too big lol how long I can stay depends enirly on when the flights are lol now we just gotta plan my flights and work out the costs lol looking it up its cheapest if I head to vancouver on the thursday, friday adds extra to the cost lol and heading back here tuesday appears to be the best option. is $200 each way plus $40 each way for each Happy and Misty so thats $160 total for them all together that comes to $560 I get my money tomorow for delivering flyers, I can save that for when I am there, I should probly visit my grandma and grandpa while were in Kelowna, they live near Jordan's lol obviously it would just have to be a quick pop in to say hello though hey I wonder if the trip could be considered my Grad present?

[Shelteez2]

I'll be bringing an x-pen along with me....I can also chip in for whatever food items we might need....since I'll be there early perhaps Jordan and I can do a shopping trip the day before the trip.

Oh and Jordan you can ride with me so I don't have to worry about getting lost.....lol As long as you can stand my bad driving that is...
