Mississauga/Toronto Meeting, All are Welcomed!

[king2005]

I've posted it a few times on here.. Max was about 5, Rocky was about 3, Tonya would have been around 13-14 & I would have been 15-16.

It was a blast taking that photo. It was in a mall, so we had to get special permission to allow Rocky in. We won by saying we'll muzzle him, so nothing can happen (he had to wea one on walks, just incase). When we unmuzzled Rocky he gets SUPER excited & will do that silly Rottie dance, well he scared the hell out of the photo guy hahaha.. Well Rocky refused to sit still, he wanted to sniff everything. SO the photo guy took out a childs toy the squeeked. WELL the look on Rocky' face was priceless, he was wondering what the hell it was & if he should kill it or run in fear hehehe.. Since Max didn't care, he gave that silly look with his ears perked up & full alert with a nice smile

another little story about Rocky.
He was at my dads place after xmas one year. My sister is a HUGE Tigger fan & dad bought her a bouncing Tigger. Max ignored it, but OMG poor Rocky, we thought he was gonna pee all over the floor. He screamed & cried asif someone was beating him with a hot poker. If you knew Rocky you would see him as a dog killer & not a nice dog at times (we put a lot of work into him to make him loveable, Max is what fixed him). SO ya we couldn't resist but chase Rocky around for a min with the Bouncing Tigger going off hehehe.. Max was looking at Rocky saying, what the heck is wrong with you? 1 min your snarling at the door, the next your crying like a little baby hehehe

The stories I have

I wish I could find out if he's still alive, as I'd love to have a photo of the big goof

Commercial breeders who may be importing dogs under eight (8) months of age on a temporary basis for competition in a show or trial, may be exempt from requiring a permit if, at the time of importation, the importer provides an inspector with proof that the dog is entered in a show or trial organized by a recognized association in addition to the rabies certificate set out in Section 3 if from a Rabies-free country or set out under Section 2 if from a country that is not designated as Rabies-free.

Sue, I have a wee issue...

I can still go to the zoo & all.. but Rob freaked out that I invited "a stranger" to the house. He wants me to get to know you first before you come over ... He said what if shes an Ax murderer? I said, ya like you were when I met you online & invited to to my house & went on a date with you ...

argg, men sometime.. So I think it'll be best to keep the pups home this one time.. Then next time should be different. *Robs just a wee bit protective of me (I don't blame him, long story)*


I hope you still want to go to the Zoo & hang out & all... I know nothing about campgrounds around here, but I think there is a website for finding hotels & such.. I'll try to find that & find the cheapest one... I'll still work on Rob & hopefully he'll change his mind, as it'll save loads of $$ & time.

Thats fine, I understand. Like I said before I was really thinking about leaving the dogs at home anyways. lol

We would have to meet up at the zoo then right? As you don't drive & I won't be able to come to your house to pick you up.
Maybe Rob can meet up with us, at the zoo, or for lunch or dinner or something.

And I wasn't talking about sleeping at your house, I was planning on getting a motel or campground anyways but if it ends up working out differently thats fine too. Like you said it would save some money. lol

Guys will be guys, but you can never be too safe or protective. There are some goofballs out there now a days.

There is a mall I can walk to, but I'm hoping I can drag Rob with us, as Rob does enjoy good zoos.

We went to Papanack in 2004. The animals looked like crap, most of the pens were too small, BUT very clean & what the animal would live in, like trees (well "a" tree) & tall grass & weeds & bushes. The reason the pens were so small & the animals looked like crap was because Papanack rescued SOOO many all at once, they had to make so many pens in a very short time. The sad thing is, is that the small pens were MUCH larger then what they were living in.

I have loads of photos & would have gone again if I had the time, as by going all the money goes to the animals. Its a family run zoo/rescue & all their extra employees are volunteers.

We went to the Watertown zoo last year & will never go again. It looked af if they were just trying to get animals & doing nothing with the animals. Their animals were messed up (the badgers were horrible)...

I know the Toronto Zoo is really big on their breeding program (Papanack breeds their lions & Tigers as they are very healthy & not what I call broken).


I wont bring Tom as hes a pain in the arse & will complain the WHOLE day He nearly runined Papanack for us




Like I said, I'll try to work on Rob & I'm so excited about finally being able to go to the zoo YAY!!!
