*Memorial Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* MAY 28, 2006 ~

[ramanth]

Calendar is marked.

[lv4dogs]

Yay, I've been waiting for this thread. I've been wanting to come for years & this is my year!

Kaige will probably be the only dog I bring though. Nanook is just too old & Raustyk is sometimes not dog friendly.


If anyone has a room open or is interested in sharing a hotel room or camping site let me know.

We love to carpool. Before Leslie moved, we'd all ride down together. Since she moved, we've been the only Michiganders to head down.

If your parents want to call or email me, let me know.

You know what... I'll talk to my dad about this one. If we go again I'd love to camp. We usually borrow my boss' pop-up camper that has 3 beds in it. As long as you think Kaige would be okay in canvas walls.

I'll probably only bring Kiara and Nala or just Kiara. Simba really doesn't enjoy the dog park anymore.

Thats fine, I would probably stay in my tent as I am not sure how kaige would do w/ canvas walls. I am almost sure he would be fine but If I camp I'll be crating him just in case. We could at least share a site though.

potential campers - I will make a couple calls tomorrow & see what's around here. The park has "primitive" tent camping only, but there's an rv campsite that I think is close by listed in the phonebook...

[.sarah]

I'm interested!

Does anyone know about how much it would cost to drive from North Florida (Tallahassee) to Findlay and stay up there? Just an estimate ... I have lots of money saved up but I don't want to spend a bunch of it. And if I can't come there's always next year.

Sue - I'm interested in camping also, so if I come, count me in!

[RobiLee]

Tori and I will be there for sure! Can't wait

[lv4dogs]

Just curious about food.
I assume thats decided upon closer to the date?
It says to bring a little extra, does that mean to bring a full meal with a little extra to share or just a dish to pass?

And for the dogs, Are they any dogs going that have certain food allergies? (I am not saying why). lol

Well I am off to read about the appliation for the dog park. (does little happy dance)

[slleipnir]

Does anyone know how long it would take to drive from Maine? Do you have to go through NY to get there? Me and mom were going to go somewhere this summerish...I might see about going here...but I think we might end up going to Alberta.

Do you think it would be easier to drive through Canada then go through the states? (I live in PEI)

[lv4dogs]

What a great time we hade!! It was so nice to meet everyone & of course their pups.
I'm down in Coldwater now, staying with my best friend using her computer. I'll be home in a few days with pics to share!

We already can not wait until next years bash!

Heidi, this is the link Phred put up about how to get a permit. probably a good idea to get it by computer & mail, as the park dist. office is closed on week-ends Can't wait to meet you & your danes!

[Cincy'sMom]

Weclome Heidi! I am another originally from the Findlay, area, although I live in Toledo now. I graduated from Van Buren. Your danes are gorgeous!! My sister has a female Harlequin Dane (as well s a dalmation and a lab mix). They currently liove in Cincinnnati, so I'm not sure if they are coming to Findlay for Memorial Day or not, but we could have a real Dane gathering!!!

Hello all! I have been away from PT so long, it's making me sad Thanks to lv4dogs I found out about this Findlay meeting! Ever since moving to Kentucky I've been hoping I'd get a chance to make it up to one of the infamous meetings... looks like this may be the one I talked to my better half, he seemed excited about it, so you can most likely count us in! We have been planning on taking a camping trip up in Ohio anyway, so why not do it that weekend? It feels good to be posting on PT again and I hope I get the chance to meet some of you!

It would be so great to meet you and that gorgeous Ruby girl!! Hope you can join us!! And what alittle cutie Butler is! Congrats!!
