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

[cyber-sibes]

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!

Really? Are they as large of a gathering as this one? I want to meet a bunch of people if I'm going to drive that far

[shais_mom]

usually Labor day and Memorial day are the big ones and the one that we might have in the middle around July is a smaller group.

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)

[anna_66]

I guess I should look at Meetings more often

I hope all of you are able to come,that would be so awesome!

Of course, we will be there

And as to your food question, everyone usually brings a dish (or chips, pop or something like that). But since your coming from out of state we sure don't expect you to cook anything! Just bring whatever your able to.

I think Kia (ramanth's girl) is allergic to poultry...


I'm still working on my dad...

I'm sooo lucky, my school finishes on the 26th! wheew. so, I (& crayola) hope to be there - will be my first big east gathering.

I'm (crayola also!) very flexible with carpooling, hotelpooling, etc. if anything works out.

karen & paul, will you be passing us, me & lvdogs? if so, maybe we can carpool! *does little happy dance* where do you plan to stay at anyway? I remember you had to have a computer at hotel last year..

mmm, any of you know ASL? (america sign language or at least some fingerspellings?)

[Kfamr]

Gina, All I know is how to spell my name and say "My Pleasure."

There is a hearing impaired couple who use ASL and it is our company policy to say "My Pleasure" after a customer thanks us - the husband can hear quite a bit and read lips well, so he tells us thank you and everything - We learned how to say "My Pleasure" in finger spellings just for them.

awesome they had that policy! I wish everyone everywhere could have that, would be nice to communicate. so, you don't know the other 14 letters?

one thing though kay (and karen!), hearing impaired - maybe a very few wouldn't mind that phrase, (mostly to people who could hear at least a little) but please be aware most of us (who don't hear at all) would feel offended. we prefer deaf. (or hard of hearing for whose are sonically challenged too). I understand you didn't undermine us, I thought I'd educate you all a bit. just that word, makes me feel like I'm really disabled.
- (to understand better, please take a look here) -

anyway, I've not check this thread and missed zillion pages. sorry if I miss anything, (skimmed in a hurry to lab work tonight) - are we gonna camp this year or? enough participators? I still need to fill out and sent out crayola's application! agh.. sue, I hope you still know I'm coming.

freckles, I can promise you I won't forget! camera's always in my car.

this is so exciting! so many are coming - I can't wait.. I would have bring some food (pasta salad/banana bread) from menu you listed but I'll be in a heaty car for a couple of hours.. so I guess I'll be bringing what lv4dogs' gonna bring!

Cats at the park????

I am transporting the kitten I rescued to his new home in Ohio after the PT meeting. He will be 8 weeks old then and is so far very well mannered. He will have his first set of shots by then and I will have Kaige's crate for him to be confined in. If it is not too hot out AND I have my van I can keep him in the van during the cay. But if it is hot out he'd have to be out to prevent heat poinsoning. Because of all the strange dogs I will obviously not be bringing him out of his crate.

Will this be a problem at all?
