    Hmm, maybe I should take a drive over there. I live near Chicago and just checked how far it is. It says a little less than 5 hours. Not bad at all. I'll have to check my funds and see if I could make it.

    I think I might feel funny since I have never met anyone from PT before, but I still want to go. There has to be a first time!

    Next question would be who to bring with?!? Sylvia hates the car and can't be away from my dad for more than a normal work day, so she's out. Harley, Morty and Jimmy are good in the car with Morty being the best with it. When I rescued Jimmy we drove 8-9 hours with him in his carrier, but coming out for walks every 2 hours, so I know I can get there ok with him. I think I'd like to take Harley though. Something to think about. Any requests?

    Diana, I love all of your pups but I HAVE to meet Morty if I come. Shhh.. don't tell the other 2 but he is my favorite other than Sylvia who can't come.

    Mind you, Findlay meetings are usually fully of medium-large dogs, so bring who you think would have most fun around bigger pups!

    Morty's foster mom said his best friend was a big dog . None of them regularly see big dogs. My friend brought his golden over a few days ago and in the past. She's about 70lbs and none of my pups have a problem with her. Maybe he will come with me and bring her too!

    I don't know for sure if I can make it, but I'd want to bring Harley because I hate for him to miss out on stuff. Somehow he knows, I swear, but I know Morty would be good on a trip (he's not even good at home!) Maybe I should bring both!

    Also, does anyone know of dog friendly hotels/motels in the area? I'm not much of a camper

    There are a ton of hotels quite nearby in Findlay, it'll take a little searching to figure out which ones are pet-freindly, but there are a myriad of choices! Miss Hoppy stays home to guard the house, so we've never had to find out for ourselves, but I know Cinder and Smokey's dad knows at least one!

    OH, so true!

    "Most" of the $75.00 a night or less motels allow "pets" - you just have
    to double-check their definition of what a "pet" is ...

    Some have "size limitations" - anywhere from 10# up to unlimited;
    some say only ONE pet per room;
    some say "with permission" - then try to trick you into paying $5.00 per pet
    extra when you tell them at the desk you have a pet with you.

    Three GOOD chains that the Three FurKids have all stayed at are:
    Red Roof Inns,
    Super 8,
    Motel 6. (Motel 6 is 30 and 35 miles away from Findlay)

    Prices have varried between $35 - $45 per night - depending on the City and
    the Date - Local Events sometimes push UP the price quite a bit.

    Red Roof and Super 8 both have "under $45 a night" rooms for one adult -
    and up to Three Dogs - IF you talk to the right person!
    I usually call the CHAIN's main 1-800 number and swing the best "deal" they'll
    go for and then make an un-secured reservation - then ask for the
    direct phone number for the motel itself.

    Next step is to call the motel front desk and try to "beat the deal" the chain's
    1-800 people agreed to.

    Last step is to pick the lower rate quote and cancel the high priced room.
    "USUALLY" the Motel's Front Desk beats the 1-800 folks by at least $5 ---
    and have agreed to "three small mutts" staying in the room.

    Best bet is to shop around by phone -
    the Web Sites do NOT always offer the cheapest rates!
