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

[Cinder & Smoke]

It's been just over 2 weeks since I mailed my application &
I haven't received any permits or anything for the park.

Sue:
Your Permit "should be in the mail!"

They "found" your application in the pile waiting to be keyed into the puter;
so that means they "processed" it within the last few days - and they should
have already mailed out the Permit Card.

With all of this excitement over going
I've forgetten to even print out the info for the permits.

I hope we won't be too late.

There's FIVE Weeks between now and Memorial Day - plenty of time
to mail in your application and get the Permit back!

Have you printed out the application yet?


And don't forget the missing Zip Code for Parks = 45840

I am awaiting Trinities dog lisence then I will be mailing the info into Findlay. Since Trinity isn't old enough for a rabies, will she be able to attend?

you might want to call up there and double check - I am not sure how old Trinity is but they reccomend that dogs under 16 weeks of age not be inside the fence - you could still bring her of course - and you could hang out outside the fence - that's what some do that have aggressive dogs.

She just turned 5 months old on the 9th of April. Well actually I could get her rabies right before I come. Is that possible?

(Trinity) She just turned 5 months old on the 9th of April.

Most Vets suggest puppies have their "DHLP-P" or "Five-in-One" disease
vaccinations in 3 shots given at 6, 10, and 14-16 weeks of age.

The first Rabies Vaccination is usually given with the third DHLP-P shot at 16 weeks. (4 months)

Most County Health Departments (the outfits that demand Rabies Vaccinations
be given to ALL dogs visiting or living in Ohio) require the first Rabies shot be
given at 16 weeks of age.

There won't be any "deals" made by the Parks Office - you'll have to SHOW them
a copy of a Vet-signed Rabies Receipt, describing the dog, BEFORE they will
issue a permit.

The rules help protect Trinity - *IF* she should *nip* someone - the laws
say she has to be put down and tested for Rabies .
WITH a valid Rabies Veccination, the dog only has to be quarrantined -
usually in your home.

Staci is correct with the 16 week MINIMUM age to enter the Dog Park -
that age comes from the minimum age for a Rabies Shot.
AND - most Vets discourage young'uns from going into public places where
there may be UN-vaccinated dogs - puppies aren't fully protected from
the "Big Five" Diseases (DHLP-P) until they get ALL the puppy and booster shots.

I wouldn't bring Trinity to either the Dog Park or the Picnic area unless she's
had ALL the puppy shots and the first Rabies shot.
But you DO have time to get her shots and the Permit.

she has had all her puppy shots, just not rabies. I don't feel comfortable giving rabies till 6 months. But I made her an appt. for the 28th of April.

I am awaiting Trinity's dog license ...

I forgot to answer this part of your post ...

No one needs to "send a copy" of their dog's LICENSE to Hancock Parks -
just be sure the pooch is WEARING their License and Rabies Tags.

A current "County License Tag", worn along with a current Rabies Tag, will keep
your dog SAFE and out of trouble anywhere in Ohio and when visiting in most other States.

Most Dog Wardens and city or county dog Pounds will research the origin of a
dog's TAGS and place a call to that jurisdiction to determine who a lost dog belongs to.

JOYCE!! You're coming too!?!?

Yes, I would really love to meet all the gorgeous Pet Talk doggies that I have been drooling over. And all the people too, of course. I just need to work out the travel plans.

[Karen]

I have e-mailed several different companies asking if they'd like to send anything as an advertisement/donation or what not for me to include in the baggies for you all as well as to hand out locally.

I just recieved a large package from SitStay.com - clickers & dog training treats for everyone! The ASPCA is also sending some things - and I still have some bracelets from their 140th anniversary.

Thank you for posting that Phred. I was actually getting a little nervous myself, because I haven't sent in my dog's info either, and I was worried about it getting to be too late. Now, I really do need to get my act together and start making definite plans.

So Pat, we can fax all of the information in?

[Cinder & Smoke]

So Pat, we can fax all of the information in?

You can FAX the paperwork and Vaccination Records ...
but I doubt they'll accept a FAXed $10 Bill!

And they won't be sending your Permit till they GET that $10.00!

Just mail the stuff - but do it SOON!

Just include a note with the paperwork saying that you'll be visiting the Dog Park
over Memorial Day weekend - and to please send the Permit "ASAP".
