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

[Karen]

Well, we live in Findlay and frequent the dog park quite often but have never heard of this annual event!

Welcome to Pet Talk, and we hope to meet you Sunday! We'll all be either in the Dog Park or at the Pavillion nearest it. I'm gonna be sure to pack my sunscreen, 86 sounds perfect!

[ramanth]

Great news Debbie! It'll be great seeing you guys.

Welcome to PT, Josers.

[shihtzulover850]

Welcome to pet talk. Just viewed your prof. and noticed you were new. lots of findlayan ohioans here.

[sandragonfly]

welcome, josers! glad you found this before having a heart attack.

folks, just a note - I now don't know if crayola & I will be coming. I do have a ride, there and back. I'm just desperately hopeful my three missing furkids will be back before I leave. 3 days left.. if they aren't, I wouldn't know what to do.

I'll update you all as soon as I know my decision. hey doggies, if you could share some crossed paws with moggies, please do so! there's the detailed link below - would be much hopeful & appreciated, thanks. oh, who should I call in case?

Hey everyone. My heart is breaking as I type this, but I don't think we won't be able to make it this year.

My mom was supposed to meet me for lunch at work take Hugito with her so my co-workers could see him. She was supposed to drop me off in the morning, come home, pick up the baby and head back to my work. So, on her way back from dropping me off, she got in an accident.

Lots of blessings in disguise here. First and foremost, she wasn't hurt and neither was Maggy or Emma. Second, she didn't have Hugito with her and lastly, the damage isn't terrible. Either way, I can't see us going on a 5 hour road trip with my car in this condition. I'm really disappointed and very sorry. I was so looking forward to going.

There's still a very small chance that we'll rent a car to go, but that chance is slim to none.

I'm really sorry.

[shihtzulover850]

oh I will be praying for your mother {{prayers}}

Oh, how scary! I am glad everyone is okay, most of all.
If you do manage to come, we'd be thrilled to meet you, your husband, Hugito and of course Maggy, but we understand either way.

Maybe your insurance covers a rental car?

[cyber-sibes]

Prayers on their way for those in distress. I'm glad your mom & pups were okay, Deb. Cars are just cars, at least no one was hurt, although I'm sure she's shook up. If not this time, maybe next?
Gina, (((hugs))), all paws crossed on this end. Prayers and good vibes going out for you...hang in there.

Welcome Josers - I think we may have met at the dogpark last week, I remember meeting a little bichon. See you Sunday!

I'm very sorry to hear about the accident, thank goodness no one was hurt! I'm sorry to hear you won't be able to make it, though.

[Cinder & Smoke]

It didn't and doesn't effect many folks - but having the New Bridge open to traffic
solves a problem - MapQuest can't get anybody LOST now!

The Lil Rickity Bridge that carried Township Highway 207 over the Blanchard River
down near the south-eastern corner of the Findlay Reservoir has been closed
for several years - and I doubt many folks even remember using it!
I was even told the Bridge would never be replaced ... so we learned the new route.
The Dawgs got upset a few times - but even they are tuned into the New Route
around the west side of the Reservoir. I don't get *Howled At* for going
the wrong way anymore!

But MapQuest didn't wanna hear it! If they brought you in from the east, south-east,
or the south, using US Route 23 and OH-15 ... you were gonna be "sent" across
that closed Bridge - with NO "Detour" Signs to help guide you throught the back roads!

So all the MapQuesters that I've told to use "MY" approach to the Dog Park -
over OH-37 and coming up the west sode of the Reservoir -
you now have a choice - do it MY Way or the MapQuest way -
you'll get there either way!

Drive Safely- whichever way you come!

Deb I am so sorry to hear of your mom's accident! Very glad noone was hurt tho!
Welcome Josers! My golden Keegan and I will be there later in the afternoon. I hope the park isn't flooded with the storms that we had in the area today! I was in Findlay this afternoon! - woooow!

While at Pet Supplies Plus today I spied 2 huskies in the big tubs in the self dog wash! yupper Star and Sherman were getting prettified! I spoke to Pat but she had her hands too full of Sherman trying to escape to I think realize who I was! Then I saw the pretty Star in the car (hey I rhymed) while I was leaving! I want to try that sometime - not sure how Keegan's hips will handle it tho
Gina - I would assume that you could contact Sue or Karen to let them know if you are coming. I most certainly would understand your decision to stay home! I wouldn't be able to go anywhere if my cats were missing! I hope you got your window fixed.

[Cincy'sMom]

Sorry to hear about your mom's accident Deb. Glad everyone is okay!
The meetingat Labor day isn't quite as big, but maybe timing would work out for you.

[anna_66]

Oh Deb how scary it must have been for your mom. I'm just glad to hear that no one was hurt in the accident. I do hope that your insurance covers a rental and your still able to come, but we all understand if your not able to. If not hopefully you'll be able to come some other time.

Welcome to Pet Talk Josers. It's always nice to see another newbie here and even better to meet them Looking forward to seeing you and the duo on Sunday!

Gina I'm really sorry to hear about your missing furkids, it must be very hard not knowing where they are. We'll all understand if you don't come.
Of course your boy is still going to be on the cake so if your not there, we'll still be thinking of you

Ohhh my sounds like Star and Sherman are all ready for the park...can't wait to pet that soft fur of theirs (bet they're smelling pretty good too!).

Everyone please travel safely...see you all Sunday!

[4 Dog Mother]

So sorry about the accident Deb. Glad no one was hurt! Picked up your mother's permit today. Let me know what you want to do with it. Can mail it to you or whatever. Will miss you being there.

Gina, hope the cats come home and you can make it.

It has been raining hard today - need that sun to come out and dry things out! Keep the sun dance agoin'

[sandragonfly]

oh wow - lodeb, just glad everyone's allright! whew. ((((gentle))))

thank you, yes, my window was fixed immediately or more cats would have gotten out.

me too, I certainly hope I'll make to findlay! I'm not gonna give up...I've been looking forward to this, I've already missed pet talk's birthday party & 3rd BBQ events! one of my good friends could stay over here for two nights and watch out for them. only if at least 2/3 are found, and if I'd feel better. you can always hope, I think I still will be coming.

for who to call, I meant someone who's already there, at the park - who knows I'll be coming last minute.

lobodeb, hope everything's settling down by now. and hope to see all of you too! I'm keep praying.
(((thank you everyone!)))

edit - will anyone bring name tags again this year?
