Too bad you still couldn't drive to Knoxville :/

OK, so I'm a little slow at responding, but my folks are just across the line in VA, so I could make it down there for a meeting too. Love to meet some of y'all face to face (and for the canines, nose to tail, right? --not my cup of tea, but you know how it is). Keep us posted as to your choice of final location/date and I'll do my best to get Belle and myself there.

YAY! Anybody have any better ideas or ideas on where we can stay, and exactly when we're going to have this? November is getting near if we're having one then..

I think there's a Comfort Inn in Pigeon Forge; they're usually pet-friendly, (and might offer a group rate if we get enough people together). Pigeon Forge is usually a little less expensive than Gatlinburg proper, but it's close enough that we could go over there if that's where you guys want to go. (I think someone mentioned a dog park over there?)

Who's actually going to set up the meeting? He/she should get a head count on who can come for sure on whichever weekend is chosen, and then check rates/room availability, etc and let the rest of us know how much it will cost, etc. (No, I'm not volunteering )

I definitely am uncomfortable with one huge cabin for everybody to stay in...if we go to a hotel and each have our own room for us and our pet, at least we can lock the doors if one of you turns out to be a total slime-bag predator (not that I'm accusing anyone, but better safe than sorry).

Hmm.. good thought. I guess I'll be arranging it since I'm a Tennesseean myself.. . The only problem with a hotel is I don't think Roxy would be allowed, and my mom definitely wouldn't allow her. So it might just be Lily, my mom, and I. So does anybody know dates, times? I need to start checking around and knowing how many people can definitely come..

Did some hotel research, and this one looks great. I'll email about group pricing when the date gets more closer. They're pet-friendly, and they're located near many attractions in Pigeon Forge.
