*Labor Day Weekend *BASH* @ Findlay, OHIO Bark Park ~ *SUNDAY* SEPT 6, 2009 ~

[Catherinedana]

I wish I could come but I'm so very far away. . . I'd have to borrow a dog as well cause I ain't got one - only boids. Maybe next year. . .

Or maybe the FLorida PT'ers would like to set up their own meeting? Hmmmmm - I'll look into that. . .

You should! It'd be fun! We're in the process of doing one for the Maryland area - we could have parties everywhere!

Some new updates on the park!!! IMPORTANT!

Starting Monday, the park will be closed a week to ten days. I looked at the calender and it should be opened by our party. However, the west half will be closed until about next year because they will need to grow new grass (they are adding some drainage in the areas that stay muddy). So we will only be able to use the east side. The water will be moved over to the east side. Next year, the east side will be closed and the west side open.

The road usually taken to the dog park is now a one way and the bridge is closed. You have to take the detour now. I don't know road names but I'm sure someone will post directions... or I can do it if need be.

However......


You are now only allowed to bring one dog per owner/person, into the dog park. This rule will be a continued rule even after all the dog park renovations are done.

They say it's because one side will be closed so it will be small. But apparently people are having problems with multiple dog owners.... so I guess that's why they're making it a permanent rule. It really sucks for multiple dog owners that are RESPONSIBLE!

>>GASP<<



I swear they do some of this just to PI$$ Me OFF!
Phunnie (NOT) that sweet Mizz Margie somehow furgot ?? to mention
ANY of this when she called last week to annunce the Bridge Closing.

It's way too late to call 'em and "discuss" this with anyone ... and all the
Office Dwellers will just blame it all on "The Board" - who won't be available
to defend thier positions or listen to any alternate ideas.

I'm beginning to think there's a desire to close the Bark Park ...


I need to chill ...

[anna_66]

So now because there are irresponsible multiple dog owners I/we have to pick and choose which dogs can come to the park...that's just BS

If this continues maybe we should try to find a new spot where we can bring all our dogs.

The only thing I could think of is bringing more people so there is one dog per person. Children/husbands/wives.... GRANDMAS? Lol

Or maybe stack the deck a little more ...

Invite a Church Group ... a BIGG Church Group --- with LOTSA Kids ...
Fill the joint up ... five or more 2-Leggers per Woofer ...

We'll see who *complains* next.


Find another Spot ...
START LOOKIN!

I'd really like to know just WHO "THEY" talk to that carries so much weight
with "THEM" who create these idiotic "rules".

PS:
After receiving the Phone Advisory from Margee in the Park District Office;
they followed up with a well-crafted full-page map / instructions for the Detour ...

And not a Single Word about the half-sized Park for our event
NOR the newly restrictive attendance "rules".

Did I mention I was PI$$ED?

while i'm not sure about the particulars Upper is working on getting a dog park - I dunno if they would have a problem with us meeting there or not. We wouldn't have a shelter house with electric I don't believe tho. It would be a bit farther for you Anna.
Maybe we need to Ramp up the invitation to the cat side - If Gretchen and Douglas come that's 2 people that can "foster" a dog for a day!

[Cincy'sMom]

I am sorry, but I refuse to leave one of my dogs at home. We will bring all 3 Labor Day and plead ignorance, being from out of town. After that, well....we may just never be back at the park.

There are some nice parks in Michigan...just so far away for so many. What about Southern or Eastern Ohio? Anything closer to Phred or Anna? Findaly is no nicely centralized...this stinks!!!
