Angie, if you come to the one in May (the Memorial Day weekend one, Paul and I will be there, and we'd love to meet you and your doggies. We won't be bringing any dogs (and Miss Hoppy stays home to guard the house) so we're free to mingle with whomever! Sorry you had a not-great time, and it's always up to you, but the invitation IS open. For a second or so, I wondered if we'd feel out of place with no dogs as our responsibility, but we were made quite welcome even before I opened the Pupperoni.
