May 25 Findlay Dog Park...Be There! Please!

[Cincy'sMom]

Not in the lake!! I've smelled that water!!

Last time I think it would work out to about $2.70/person.

The rental fee for the shleter is $30. We can see how many people are ableto makeit and then divide it evenly. I have to share the funds with Phred theough..he was very kindly gotten me the money to pay for one rental, so half wil go back to him!

Here's the Deal on the Findlay / Hancock Parks Dog Park Permit...

The Dawgs are supposed to have a *Permit Card* issued by Hancock Parks to be allowed into the BarkPark area. The Permit Fee is only $10.00 per year (December through December - 13 months) for up to three dogs. Well worth the price even if you only plan to visit a few times!

To obtain the Permit - send an E-mail to:
Hancock Parks ( [email protected] )
and ask them to Mail you the "RiverBend Dog Park Application Form". Cut off the Return Part at the bottom, fill it in and *sign* the release/waiver on the back, and gather the Dog(s) current Vaccination & Rabies Receipts...
I made a copy of their last Vet receipt (shows the Vaccs they got), copy of their Rabies Vacc Certificates, and threw in for good measure a copy of their County Licenses; together with a check for $10.00. We got our lil Permit Card back in less than a week.

A "Note:"
Don't sweat the Permit if you think you might only be "visiting" once or twice! The Very Nice Park Ranger I talked to (before we came) said they do NOT hassle folks - and a couple *visitors* surrounded by multiple permit holders would NOT be a problem. He did stop by, late on Sunday, to say "Hello"... and never even mentioned wanting to *see* anyone's permit. And the permit has no names or numbers of Dogs on it ~ so between the current permit holders, we've got "spaces" for probably almost 30 Dawggies!

I suggested to Amy that we could put a coffee can out by the food for BarkPark Donations ~ folks who don't want to go through the permit process can toss a couple bucks in the can and we'll send that as a donation to the BarkPark Volunteers.

As for the Phred's Fambly "contributions" to the Cause... We'll leave that in the *pot* to kick off the June/July "Gathurin".

May 25th, that's my Abby's BIRFDAY!!!!! She'd luv to go, but since I'm only 14, I can't take her. Boy she would LOVE to go though.

I just returned from the PA PetTalk meeting and had soooo much fun & my Badger was sooo mellow and was the star of the show - just ask him so I'm really going to try to make this meet. Will need to find a PetFriendly hotel/motel if I bring Badger again. 8 hr drive might be too much for the lad though so I'll decide for sure as the time gets closer.

Hope you guys have fun! And be sure to take lots of pictures.

Clyde is only an hour from Findlay!!!

Me thinks we need to have another Findlay Dog Park meeting that weekend.

[Cincy'sMom]

AGGHHH!!! We may be in Michigan that weekend for a Freestlye competetion!!! I don't know for sure yet though, cause we haven't worked on anything in about 2 mos And we may only be there one day....

We'll have to try to work something out!!!

[shais_mom]

Ack!
I have to work that weekend, but we could come late!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Terry and I will be there - sans T & P.

However, we will have the motorhome, which has a refrigerator, so if anyone is bringing anything to eat that requires good refrigeration we'll have it.

Can't wait to meet everybody! Just wish T & P could come too. Tubby would adore meeting everybody - even all the doggies....I think. One time when I took him to the vet, somebody had a medium size dog on a leash. Tubby was sitting on my lap. The dog came over to sniff Tubby - but not too close because the owner kept him back a bit, and all Tubby did was reach his nose out to get a good sniff too. No hissing or spitting like I expected. Peanut, however, would be terrified the entire time, so she cannot come, which means Tubby has to stay home and babysit his sister. They have never been apart for more than an hour for the last 14 years, so I don't think it would be a good idea to take T for the weekend and leave P home alone.

But Terry and I will be there!
