Utah~Strut Your Mutt~May 19, 2007

[dab_20]

I can bring plates and napkins.

Does my mom have to register to be able to come to the picnic?

[wolf_Q]

I could swear there are picnic tables somewhere in the trees by the river...not by the pond, but its been a year since I've been there so I really don't remember. We'll figure something out.

Kay we can all stop at a store the night before and pick up stuff, there's certainly no lack of wal-marts around here lol. I just need to remember to get a cooler and hope it stays cool enough in the car until then.

Danielle, no your mom won't have to register, its just the area with the booths that they check your wristband to get in, anyone can go to the park without registering. By the time we have a picnic it will be pretty much over anyway.

[Kfamr]

Hm.. would it be easier if we all went to a Subway or something and ordered our own sandwhiches, chips, etc? That way we don't have to worry about tempatures of foods, what types of meat everyone likes, etc.

[Vela]

That's not a bad idea Kay. I can either bring picnic items or help with subway stuff if yall need. How do we want to work it? I'm definitely down for the picnic, they just wont let Soda into Strut your Mutt because she won't be 4 months yet. I will PM you all my cell phone number if you need/want to call to set things up! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! And I'm bringing my camera! (If I don't forget).

I can pick up cookies or desserts, or help out with picking up food while there.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I just found out I got a sub, so I am coming for sure!

My husband wants to come, too, so we are going to leave on Friday afternoon after he gets off work, and won't get there till late. So, we would like to meet you at Strut Your Mutt. Is there a good place to do so?

Also, Eric may not walk with us as Adele and Vallis (we will be bringing all three along now) are not at ease (well Vallis is, but he barks, a lot ) in large groups of dogs...but maybe he could get the picnic set up.

Any suggestions on where is a good spot to meet?

[Vela]

I'm not walking either due to Soda being too young so I'd be happy to help set up the picnic as well and just hang out with anyone else not walking. Maybe we can do a food run or something while everyone else is walking, my husband may come along as well, if he's feeling okay that day.

[Vela]

I just realized Soda has puppy class that day from 11:30-12:30, but I can leave it somewhat early and meet you guys about 12:45 for a picnic. I also have a Subway right here by my house so if some of you want to tell me what you'd like I can pick it up and bring it with me. Just send me a PM or call my cell and let me know. I think I PMd my number to both Kay and Danielle but if anyone else needs it let me know.

What time is the walk due to be over, do you guys know?

[Kfamr]

Amy is outside with the dogs, but I'll ask her when she comes back in.

We were thinking of maybe we can all pitch in and you can pick up some pizzas instead of trying to figure out what everyone wants from Subway?

[Kfamr]

Amy said that the event ends sometime around 12:30-ish, we can meet up around 1:00ish.

We drew a map as to where we can meet.

Amy thinks there's picnic table somewhere in the trees between the pond and event booths.

[Vela]

Okay that sounds great, then I wont have to miss much of her class either, just swing over and get pizzas and cracker, but petco is 2 minutes from my house and so are either pizza place, 5 minutes.

Pizza places usually open at 11 so that should be good,

Pizza Hut or Dominos?

Lets make a list of who likes what and what sizes everyone wants and I'll get those.

Anyone who is coming, please list what pizza you like and put them up here.

I'll buy all the pizza if some others want to bring drinks, plates, cups, cookies etc?

[Kfamr]

Either is fine for me - whichever is cheaper.
We estimate around 10 people in our group.
Maybe 2 pepperoni, 1 cheese, 1 supreme?

Here's the "menu" ~ If anyone else wants to add something, feel free...

Main Dish ~
Pizza (Vela)

Others/sides~
Cookies (wolf_Q)
Cookies/desserts (cmayer31)

Drinks ~
Water & sodas (Kfamr)

Plates, Napkins, etc ~

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Are we going to meet there before Strut Your Mutt? Should we meet around 9:30?

The picnic sounds like a good idea. I can bring a side dish (a non refrigerated item) like chips or crackers. We might have some time to pick up some salad, too.

Could we also request another vegetarian pizza? Cheese is fine, but my husband and I are vegetarians so that's all we can eat.

What about for the pups? I'll try to make some yummy dog treats and bring those along, too. How many dogs are we going to have in all?

[wolf_Q]

The walk begins at 9:15 so we'll have to meet up before that. I think I usually get there around 8:30. If people haven't pre-registered they'll need time to register, plus you have to check in (get your prizes, etc.) I think before the strut we could meet up at the Dog Pack check-in booth. We should all be together after the Strut so I think it's just Vela that will need to find us near the pond then we'll find our way to a picnic table. If we find the picnic tables before that someone could call her and let her know where that is.

Are you staying at the campground Jill? You'll want to give yourself at least 45 minutes to get to the park from there. Dog total...I think 12? (Nebo, Keva, Mufasa, Kiara, Cisco, Frankie, Marta, Adele, Vallis, Cracker, Soda, Molli...did I miss anyone?)

[Vela]

Okay sounds good, I can add a vegetarian on there as well, I also like those.

1 vegetarian
2 pepperoni
1 cheese
1 supreme

If I go to Pizza Hut do you guys prefer pan pizza or a thinner crust? I don't have a preference myself.

Sounds great to have some dog treats too.

I wish the'd let Soda in! =( I'd skip her class and go to the whole thing but I don't want to leave her out, she's my baby! Well, and I can't pick up pizza at 9 a.m. anyway LOL so it works out fine.

Danielle if you and your mom want any other kinds of pizza just let me know, I'm happy to pick up anything else too. That goes for anyone else too who may have a different preference. I can buy medium sized if you want another kind and they often have specials as well.


LOL, I just realized that it ought to be interesting trying to carry pizzas and dogs...can I call you guys when I get there and maybe someone can come help me carry the pizza from the parking? I have Kay's cell number and Danielle's in my phone right now so I can just quick call. I can see cracker going one direction, soda going the other, and me balancing pizza on my head=x
