HUSKY HIKE, Oct. 7, Ohio

[cyber-sibes]

Hello everydog! Time for the Husky Hike to help homeless huskies! Any dog can participate, but they do suggest med - lg. size, please, as we huskies have a notorious prey drive and no one wants "Tiny" to spark a riot! There will also be lunch (yeah!)- sometimes humans share their food, but don't count on it. Plenty of games - (perhaps Bowser will once again win the hot dog eating contest, or Star will be Queen of Musical Hoops again) Also a silent auction of cool husky stuff & other items.

Click the link Mom put in our logo for more info!
Hope to see you there!
Here's a "group shot" of PT's finest that attended last year:

I Can't wait!!

Oh good, Phred. We were hoping you'd make it! JoJoe may sit out the hiking part, depending on how his knee is - it's been acting up. I think Anna & Roxey are planning on coming, anybody heard for sure? Amy & Ralph - sure hope you can make it - it was fun last year - beautiful time of year for a long walk in the woods! Remember everyone - cameras And extra $$ for the auction -lots of cool stuff. By the way, Phred, did you ever "collect" on that portrait you won from Amy? And it will be wonderful to finally meet Angie & Sierra!

[pitc9]

And it will be wonderful to finally meet Angie & Sierra!

Yes, I know... I don't get out much!

Sierra is going to be jumping out of her skin with excitment!
She'll be "Wooing" up a storm!!
I will unfortunetly be sad leaving Bud at home alone but I don't have a choice.
Hey... maybe I'll attach a picture of Buddy to Sierra's collar! This way he WILL be with us!!
Can't wait till Saturday!!

Thanks for the Map Phred!!

Of course Roxey and I will be there along with our friend Jennifer and her girl Cayenne and her foster Dakota.

Looking forward to seeing you all Saturday

[pitc9]

Yippee Anna and Roxey!! I can't wait!
My gosh... what was it... 3 or 4 years ago that I came to the Bark Park?
Wow!! Time Flies!!!
Sierra is going to be in Heaven, she had so much fun with Roxey!

[mugsy]

Sounds like another PT meeting in the making!! Have fun all!

Few questions....

1. Do you have to pre-register, or can we just show up?
2. What time are people getting there?


I'm hoping to come, but it would must likely just be me and pups. Ralph has rehearsal and then will probably help his dad on his garage.

Amy, click the "HERE for info" in my siggy - it takes you to the site. Scroll down to the yellow boxes and click on "print a brochure" - read the whole brochure, it tells you all the activities and events. There 's a map at the bottom of one page, and a form to print out for registration & pledges. The pre-registration is closed, but you can register that morning. The hike is at 11:30, registration begins at 9:30. Both breakfast & lunch are provided (I think that includes those who register that day too). The silent auction was fun last year - lots of interesting stuff. They will also have boxes for donated items, doesn't have to be new, just in good condition. Oh - 6' leashes only - no flexi leashes are allowed. There is also a phone number to call for info printed on the brochure.
As far as what time to get there - I don't know, we just all sort of met there last year a little before the hike. There are several tables with various items & info to browse through, so there are things to do while waiting for the hike. We will probably get there by 10:30. I'll pm you my cell # in case you want to call. Looking forward to seeing you!

[pitc9]

Pat, I am going to PM you my cell phone number, would you please PM me yours so I can find you when I get there!

Hope everyone has a safe trip and we'll see you all tomorrow
