Myrtle Beach this Sunday!

[finn's mom]

Hey, everyone! Shutterbug, mruffruff, and, I are going to be meeting in Myrtle Beach this Sunday, and, I just wanted to post it in this public forum just in case there was anyone else that would be able to make it. I know it is short notice, but, we've just been talking about it for a few days ourselves. If Finn and I are even going to attempt to make it to Florida with shutterbug and Skye, we thought it would be a good idea to see if they even were going to get along! So, there's an invite if there's anyone else out there close enough to Myrtle Beach!

Me, too! That would be a heck of a journey for just a couple of hours, though! I wish there were more folks closer to this part! I wish Logan could come, too, but, she's got a heckuva month planned! Soon, though, all of us South Carolina girls will get together. And, we'll have to plan it a little more in advance so that others can travel here, too!

Yay! I'm so excited about this little meet! It will be nice to get my feet wet and teach Skye about being nice to strangers before the big trip to Florida!

Kay - just hop in the car and come on up!

I know there are a couple people in NC too (Claire and Rebel's mom - dappledoxie)....we'll have to hunt them up and bring together the Carolinas!

I sure do wish I could come, but I'm not going to be able to this time, as I explained to Kari. I hopefully can meet up with you all in Columbia at some point, or even have you come here to Greenville. I've wanted to meet Mary for years and can't believe we haven't done that already, and Kari and Shutterbug too!

Have a great time, you guys.

[mruffruff]

We will miss you, Logan.

We'd sure like to meet anyone who can make it, no matter where they come from. NC? TN? GA? Michiganders visiting the area?

We are meeting at a dog park, so pets are welcome.

Mary

We will miss you, Logan! But, soon, we'll all get together! There is a dog park here in Columbia, and, as soon as I get Finn neutered, we're going to check it out. And, maybe get us all together there!

Hey, Mary, which of your dogs are you bringing, do you know? PM if you want!

Anyone else going to be near Myrtle Beach?

Wanna give me some money? I think my dad would be more than happy to then!

Ha, as long as we're handing out money, throw some my way. Man, Kay, that would be the coolest if you could come up here!

I'm trying my best to line my own pockets for my upcoming trip But if I have any extra lying around, I'll be sure to send it to both you and Kari

You're funny. Sounds like me, trying to line my pockets!

Just wanted Kari and Mary to know that I chatted with my friend - and the best way to come from Columbia is to use I-20 west. Just follow mapquests directions until Hwy 501. You'll want to use 501 all the way into Myrtle Beach - where I will pick up and give you the directions after I scout out that route (I take a different one to the park) probably tonight or tomorrow - at the latest, Saturday morning.

Also, going to the beach is a no-go unless you can stay until after 5pm! I forgot that the beaches are closed to dogs between 9 and 5 during the summer Hopefully we'll at least go near there and "peer" over the dunes at the water.

I'm going to bring some treats for the furkids and pack a cooler with some drinks. I can put some fruit in there too if you want?!?! Just let me know

I'm so excited for Sunday! My first official "meeting"! Yay!!!!

[finn's mom]

Ah, that stinks about the beach. I know they had signs like that up at Folly Beach, but, there were lots of dogs (on and off leash) running around. It's probably different at Myrtle, though, being more popular. But, we'll play it by ear. I'm really hoping that either my brother and/or my niece will come with me. Just for human company on the road. Thanks for the adjusted directions, just be sure to let us know after that. I'll have my dad's cell phone, so, we'll have a way to keep in contact. I'm very excited! I found out that Finn's appointment to get neutered isn't until the 28th, I hope he does ok! He's never really had too many issues, but, he does fall in love sometimes.

Sure, just bring whatever your heart desires. I'm packing a small cooler for myself and Finn as well. I'm sure I'll have plenty of fruits and veggies for he and I both!

[finn's mom]

Well, it's just after six, and, I'm awake, ugh. I'm excited about driving out to Myrtle Beach, and, I'll be posting photos tonight some time.....see you soon, Mary and Judy!
