Toronto Zoo meeting, 6/24-6/25/06

[lv4dogs]

We have a date set so I figure we should open a new thread with that as the title, maybe it will draw more people to it!

Jess & I are planning a meet-up at the Toronto Zoo for the weekend of June 24 & 25 2006.

If you want to come a day early or stay a day late that is fine too. I will most likely stay 4 days (fri-mon) as I would like to see some other attractions, like the Falls & the like.

We want to let everyone know that EVERYONE is welcome, friends, family, it doesn't matter. If you would like you can post your own thread in a different community & ask other pet lovers if they would want to meet up as well. This would be such a great way to meet people you might not of otherwise met. Jess is asking some people from her community as I have asked others from a ferret community and I will also be posting this on my LJ.

I am thinking if we can get enough people together it would probably be wise to reserve hotel rooms. If there are enough people that will need a room maybe we can get a small group discount? Or at least share a room?

Come on folks this will be a great time!

Its about a 2.5 hour drive, maybe 3 hours from Rochester. That is to the general Toronto area, I'm not exactly sure where the zoo is located, it may be a little closer or further.

I hope your schedule allows. Will you be going to school on the weekends?

[sandragonfly]

thanks! hmm, not too bad.

no, no classes during the weekends but finals..?

actually, also if others' schedules allow too, if I could have someone feed, love my furrangels at home. my dear crayola, is permitted to go in the ZOOs & motels (without their permission) with me but I wouldn't want to bring him in the ZOO as he could scare the other animals around him. I tell ya, animals have the best smelling sense! well, a wonder, any other of you thought bringing yours too? (not a doggie-motel?)

I hope I can find catsitters I trust.. otherwise, I'll suffer this fact - one day of fun! ..

Oh we have already looked that up for you. The zoo offers a doggie day care that is ONLY for service dogs! They watch them for you while you visit the zoo, they will even have a special tour guide for you if you need one.

I was going to bring Kaige, but since he's not a service dog the Zoo would not watch him, and you are not allowed to leave animals unattended at the motels. So my mother will be watching my critters for me that weekend.

Gina, I emailed the Toronto Zoo to get even more info, on where Crayola will be kept, but it is in an A/C building, they will walk, potty, water & feed the service dogs.

If you have any questions I will call the Toronto Zoo as I have free Canadian & USA phone calls (unlimited time to MUAHAHAHAAA).
