You're all invited to Kia's Birthday Party! Saturday, June 26th

[ramanth]

On Saturday, June 26th, I will be hosting Kia's 6th birthday party at Orion Oaks Bark Park in Lake Orion, MI.

Anyone and everyone is invited, even if you don't have a dog.

The Mundane Info:

Where: Orion Oaks Bark Park
When: Saturday, June 26th
Time: Roughly 1:00 p.m.

The Bark Park entrance is located on Joslyn Rd. (exit 83 off of I-75) between Waldon Rd. and Clarkston Rd.

A day or annual permit is needed to PARK in the Bark Park lot, but no permit is needed for the dogs. Day permits are sold at the Main Entrance to Orion Oaks Park on Clarkston Rd., between Baldwin and Joyslyn Rd.

I'm not sure if the 'guard' to the Bark Park lot sells day passes or not. I'll ask him next time we go.

Having a permit will not guarentee a spot in the lot. It is small and can fill up quickly, especially on nice days.

Canterbury Village is less than a mile south of the Bark Park. Andy and I have parked there and walked to the Bark Park. It's a nice walk. There is also a school parking lot just Northeast of the Bark Park entrance. I've parked there before too. We've recently been told that anyone parking in the school lot will be ticketed, but we've had no problems.

So, for those that don't want to risk that, I have no problems shuttling those that want to park at Canterbury to the Bark Park and back, if you don't want to walk.

Now to the Fun Stuff:
Orion Oaks' Bark Park offers seven fenced acres with lake access for dogs to swim, wide-open spaces, woods and fields; drinking water is available on site.

I will be providing refreshments again. If I can get a decent headcount, I'll have Frosty Paws for the pups.

All in all, just come on out and have a good time.

Note: If the weather report looks bad on Friday, I'll cancel. If you'd like my cell phone number, please PM me.

Sounds like a plan to us (of course Sunday always works better for us). We'd love to come again, we had such a great time last year

Maybe I could even Roxey to swim this year

I would LOVE TO COME but am not sure if I can, I have to work 3rd shift that nite......... I might just go without sleep. Maybe I can ride along with Diana or Amy (if they can go)..... if I can get back at a decent hour.

There's always the "other option"...

"OMG, Boss...
I just feel soooooo bad...
Can't possibly come in to work tonight...
I'll try to feel better & come in tomorrow!"

CRAP!!!!

Date change already....

Got a very "curt" email from Andy's mom stating that his cousins Graduation Party is that Sunday.

sooooo... to keep the peace, I'm going to change it to Saturday, June 26th.

I'm SO sorry if this puts a cramp in things.

[Kfamr]

I really really hope we're in Michigan early this year!!

[anna_66]

Oh darn I guess we won't be able to make it since Saturday is my big $$$ day at work.

[ramanth]

*sniffles*

I now decree that Graduation parties have to be in any month except June.

[RobiLee]

This sounds like so much fun! I wish I could go. I'm trying to figure out how far away it is. It sounds like a wonderful park.

[dukedogsmom]

Unfortunately, it's way too far for me I would love to go to one of the big meetings. Maybe I can plan for Ohio for next year. I would be willing to drive Duke up there.

[shais_mom]

eewww Curt emails are not fun!!
But I should be able to make it on Saturday.
Maybe Keegan and I can ride along with Diana or Amy if they are able to go......

[Cincy'sMom]

I doubt we will be able to make it...That Wed, Thursday, Friday nights are our dance show, Saturday I am suppose to go to a bacholrette party in Windsor, Canada and Sunday is Ralph's family reunion.

We had a blast last year and I'm really sorry we are going to miss it

[shais_mom]

Keegan and I will be there and I think my cousin and her dog Maverick is coming with us.

[heinz57_79]

Sounds wonderful! I wish I were closer, or were driving to MI to visit my parents. I would love to be there! Have a piece of cake for me, tho, ok?

[ComedyDevil]

We'd love to come! and if someone will pay for the plane to pick us up, we'll be there. Ugh. Why do you guys have to be so far away?

We all wish Kia a happy birthday though

Dont forget to post pics
