California get together

[jabear]

Sounds awesome Jenn! Can't wait til August!

[Nicole]

AWwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwww... .....I wish I could come! But, I'm in Indiana...that's really far! And, I'll be headed back to school then!

Hmm....maybe I'll have to throw a mid-west get-together!!!!!

[fuzzywzhe]

If anybody wants to meet my dogs, I'll pay for the beer and food 

[lins_saving_grace]

A midwest get-together would be AWESOME!  I am not that far from Indiana.  Ship sha wanna is about 3 hours from me.  Northern Indiana that is.

[jabear]

We'll be close enough Fuzzy so you need to come to meet us in  August...unles s you want to drive to Fresno where we are. There are lots of big dogs in you area though with very cool parents...you are lucky!

[Newf Lover]

Count me in, too!  I live in Napa Valley, about 1 1/2 hours from SF!! =)  I'm up for meeting other big dogs & their people!  Perhaps an email group should be set up so that we can just email each other directly?  
If anyone is interested in coming up here, there is a nice dog park in Napa that has a large, fenced area for off-leash play (as well as many dog-friendly hotels & restuarants) and trails for hiking!

Hey CaliPyr, what dog park are you talking about?  Allston Park in Napa?  I'm not aware of any other parks in Napa.  That's an OK dog park, but it's a mess!  There's no grass so they have to play on dirt and wood chips which usually is no big deal unless you have a long haired dog.

[CalistogaPyr]

Yes, Allston is the park I was referring to. I don't think it's that bad...consider ing that there are few alternatives for contained play in our area.  I think that people have worked hard to make the park nice for everyone, and although Bo does get dirty while she's there, she always ends up having a good time & expending some of her excess puppy energy!  Are you from the area?  If you've got a suggestion for another park, I'd love to hear about it...I'm always up for a new dog park adventure!

Hey, Lin-
 I'm like..um...I think about an hour from Shipshewanna? I'm between Chicago and South Bend.

[lins_saving_grace]

No Way!  That's pretty close.    Let me know if there is a midwest get together soon.  That would be fun.

[Nicole]

Cool, I definitely will. Who else is on here from the Midwest, do ya know?

[lins_saving_grace]

No...but I've seen a few people from Indiana.  We could post something for MIDWEST though and find out.

[Nicole]

True. Not a bad idea. Especially since I've got a great dog-beach here. Ever been to the beaches around here?

[lins_saving_grace]

No.  I do want to take the girls to the beach not too far from here though.

Being in Sonoma, we would be up for either Fort Fun or Allston Park. Is August 7 really the day?

[fcsantos]

I live in San Diego and would to get together.
