We should have a east Coast BPO get together

[lilysmom]

Sounds fun, but I am in NC not sure how far Maryland is from here.

Where in NC?  Some places are as close as 3 hours from the DC area.  I can look up good dog parks in the area if you want me to.

Thanks for all the response. I think
1. We should come up with a central location. so if we all either post our location or pm me a can figure out one. I want it to be fair for evryone who wants to come.
2. Come up with a date and time. I agree saterday is great and also the afternoon would be best to give everyone time to travel. As for dates, I'm free on Oct 22or 29 or Nov 19.
3. We should also figure out how many people would like to stay the night, we might be able to get a discount on hotel rooms if we have enough.
4. Should we have a cook out while we are together? We could all bring something and then we would be so hunger after traveling all that way.
5. I also thought we could also have a contest for things like: who drove the farthest to get there. Who broght the most dogs and things like that for fun.

These are just some of the ideas I have had, I hope i have not stepped on any toes. I'm getting really excited about meeting everyone. Just let me know what youall think. And if you have any other ideas. i am willing to do as much of the work as I can to help get this to happen.


Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I have not been able to get back on the internet sense I posted this.

Hey! We're in Philadelphia suburbs and may be interested in getting together with some Big Paw friends!!  Let us know if anything comes together.  10/22 is out for us but I think the other dates are good! 
(Oh and can little paws come too?  We have two Cairn Terriers who would hate to miss the fun!!)

I'm in Westminster, Maryland (just north of Baltimore)  Nov. 19th would be the best for me I can not do the 22nd or 29th.  I definitely think it should be pot luck I think that will be the easiest.  I'd be happy to help out with any of the planning just let me know.

I think our whole family should be weclome. I'm keeping track of where everyones from and dates that are good so we can figure this out.

Titan and I would love to find some play mates of his size and temperament. We live in Wareham Ma right near Cape Cod.
We may be able to join the big one if I can get the Saturday off.
I will keep checking in on this one.

I  live in Nashua NH.  The cook out sounds like a good idea.  I have issues with a Potluck just because it'll be like an 8 hour drive for me (Not that I mind!) and anythign I bring will be, well icky.  If we do a cook out I can get stuff from a local grocery store to bring.

Moni you can't ride with me EVER!  Your dog has bad gas and my dog of course has none   (Of course you can sweety.  You nut job!)

[doglover]

I think there are two ways to pick a location
1. Pick a point in the middle if the farthest people such as plot everyones location and pick a spot in the exact middle of everyone.

2. Pick the most central point to the major of the poeple that are coming. So if most of the people are say from PA then it would be there (just an example)

Just let me know which everyone perfers.

I was also thinking meeting at a park would be a great location.

just let me know

We will need things like buns, plates and stuff, so the people driving the farthest can bring stuff like that, so no icky stuff.

Before the actual get together we can figure what everyone is going to bring.

I'm on Aberdeen Proving Grounds, an hour south of philadelphia in Maryland.  What can I bring?  We need dog friendly hotels.  I think Red roof gives group discounts and allows pets.  The 19th is def. good.  Oct, not so good.  Oooh, I'm getting excited.

note: edited to include the state I live in.  Duh.
