We should have a east Coast BPO get together

[doglover]

I sure hope it's a yes .

Ok I need some help if we want the key to the bathroom for the get together.

Let me explain 1st: If we want the key to the bathroom at the park we have to put a $20 deposit down which is no problem but it has to be picked up on  friday Nov 18 before 3:30 pm.

What I need is someone who lives close who is willing to go pick up the key and put the $20 deposit down and also return the key the next (you will get your deposit back when the key is returned.

I would do this but that is too far for me to drive 3 times in a one weeks time.

Let me know if you can get help with this. Otherwise we will have to leave the park to use the restroom . I know this would be ok for a lot of people but I have a 3 year old who is potty trained but not trained to hold it for a long time . (I guess that comes with time)

The lady at the park department did say there is a museum that we can use the bathroom at that is close by if we have to do this.

Thanks for any help that you can give.

I'm so excited to meet everyone!

We'll bring a dessert. 

Any developements on a hotel in the area?  Sorry but we can't help with the bathroom - although I agree - it would be very very nice to have one at the park to use. 

Looking forward to it!

Maybe I missed this but what time are we meeting up?  Are we meeting at the offleash part or the pavillion?  Oh and also which pavillion are we in?

[gerry]

Wish I could be there, unfortunately it's too far and have too much going on.  I know my puppies would have enjoyed it.  Hope that everyone has a great time.   Posting a few new pics.

aww, you have such gorgeous dogs!

[Rachel]

Great pics!  They are so cute.

We had not decided. There is only one pavillion they told me. I have the permit is from 12 - 6 pm so anytime. What do you all think.

1. What time should we meet?

2. Where should we meet?

I teach piano lessons in the morning so I wouldn't be able to leave my house till around 11am which would put me there around 1pm.

I think maybe it would be better for the dogs to meet on leash just in case...  We'll know right away who will get along with who. And hopefully it will not be Sophie picking on everyone.

Actually it's better for them to meet offleash.  Reason being that a dog on leash has lost it's "Flight" option when stressed so the only thing left is "Fight".   Just my experience. 

As for when and where........ Moni and I are gonna be driving all night so we're gonna go to the hotel first.  (There is a hotel right?)  For us to wake up and drive down in the morning to be there in the afternoon just isn't feasible.  But we don't have to meet up right away.  1 sounds good.  So all the travelers have time to settle and such.  Also, are we planning anything for the weekend or is it just gonna be the one day?

i'm working on the hotel. Some i have called said Great Danes were to big, so I'm still looking.

[doglover]

I have one hotel that I am call back tomorrow to talk to the manager who was not there today. That was the Rodeway Inn.

The Comfort Inn - 2 dogs Max $71.99 with a $20 pet fee. Large dogs ok

Quality Inn- no max number of dogs $62.99 No large dogs i.e great danes

Best western- dogs under 75 lbs $20 pet fee

I have called many others and they either only allow small dogs or only 1 dog. I have a few others that I'm calling tomorrow.

I just what to let you know I have been looking. 

[RottiesNY]

I would like to say that I stay at comfort inns when I travel and never have problems with my dogs. Also note that if you happen to be a state ( any state ) or government employee you get a nice discount. I think ( don't quote me ) it winds up costing about $55 -$60 with the pet charge included.  Better call ahead just to make sure. 



 Strange question but here goes... Do you think that many big dogs in the same place are going to get along ? I sure would like to bring my boy Dylan but he is a little strange at times. I worry about a fight breaking out.
