I am working on recall, I really am, it's just sloooow going and not going to be fixed in two months :(

Honestly, with this park you wouldn't be causing trouble. Almost everyone has toys and treats because no one is just standing around and moving. I can't remember the last time I went without treats or a toy! I know that's like the law at some parks, but not this one with the way it's set up!

Also, I don't know if it helps at all but on one side of the path is water (no where to go) 80% of the timevand the other side, the path is kinda sheltered, so dogs tend to not wander off that easily because of the way it's configured.

Always your call but I don't want you not coming if it's as simple as bringing treats!

I always have treats on me...

You would not cause any trouble by bringing treats...all the dogs may really like you though :D

Like Linds mentioned the path we walk is often bordered on one side by water and the other side by dense vegetation... When we stop is is usually for the dogs to play at small beaches.
 
Ohhhhh....... I actually have nothing planned for that weekend. O.O

I'd probably bring the puppy and one of the dobes... maybe Kaylee, she's got the best recall.

DARN IT NOW I'M TEMPTED.

YES DO IT
Kaylee!!!
 
IF I come, I'd probably have to share a hotel with someone especially since I'll need $40 just to get my dogs into the park!

I hope I can swing this, guys. It'll be SO much fun, and a great experience for Seren. :)
 
Right now, I'm tentatively saying YES.

However... what do I do about rabies tag for Seren? She won't have Rabies vax by then, so no tag. O.o
 
If anyone doesn't have a fax machine and they want me to get their day passes for them just message me!
 
If my little brother and his girlfriend can take time off and go with me then I will go.. Just don't wanna go alone :) but there would be no Laika unless I bring her muzzle as she is very dog selective and SSA
 
I really need to meet Dobes and Border Collies and Finns....

Just Sayin'

I'll be full of toys and treats... the park is totally allowing of that. And balls... oh my there are so many balls. Everyone steals everyone's balls and all is well in the world. :cool:
 
Okay okay if I can bring treats...I'll just keep working extra hard on recall and see what happens. I want to go so badly and meet everyone and all their cool dogs.

Maybe Finn will see all these awesome dogs playing with their owners in public and he will be jealous and start doing it./wishful thinking
 
It's official, I'm coming. Bringing Kaylee and Seren. Apparently 15 week old Ibizan Hounds are like malinois puppies at this age, so I don't foresee her having trouble keeping up. ;)

I'm rooming with a Chaz lurker who is coming down with Icies.... soo.... you all should come. :)

GABI!?

Yesssssss.
 
You guys are making me sad I'm not going lol. Every year in say I'll go the next year... aaaaand I never do!
 
Would bringing a soccer ball be a good idea? U guys say it's all trails is there open space for kicking it around... U no if I do go (bro doesnt no if he can get off work)
 
Okay, put me down as a definite!

We'll be leaving after Cory gets off work on Thursday, so we'll be there about 1 AM Friday morning. Not sure what we're doing for hotel yet, but we'll figure that out. We'll spend all Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday there.

What are everyone else's plans? Is anyone meeting up on Friday and Sunday?
 
Wooohooo!!

Ok, convinced Sizzle and Paige to come. Who do I need to tackle next?

I'll be here all three days :p So if anyone wants to do anything any of them I'll be up for it. And weather permitting we'll have a BBQ at my house after on Saturday with Beer Frisbee!
