This is tempting.

I love that park so much, the boys had a blast last time, and I don't have any activities planned for that weekend yet.

Uh yes.

There's also an AKC agility trial in Naperville...and a CPE trial closeby, I think. I'm tempted to skip the wedding a do a day of agility on Sunday...

Crap! I think this may be the weekend of the Kalamazoo confo cluster.

 

[k9krazee]

Would May 16-17th weekend work for anyone??

 

[Picklepaige]

Any weekend in May would work for me!

If you don't come I'm going to beat you up.

If they switch the dates I won't be able to go. So just keep that in mind when you make your plans.... maybe Rick can be the 2nd driver?

I'm only going if you're going.

Awwww, don't do that. You should still go and have fun! I just can't make the other weekend bc I have my graduation.

 

[meepitsmeagan]

I think we are ok! It is apparently the 21st-25th.

Strange dates, but works for me!

Okay, okay! I won't switch dates! XD Just pondering other options and that May 16th weekend suddenly became free in my schedule.

I'd love to come, and meet all of you(and I've consirdred coming).. But, I feel like it'd be awkard if I came, and didn't have a dog.

Or... Maybe it's just me.

You can help wrangle mine. I only have 2 arms and will need at least three balls thrown at a time...

 

[Julee]

You can Chuckit Emmy for me. My arms want to fall off after a while.

After thinking about it, I don't think I'm going to go after all

I just know that we will drive for 10 hours to get there, then spend the entire time following Finn around this massive dog park because he will not stay with us. We went on a walk this past weekend with other people and dogs (he was on a long line) and the entire time he was following his nose and paying no attention to where the people and other dogs were going, and I was constantly having to "reel him in". He just doesn't have any sense of staying with the group.

Boo.

I have thought about going to this... Actually the other 2 years as well but just seems like it would be way to awkward going somewhere to see a bunch of people I don't no :/

Awww...

Bringing good treats and having him check back with you for rewards doesn't work?

We would really all love it if you came

You should totally come...there will be more than enough dogs to go around for everyone

Look at it this way the first time all of us that have been going the last few years did this most of us had never met and only talked online...and it was great fun.

It is so awesome to get to see the chaz dogs and to actually chat with the folks face to face

He will usually stay with me if I have treats and call his name, but I didn't want to cause any problems with the other dogs, as some dogs might be resource guarders.

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

Also fairly certain Sirius would steal all of the balls

I don't know half the people going!
