SoCal YT Meet-up – SATURDAY, April 26 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sukoshi's Mom · 04-14-2008, 07:06 AM

Hello all SoCal YT members (or members who will be in the area at the time of the meet-up)! We are having our next SoCal YT meet-up SATURDAY, April 26th. This month, we're meeting at Ford Park in Redlands. We've chosen this month's location for our more inland members, so I hope a bunch of you can join us who have never been able to attend in the past. For those of you who are farther west, maybe we can work out carpools to save on gas. Regardless, I hope we have a GREAT turnout, as this is so much fun for our babies (and us humans have a darn good time as well

)! I've included the details below, so pencil us onto your calendars

:

Who: EVERYONE!!!!
What: Monthly Meet-up (and picnic lunch)
When: Saturday, April 26th (Time: 11:00 am)
Where: Ford Park, Redlands, CA

Directions: The park is located on University and Colton, across from the University of Redlands auditorium. Exit off the #10 freeway at University and go north. The park is 3 blocks from the freeway exit.

We're also planning a picnic lunch at this month's meet-up! Please bring a sandwich or something for yourself, as well as something to share with the group. It may be helpful if you post here what you're bringing so we don't have too many duplicates, but anything you can manage will be appreciated!

And as another "selling point" of this month's meet-up, Dee will be there with at least 1 of her Biewers, so for those of you who have never seen a beautiful Biewer in person, now is your chance

. Also, Lisa (s13silviagirl) will finally be back from Japan and able to join us, so come help us give her a warm welcome back to the states!!!

I hope to see you all there!!!!!

OMG! Brownies sound SO GOOD right now!!!!!!!!! Now Lauren is REALLY going to be bummed she has to miss this month!!!!!!!!

laurenr · 04-14-2008, 08:11 AM

Argh! Biewers, chocolate, USA from Japan returnees, Mango's BFF's........... this just totally blows!!

I sooooo want to be there, but Mango's car sickness issues are an ongoing thing. I'll sure miss you guys! Just make sure you post tons of pictures, so that I can enjoy the picnic and babies vicariously through them.

Might be hard, but maybe you could come without the carsick dog? Better yet, have you tried all the remedies--we used to give a half a baby benadry and not feeding and it worked for us.

They do out grow it....

I am really excited to see all of you on the 26th!!

Sunnie · 04-14-2008, 11:40 AM

you can also give a piece of Ginger snap cookie 20 minutes before you leave. Ginger works and is a natural remedy. worked for mine

That's a good idea Dee! I'm sure Lauren would NEVER want to come without Mango, but it's better than missing out on the fun entirely...right

?!?!?!?

Lauren - You could take your pick - Sukoshi or Tanuki. I'll let you adopt one of them for the day so you have a baby at the meet-up too

!!!

Bobby and I would really like to participate in this meetup. This would be our first one. How does it work? Do the babies have to be leashed? Or is there an area for them to run and play?

RONLYNN · 04-14-2008, 03:16 PM

I can bring a big chicken/veggie pasta salad for everyone to share. Also, I went to Huntington Beach (to the dog beach) this weekend all day with some friends and Teddi had a blast! We set up an umbrella and a blanket for her to lay int he shade when she wanted to be out of the sun and it was a hit with other dogs too. I think we should have a beach meet up some time so all the yorkies can run around and play...there were a lot of yorkies down there this weekend.

We'd LOVE to have you and Bobby join us! It's very simple. Everyone who has an exercise pen (x-pen) brings it, and we hook the x-pens together so there is a big play area set up for the babies, but they're contained in there, so there's no need for a leash. Then, while the babies run and play IN the x-pen, us humans chat and laugh at them! You WILL want a leash in case you want to take Bobby on a walk (sometimes the mommies/daddies walk the babies for a potty break, but most of them just go in the x-pen area, and we pick it up), but that's it

! It's a good time!

scrapindee · 04-15-2008, 11:04 AM

I'm sure that Lauren can adopt one of Team Furry for the day too.

I will bring chips and dips and cheeses for munching.

I will bring probably Itzi, Cruiser and maybe Abbi. The puppies will be 6 weeks old--don't think I want them out yet....

There are some really huge shade trees to sit under ....hope I can get out there and and "reserve" the big tree.

laurenr · 04-15-2008, 12:17 PM

Aaaw guys

.... you have no idea how much I would want to be there. Thank you so much for all those suggestions, but it still won't work for me, even without my Mango. On that particular day, I could not be gone from my house for that many hours due to other obligations.

Dee, please try and make it to the next meetup. I was getting so excited to meet you and an actual Biewer in person (I've never seen one, except in pics). Lisa, at least I can console myself with a playdate with the girls before then.

You guys have to take tons of pictures and share them....
Hugs,
Lauren

Delilah and I would love to come, but Redlands is a bit far for us. She has not been in the car for more than 1/2 hour at a time. So, if the next meet-up isn't as far, and I don't miss the posting, we REALLY want to go! Delilah is 10 months now and nobody from this site has seen her in person yet! ARGGH!
