Thanks for posting this. I am hoping to go.

Long's Park is only 15 minutes away from my house. Does that mean that you can't attend unless you have pledge's or pledge $25.00? It's for a very good cause though.

That's what it sounds like, but I'm not sure.

I guess it depends on each store, and if you have them in a carrier, which doesn't work for me since my boys are too big for a carrier. But I allways take my boys into the Coach outlet, and of course they are wearing their Coach collars accompanied with their Coach leashes so they don't seem to mind them being in there.

Once we stopped by the offices of one of them (The Rockvale ones, I believe... the one that has Coach, Jcrew, and Polo) and asked if Britney and Brooklyn could walk around outside and we were told yes. We didn't take that in that many stores.. only ones we were invited into.

Tanger is the side with the Coach, the only good stores on the Rockvale side is Pottery Barn and Sony.

I really think I am going to go to that. I hate to ask people for money, the way the economy is, even though it's for a great cause. So I'll just pay the $25 pledge. Will have to try and see how we all can meet-up that day.

[grayxie]

Hmmm....maybe we can all wear the same color shirt or something, and if you see someone in that specific color with a yorkie we can say hi. Or feel like an idiot if they aren' t a member of YT LOL!

[LilDiddyBear]

I should be easy to spot... I'll be the short girl who can't control her wild 10 lb. Yorkie

Diddy will be walking me

I hope more YTers can go. It would be fun to have a little meet up.

You too! We rarely take Rudy for a walk since we have part of our yard fenced in. Maybe Diddy & Rudy are long lost relatives somehow.
