I've been checking out this forum for many years now but haven't decided to join until now. I had really wanted to bring my girlfriend and our Yorkie out to our first Yorkie meet on this forum. I'm sorry to say that I have decided against it after hearing the whining that has gone on in this thread. I have seen on this forum several times a little bickering here and there, but this is the last straw for me personally. It beckons me back to high school with what I see here.

As far as the weather is concerned, it rained from about 7pm Friday night til 10am or so Saturday morning. For the rest of us to believe that the park wasn't gonna be completely muddy and sloppy is just naive. I even called a doctor friend who lives off of Madrugada in Chino Hills (about 3 blocks away from the park that the meet was supposed to be at) and he told me he had walked his Lab earlier that morning at the park and it was quite wet and muddy, especially in the grassier areas.

Maybe one day I'll come out to one of these meets. I had heard so many good things about them, but this thread soured me very much. I figured that I was going to be dealing with adults, but come to find out that there are children here who own these dogs.
