First, it's in a little strip mall to the left of Target, behind Cotton Patch Cafe and next to Dunlaps. It's a nice, clean, bright place. There's a long hallway you go down, then through some glass doors. There's the boutique, reception desk and grooming room with a big window. I didn't see any cage dryers at all. I spoke to Kim and her mother, Molly. They are really nice and told me that they will be there on Saturday. We've scheduled Gizmo to be groomed there that morning before the meetup.

In the back there are three rooms. The romper room (bigger dogs), the toy box (smaller dogs) and the gym (overflow when they are crowded). We are going to be in the gym. It's a big, bright, clean room. There will be a small table in there, but I'm not sure it will be big enough for even the food. The way I see it, we will need about two more tables. Does anyone have card tables they can bring? Unfortunately, I don't have any. They said they have maybe six folding chairs, so we will still need to bring our own. They only have a bathroom area for us to clean up, but I'm sure they can let us use the employee area if we really need it. She has asked that children be with an adult whenever they are out of the gym area. This is for their safety as sometimes they have larger dogs that are very playful or owners with unknown dogs coming in for evaluation. We have also been asked to stay out of the daycare area, but she'll show us all of that when we get there. There is a little grassy outside area we can take the pups, but there are some burrs out there. One area is better and she can show us that too. When we leave that door, we need to carefully prop it open some since it will lock you out if you're not careful.

Here's the cool part! We have scheduled the gym from 1-3, but if we go over time, it's not a problem. They will be open until 5 for the daycare part. They will also have the webcam in the gym up and running! lol It will come online at 2pm central time, so our friends on YT can peek at our meetup!

You can also see the gym if you go to the Dogtopia Waco site and look at the cam for the gym.

Summary -
-bring chairs
-need two tables
-children need to be with an adult whenever they leave the meetup room
-the webcam will come on at 2pm

Any questions?
