I love doing this and I wish you weren't so busy. Missy, Kaji, and yes their humans miss you guys! Remember Scruffy (Bryan)? He passed away and they now have a new dog. He's so cute! He will just melt in anyone's arms. He's such a ham.

I'm constantly looking for playgroups, maybe I'll host a small potluck at my place and have the babies over.

WTF "Brian" passed away??? From what?

Here's some pics of our past meetups. You might recognize some of the furbutts in these pics.

I love the last one. Kaji is telling Sonny a secret.

I don't know why people think its hilarious...its fun for the babies and mommies! I used to go to meetups with YT people but most of them are no longer members.

I would be interested in joining your group, because I'm in your area and I miss seeing other yorkies. Could Wobie and I attend the next meet up?

Anna Banana · 11-19-2010, 07:30 PM

Oooh that was my 3000th post!

How did that hap pen?

capt_noonie · 11-19-2010, 07:37 PM

Sure! Where in CA are you? I am in Orange county, and Dvlshangel and adi-and-missy are in LA. I haven't seen anyone in a while since I've been working so much, so they promised me they'd come down here sometime.

btw, yeah 3000th post!

Britster · 11-19-2010, 07:38 PM

I don't know... I mean, around here, I've never really had anyone make fun of me for going to the dog park or having Jackson in agility classes. But I don't go around telling people about it necessarily either. Like, honestly, nobody in my family nor my closest friends (except my real-life YT friends) even know about YorkieTalk, LOL. I don't know, I just don't tell them. haha. My family and friends know I do the dog park weekly and stuff though!

RachelandSadie · 11-19-2010, 07:41 PM

what!?!?!?! a dog play group....must be a bunch of silly old dog ladies with nothing else to do with themselves!!!

i LOVE doggie play groups and doggie daycare used to be the highlight of Bentley and Sadie's week. they love to see their friends, and believe me the dogs that came every day got to be quite good bonded friends

CouversMom · 11-19-2010, 07:41 PM

I know what you mean by people thinking what we do for our yorkies is crazy... I don't tell anyone (other than DH) about YorkieTalk. I feel like other people would not understand.

However, I do would talk about a play group. I think some people just don't understand how important it is to have a socialized dog.

I wish we had dog parks and places that offered agility and obediance classes near me. I love my Mayberry of a town, but some things people are very closed minded about here too. Many people, not all but many, would NEVER think a dog should be treated the way I do.

I would love going to dog parks and doing meet-ups. The closest to me would be about 1-2 hrs away.

boopster · 11-19-2010, 07:53 PM

I have to laugh because I left a board meeting early this afternoon announcing that I had to pick up my baby from daycare. Didn't even occur to me till later that people would have assumed I was talking about the skin kind...

I'm in Whittier, which is technically Orange County. I don't mind the distance anyway.

I'm just so excited already to meet you guys and your babies.

Love #2 and 3. Uni looks hilarious in #2, and I so miss Katie's cute face! Bryan passed away from heart complications.
