I don't have an x-pen, but Gus and I are registered. I can't wait to see everyone and their furbabies!

Ok - we're getting down to the wire. Yorkie Day is next Saturday! I can't believe it's finally here.

There will be over 20 baskets to be raffled off! There will be a wonderful parade of all the rescued pups, vendors selling all sorts of items, photo sessions, contests, demonstrations...

I can't wait to meet everyone and their pups. Bring your camera and get ready for the chaos - I mean festivities! LOL

I'm coming in on Friday night and leaving after the festivities to make the tail end of a graduation party. Anyone else coming in on Friday?

My SIL is going to loan me her x-pen - yea!

4yorkiemom · 07-07-2008, 09:50 AM

I'll be there Friday afternoon. We are going to start setting up around 3pm. If you don't see us in the ballroom, call my room (i'll send you a pm).

WE are going to have a blast.

If you come in early on Friday, there is the Green Dragon Farmers Market just 20 minutes away - it is huge and so unique. Lots of animals, food and crafts.

You can go to our website and click on "Donate" Paypal - then type in if you want Dinners $40 per person or just the activities $20 per person. Give us the names of the people coming in that Paypal space. If your Yorkie is a rescue dog, from any where, give me the dog's name and some information about them.

We have well over 110 people and their dogs coming.. but time is short. Thursday is the last day. We need your names now. So hurry! You don't want to miss out. Bring an xpen or a crate and get ready to shop and enjoy the other Yorkie moms. It is a great day to meet people from all over who love Yorkies.

We also just found out we are being given a free night at the Sheraton - some one is going to win a free night's stay!!! Yeah...

Can't wait!!

I have good news!! Heidi, I think I sent you a message regarding my puppies. Well my vet said she will give them their shots on Friday so they can come on saturday. I'm so excited. So Daisy and Skipper will have red bandanna's and a mint green dog stroller that I was able to borrow. Its too funny but my 10 year old son is excited as well to see the all the dogs.

see you all there with red bandanna's on.

4yorkiemom · 07-08-2008, 01:20 PM

Yay! we get to see the puppies! i don't have the red bandanas but I was thinking about tying a red ribbon on my xpen. my husband, mark, will be babysitting the pups while am running around selling raffle tickets, etc.

put "yorkietalk" under your name on your name tag so that i can find you all!

Since this is my first time coming I just wanted to make sure on a couple of things.... I called today to rsvp a room for Sat night. The person I talked with had to keep varifing information and kept putting me on hold.... So the room is 119 a night and a $50(at first she said then she changed to ?$40) deposit for pets and then she said that we would get back $5 less (non refundable)providing the room is good condition. so because she was so unsure exactly how they were charging I told her I wanted to varify this with the other ladies that are staying. Does this sound correct? I went online and seen I could get a room for $113 but I still need to pay the pet fee and it is non-refundable. I am confused... does anyone have any input. I want to make sure I do not get taken wrongly or I just am misunderstanding.

thanks

4yorkiemom · 07-09-2008, 04:24 PM

if you are reserving a room in the block under Save A Yorkie Rescue there should be no additional fee for the pups. i sent marilyn an email asking the rate.

nancyfancypants · 07-11-2008, 01:32 PM

Just wanted to say that I'm in my room (but not staying at the Sheraton) and am really excited about tomorrow! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

I have a pretty weak wifi connection but will check in every so often to see if there are new messages. Going to find some food in a few minutes.

LilDiddyBear · 07-11-2008, 03:16 PM
