New England Yorkie Talk Meet Up

[jeanm1963]

OH Im really excited and I like the idea of a yankee swap to , that will be lots of fun , also I like the idea of bringing stuff we dont need or want to trade, I know I have a ton, I think it would be great to bring some stuff just because there will be no postage.... Just a thought. Id also be willing to bake something to bring too!!

[toke]

Thanks for the invitation, Linda (abby2473). I dunno, though...I'm pretty old and decrepit, though my pup is young and frisky.

She's 15 months and spent most of her life penned up in a kitchen...her former owner was disabled...so she hasn't been socialized properly, yet. She's owned us now about a month and a half.

I also have nothing in the way of pens or strollers or swaps, I'm afraid. I sure wouldn't want to muck up the fun. I do know I'd be in glory surrounded by pooches though, that's a given.

Please Come! You don't need to bring a anything but yourself and your cute little Zoey!! Come and be in your Glory!! I promise it is going to be a VERY low key event. We hope to be able to put our pens together (and we do have enough) so that our little ones can play safely together off - leash. Then we plan to just enjoy each others company and have a simple bring- your-own picnic lunch. The Yankee-Swap if we have one, will be for those who wish to participate only and if we do decide to do a clothing swap, that will be for those who wish to do so also....We would love to have you!!! (and I bet you are not all that decrepit!)

Well, how can I refuse a sweet offer like that? It's true, I'm not totally decrepit...but most definitely old. It would be fun, and I have a strong feeling Zo would love playing with other dogs for a change. Believe me, play is her life...she's a veritable firecracker.

So, count me in! If anything comes up and I can't make it for some reason, I'll let you know as far in advance as possible. My DH will probably drop me and pick me up, so I'll need some idea of the schedule. I live in Hanson, so I'm not far away... I'm assuming someone has directions to the park. Don't wanna end up in P-Town, lol.

I do have some XXS clothes I could swap. Miss Porky is pretty much an XS, now. Wish I could say the same.

What's everyone wearing? Jeans and flipflops or a little dressier?

Feel free to bring DH!!! Mine will be there!! You can count on Tony being right in the center of the ex-pen with the fur-kids!

.....as for clothes....wear anything your little heart desires!! (jeans & flip flops sound good to me!)

[toke]

After 40 years of marriage, I feel safe in saying this is not my Baby's kind of thing. Still...I'll invite him. You never know, he's mellowed some since retirement... (JK...pretty much, lol)

[rebeccag]

I'd like to bring my husband so maybe the guys could hang out together...lol!

[rebeccag]

I'd like to swap if I can find something the two maniacs haven't chewed up....hahahaha!

[jeanm1963]

Does anyone have a puppy female I have a TON of stuff , harnesses, leashes, clothes, etc. they are to small for my chubby puppy !! Please let me know

[toke]

Well, I've continued buying stuff that doesn't fit. I have a raincoat that's too small and the cutest little pink puff winter jacket that's too big. **sigh** I'll bring them along...surely someone can use them.

I do, I do! She varies between XXS and XS and weighs 4-1/2 lbs. Whichever size I pick for mail order usually turns out to be the wrong one...

*Kelly has scoped out a great park in Plymouth called Nelson Memorial Park. There are restrooms and some picnic tables (swings if you have kids)
* If you have ex-pens-please bring them...so far, 2 of us have the 8-sided plastic type that we can put together (1 more of these would be great!)
*Thought everyone could just bring a picnic lunch sandwiches (something easy?)

I know I mentioned a clothing swap but first, if you haven't read this thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sit...ing-forum.html please do..at least go to the end of it....it sounds as if something might be taking place very soon where we will actually be having some type of a trading forum on YT which might benefit us all!?

Of course, we still could do some type of swap but I was thinking that it might be fun to do a Yankee Gift Swap....say with a small limit like I don't know...what do you think? $10 or $15? (Fur-baby related items of course) Is that too much??? I certainly don't want anyone to feel pressured so that is why I would like feedback. I mean one could buy a couple of doggie toys or treats for that---or even make something in time for the meet up. What do you think? I've only done this once at a job at Christmas and it was a lot of fun...FEEDBACK PLEASE!!!

HI! Sorry Ive been MIA. Ive had my head stuck in the GE part of the forum since I am doing it this time for the first time! Super fun girls if anyone wants to think about doing it next time. I do have to say, it costs a small fortune because you just can't stop shopping! LOL

Here is my feedback on all this.

Plymouth June 13 still works for me so I am in.
I have a plastic x-pen that is currently broken apart to be used for gates but I can bring it with me. I think its 6 sided though, unless I lost a side along the way! (these things happen! haha)
Yankee swap is a cute idea for sure, however a $10 limit is about all my budget can take right now. Between the GE and paycut I took at work, money is super tight these days.
Again, if I can do anything to help out let me know. I finish school on monday and will have way more free time! YAY! So if I can do anything at all, (thats cheap of course) please feel free to ask!

Here's a few pictures of Nelson Street park where we are having out June 13th meetup in Plymouth.
The only picture we are missing is the one of the snack shack and restrooms, its right near the entrance and on the corner of the big grassy area.
Check back for detailed direction.
