International YorkieTalk Meet-up 2008

[scrapindee]

Ok no breeding. How about a fashion show....and classes on topknots and wrapping?

I love the idea of a speaker on nutrition.

Also, what about games at some point to fill the time-just some ideas-
-Name as many YT'ers as you can in a given amount of time
-Best Yorkie pet trick
-Fastest topknot contest, then judge for the neatest looking one
-Maybe a "dress your yorkie" contest-see who can put the most ridiculous or elaborate outfit on a yorkie, complete with accessories like shoes, bows, glasses and hats

I also like the idea of the surprise prizes for most posts, long time member, etc. We could get more creative here and do something like "Most Threads started" or "Most controversial thread posted" or "Funniest Yorkie picture ever posted" etc.

We really want to come and meet and get to know more YTers, I think my Mom and I just need to convince ourselves we can make the drive and not end up in the wrong state!

Our drive would be 23 hours if we drove straight thru. Looks like it will take us 3 days to get there with 4 dogs in the car. What FUN!! lol

What about during our first meet up day that we do an Ice Breaker type game?

Wow that is a long way to go and with 4 dogs to boot! Are you for sure going?
We really want to go, but would probably only bring Wrigley. Crosley doesn't ride well in the car unless she takes something to relax her!

Just a thought but how about something like.....
you name yourself and your dog (and maybe where you are from) and then
the next person in line names you, your dog, (where you're from) and then themself and their dog (and where they're from) and then
the next person names you, your dog, (where you are from) the next person, their dog, (where they are from) and then themself and their dog (and where they are from) and so on down the line.

That might be fun trying to remember every one and every dog UNLESS you're at the end of the line!!!!!

Yep, we are already registered and made hotel reservations.. But we are kind of kicking around the idea to rent an RV and save the hotel costs. Would be more comfy for the dogs for sure

Well you are certainly an inspiration to me! The RV sounds like a great idea! I really think it sounds like alot of fun! I really enjoyed the Yorkie Fair in Michigan last year!

I would like a lesson on how to good a dog by yourself. Like how to do the ears and around the butt and stuff like that.

Grooming speaker would be great...
I mean face it We Spend Many Hours Grooming them.....
I Really want to know how to make Gooming time more Happy..
Getting the Nails Trimed with out a Fuss would be WONDERFUL!
