| Can we plan a big Tampa, FL area meetup?! I don't know how to get this started but there were a lot of people in my Bam Bam thread from florida that were interested in a Tampa, FL meetup. Who organized the last one (in Orlando, earlier this year)? Anyone else interested?! Post here if you are, so we can see how many people are willing to come! If anyone has suggestions for dates or places, post that as well as I do not know of many dog parks |

| I am from Miami, but I am willing to drive up for a big meetup. I love planning so let me know. I found this list of dog friendly parks and beaches. FloridaPets.net - The Web's #1 resource for all that is pet friendly in Florida I am not very familiar with the area so maybe you can let me know about them.

Well if you love planning, by all means take the lead!! I read through a few of them in the tampa area... I live outside tampa so i am not familiar with certain areas but i think the clearwater, st petersburg or tampa area would be nice. I hadnt thought of a beach but because it will be summer i think that would be nice, but I read through some of the reviews and I dont like the idea of big dogs running off leash when we will have little bitty doggies with us.. but if anyone knows of a good one and its safe(!!) let us know.. the only one i saw that Ive heard of before is the mango dog park...

if anyones been there it would be great to have some input!! or if anyone can suggest another nice place... I think the weekend would be best for most people .. would you agree? | ||

| Well it was 100 here today..lol So it needs to be early morning or late afternoon. I took Bella to Mango once. They do have large areas for both small and big dogs. Both are enclosed by a fence. HOWeVer. People put their large breen puppies in the small dog side. A puppy that was 3 times her size pounched on her and pinned her to the ground. she yelped and he owner just stood there. I think i remember seeing a few picnic tables some covered i think. I could check others out if anyone had a preference or idea |

| I researched it a little more and the fort desoto paw playground does have fenced in areas for small dogs and big dogs, as well as access to the beach/water (leash free). Its supposed to be one of the better dog beaches. Is there anyone who has been there that is willing to give it a review? and/or someone to check it out? I might be willing to go check it out-- I found a video @ where you can get a look at the beach
