Anyone else has a suggestions as far time and place, or can we set it up for that weekend?
DH said, yes, so he'll do the driving.... Are husbands allowed, or is it only a girls/furbabies thing?

That is totally up to you. There are no rules set on who may attend. By all means, let your DH come!!

I love the (Tampa) private lots idea and I would even push a 15 pound limit for none yorkies. I friends have a 20 boston terrier and she runs over my fur-butts. I would prefer June 12 weekend. In my county LEE which is about 2.5 hours south of Tampa, school isn't out till the 10th.

You can count 2 humans and 2 fur-butts.

Wonderful!! So glad you want to come!!

15-20 pound weight limit should be enforced. Of course, unless there is a unique situation... that can be discussed further. Agreed?

June 12 is what we are trying for so Jes can come!

I also like the idea of a private area for them to play. That seems perfect

Btw.. My babys a yorkie/maltese and she looks mostly maltese (or a white yorkie

) I hope thats ok.. Shes half yorkie though I swear!!

I agree... Tampa is on the brain.

Your unique yorkie baby is 1000% welcome with everyone elses. I cannot wait to meet her.

Agreed.... As soon as we have a headcount, those who are able to help in the planning process can start being given little tasks so we have a group effort in making this an awesome meetup.

If no one is opposed, me, Little One and Carsou will be your points of contact for this meetup. We all live in Tampa, and live within 5 miles of each other. When it comes closer to time, please feel free to PM me for my cell phone number!

I am looking forward to meeting everyone and cannot wait for the planning to begin.

Together this is going to be a great success, not to mention a FREAKING BLAST!!!

Tell Juicy that Maddy misses her cute little fur butt already!

sarahheartmaddy · 04-04-2009, 08:00 PM

I think all have agreed on Tampa. If not, speak up now!!

Okay, hotels first:

DogFriendly.com's City Guide: Tampa Bay, Florida

Please let me know if you would like to stay with me. I can take one person to stay in my extra bedroom.

What are suggestions for things people would like to do? Beach? Outlet Mall?

I think if we have the area to meet up (like Little One was saying) we should do a Potluck lunch/dinner and all the pups have free run?

I'll have to pass this time, it's my MIL 80th Birthday party on that weekend, but if there's something I can help with, please let me know.

Little One · 04-05-2009, 01:36 AM

Im so EXCITED! June 12th is AWESOME!

In Tampa

Lets all set OUR RESERVATIONS EARLY as ALL Florida hotels are often over-booked!

This is so awesome!!!

Yall are going to LOVE the field and plush yard!!! We all chill by my pool while the pups play!

Alcohol? Yes or No? We seem pretty together but never know lol. But we need to decide. I dont mind drinking going on - encourage you to have a beer in fact. But NO crazy drunks lol.

Ok - half the battle is over... location/date

Tampa (Lutz - North Tampa)

June 12th

Noon til we are all beat!

Sound good! I do this at my job so please dont let me step on anyones toes... this is just what I do so I ran with it.

I made a friend here that literally lives in my backyard... LITERALLY!

xoxo

Javathon · 04-05-2009, 04:58 AM

I'm next to South of Tampa, so I not looking into a hotel. I would recommend that all the people that are get together and try to get a deal. If you all stay in the same place I'm pretty sure they would work something out.

As for drinking, I agree with it as long as we don't get any crazies.

Noon sounds like an agreeable time.

side note about the pool, Is it going to be available for swimming

yorkies? along with their parents of course.

We can't wait!

No toes have been stepped on here!

This sounds great to me!

Alcohol... I think in moderation.

So glad we found out we are neighbors!

Yes, I was curious about the swimming part too.

princesselle · 04-05-2009, 05:19 AM

Sounds like so much fun! We are still trying to plan for it! We can give you a definite answer soon, for your head count ( my daughter is graduating that weekend). Thanks for everyone's effort in the planning!

mblab · 04-05-2009, 07:19 AM

I cannot tell you how excited I am that this is actually going to happen!

Like I'd said earlier, I won't be staying at a hotel, instead driving in from Crystal River, an hour and a half from Tampa. (Haha, making a 3 hour drive to get there in the first place. The lengths I'd go for meeting you and your babies!) So noon would actually be a perfect start time so we have enough time to wake up and make our way over to Tampa!

Thanks so much Little One for volunteering a private space, I really like that idea! Sometimes there's nothing better then letting the little ones loose in the back yard! (You know they're safe and won't go anywhere and they can enjoy themselves!) I also think if we're meeting up there a pot luck would work well. I'm totally in for making something, my specialties have included sweet and sour meatballs (that's the only thing I've brought meal wise to a pot luck

) and anything desserty.

So, count us in for 2 humans and one puppy. (If my boyfriend's sister decides to come that'd be 3 humans then.)

Weeeeee! This is going to happen! Yay!

Can't wait to meet you all!

JesBred · 04-05-2009, 10:21 AM
