Fresh Start, TAKE 2: FL Meet-Up? Hi everyone! :wavey: Things have gotten a bit out of hand ... I want to try this over again, give us all a fresh start and see if we can't make this happen, without any stress, confusion, or frustration. In the end, if a meet-up is able to happen it should be FUN! :cool: We had decided previously that Tampa is a good in-between point for us to meet. (If you feel differently please feel free to make another suggestion!) Again, once the area/city of Tampa was decided as the meet-up location we decided Saturday, June 13th was a good day for us all to meet. Depending on what takes place we may decide on setting up a minimal fee just to cover food costs. We may also do a mini gift exchange between those that go to the meet-up so that all doggies would go home with something. Again, both of these are just possibilities that are dependent on if the meet-up takes place and what we decide to do there! So, are you interested in a meet-up on June 13th in Tampa, Florida? WHAT: Florida YT meet-up WHEN: Saturday, June 13th (specific time TBA) WHERE: Tampa, FL (specific location TBA) WHO: You tell me, are you interested? So if you're interested in meeting all these lovely YT'ers in your area, having a fun day, and having your little one play with other Yorkies this is the place for you to be! :woof: |
I for one would love to have a FL meet-up! Having met the lovely Jess (JesBred) I can only imagine how great meeting more great YT'ers would be! While I do not live in Tampa I'd be willing to make the drive in order for us to join in on such a fun thing! |
I would love to go, but like I've said on the original thread, it falls on MIL 80th Birthday, and all the family is getting together for a surprise party. |
I think its a great idea! The date and place was perfect it seemed.. I thought we had agreed to bring food?? I wouldn't mind pitching in either as long as wasn't to out of the park. I think the organizers should pick the place, date etc because afterall they are the ones planning it. If the others would like to go they should rsvp and pitch in some money for food. And if they show up without notice or pitching in for food they can get some mcdees if they want to eat. jmo |
Oh thank for the pm... I would have loved to go.. and voted maybe.. glad I did.. If it were the middle of May I could go.. I leave for canada the end of may,,,,if you change your date,. for what ever reason.. would absolutly love to go to this meet up.. again thanks for letting me know... anne |

And as you recommend. Thank you! xoxo ~ Mikaela |
I'm still in. I don't think the babies need anything to take home, if anything I would ask some vendors for possible raffle prizes. As for the parents needing food, they can probably eat before and after the meet-up. This would leave less of a mess in the party location. If anything is needed I would say drinks (soft drinks) and snacks like chips or cookies. It seems to me like we're only going to meet for a few hours. We are really looking forward to this event, but adding additional costs to our road trip really put a damper on it. |
i would love to go too. but have no way of getting there. :( |
Thats the whole thing... No One is thinking of the mess that will be left all over my house yard and pool. The mess I will have to clean after all leave because I wouldnt allow any of you to lift a finger... ALL anyone is worried about it that 20 dollar bill. Until that changes - this really cant go anywhere IF WE ARENT EVEN WILLING TO PUT 20 DAMN DOLLARS IN IT! Too much drama in this for me. :thumbdown God knows I OFFERED THE WORLD!!! It would have been 90210 over here. My hands are tied. xoxo ~ Mikaela |
OK I voted maybe ..but I am definately out due to the post directly above. This type of attitude is why I stop spending too much time on YT.:( I did not read the original thread and I am not sure who is planning or who offered their home or what. Maybe I am misreading Little one's post.???:confused: I certainly hope so. |

Ok ya'll im becoming frustrated and annoyed with this. LittleOne if you want to have the event at your home, that is fine. I think we should all bring our own food and beverages if wanted and pick them up after. I will help stay after and clean up as I am staying with Sarah across the street. But I do think that the deposit will make people not want to come. I know all I want to do is let my dog get acquainted with others. I never planned on having goodies, or a caterer. I just thought it was a backyard get together. plain and simple. If not I think we need to find a location in Tampa, like the dog beach, that we can all meet at a certain time. That way everyone is left to their own picking up and providing themselves with food/drinks, noone is stressed or having to be worrying about how many are showing up. This has gotten out of hand imo |

OK so I just went and read the other threads.this is my observations to date: I see a fairly recent new comer, with very few posts wants to charge members 20 to come to their home...lol Because they live in an elite neighborhood where houses start at $350K and they have live-in help and they think they should be compensated for giving up a day on the water with their family. OH and because she would be stuck cleaning up after us BECAUSE she would never let us lift a hand. I have been to meet ups with 20+ yorkies...lol The events are come as you are..bring what you want kind of events. I have had incredibly great times with awesome people. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE EVENT OF THE YEAR PEOPLE!! What happened to just getting together for a little fun. I am somewhat disappointed. |
