AZ Meet Up In The Works - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hey everyone!!! I am trying to plan a meet up around the end of September and would like to see how many are interested on coming? Since moving out here from MI, I really am missing not having meet ups so I need to get things going out here

We live in Gilbert (Riggs & Higley) and have 5 Yorkies (Sassy, Kenya, Bradley, Nugget & Chase). We have a nice big back yard that is fenced in so tons of running around for the fur kids. I figured we could do a Pot Luck. We would also have some prizes to give away

So what do you guys think?

That sounds so cool!

My family lives out in AZ - they have 2 Yorkie girls.

...Hey - We are planning a trip out there with all the pups in the beginning of January. I would really love to try and get a Yorkie Meetup then too

Sounds like fun!!!! I live at Higley and Riggs too!!!!! Keep me posteed, Lynn

lilsarahboo21 · 08-18-2007, 11:38 PM

Lynn, I'm in Seville. Where are you?

zatorskijoan · 08-20-2007, 02:18 AM

I live in Tucson and don't have a Yorkie... yet. I've been thinking about getting one for quite some time. Would folks from YorkieTalk.com who don't have their pups yet be able to come or would it just be for YAM&D (Yorkie accompanied Moms and Dads)?

lilsarahboo21 · 08-21-2007, 03:55 PM

I was thinking about Sept 29th (Saturday)...How does that sound to everyone?

zatorskijoan · 08-21-2007, 07:32 PM

I hope I can come! About how long does it take, driving, from Tucson to Gilbert, do you think?
It's very gracious of you to allow me to come even though I don't have a YOrkie yet! Many thanks!
Warmly and with appreciation from Joan in Tucson

lilsarahboo21 · 08-22-2007, 05:55 PM

Joan, I haven't drove to Tucson yet but Yahoo maps say about 1hr 30mins....

Oh forgot also..We will have dresses for sale here also. Most of them are small size but we can always measure the pups if anyone wanted one made. My mom & myself make dog clothes. Here are a few pics so you can see what some look like.

I put it on my calendar! We can't wait to play with other yorkies!!!

zatorskijoan · 08-23-2007, 11:35 AM

I can drive the hour and a half for sure!! I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and especially to be able to play with your Yorkies! You know, I take the bringing of a new dog member into our family so very seriously, and it's vital that I be able to play and interact with Yorkies before committing to bringing one home someday (someday SOON, I hope!) So the fact that you're being so gracious and allowing me to come despite the fact that I am "Yorkie-deprieved" means so much to me.
My service dog, Levi, has been having exposure to the tiny dogs at the dogpark and is so gentle with them. I've so relieved as this issue was the major stumbling block for me regarding bringing a Yorkie (or a Maltese) into our home. Levi is an authentic Australian Labradoodle from Sydney and is such a love. He's helped me cope with my illness so much better and I'm out and about so much more than I was before he came into my life! I've got a severe level of fibromyalgia and was bed-ridden 5 days out of seven, every week for 15 years... Now I'm bed-ridden maybe two days a week. What an improvement!
Oh. Wait. I just realized you might be thinking that I'll be bringing a big dog to the gathering. No, no. This is a time for the little ones to play without any concerns from bigger guys! I wouldn't even think nof it.

AbbieMom · 08-23-2007, 12:08 PM

Abbie has never been to a meet up before. It would be interesting to see her around other yorkies. She is always around my big dog!

lilsarahboo21 · 08-23-2007, 04:06 PM

Joan-It's no problem that you come. There were a few at the MI meet ups that didn't own a Yorkie that came. I would love to see a picture of your Levi

I bet he is a cutie pie!! That is so great that he has improved your life so much. Pets can do that.

Abbie's mom-If she is shy, we will get her to come out of her shell!! I have a good friend of mine in MI that her Yorkie was always shy at meet ups and would just sit on her lap or under the tables but after a while she opened up. You wouldn't believe it was the same Yorkie if you saw her now lol

I would like to get meet ups going atleast once a month even if it's just a few of us. I miss having the meet ups & made SO MANY friends (basicly family now) from having the meet ups in MI.
