Hey EAST COASTERS and beyond! Have an even better place to gather that is fairly close to some major thoroughfare interstate stuff!
Okay, it's called ROCKWOOD PARK......it has an OFF LEASH FENCED DOG PARK! It has jogging trails (Alison!), a little "nature area", etc. This is where I met up with SNOOP so it has his paw of approval. And their are plentyof food places around too.
Elizabeth has thrown out June 21st, Saturday.....how is that for everyone.....and we're talking GEORGIA, MEW YORK, PENNSYLVANIA , JERSEY, and wherever MURHY lives, CANADA, CONNECTICUT, MARYLAND, IDAHO, CALIFORNIA and beyond!! JILL has to come (yeah, bring Brudda' too)!
I'll be back and post the exact address so you can check it out. Ueah, this is a muich better place to meet (and ole' Sal doesn't jave to fret about house cleaning!

Great idea...hopefully Lexie and I can make it. Would love to meet Eluzabeth and Sally and others IRL! 
Deb and Angel Lexie* Diagnosed at age 13. Tried radiation first; wish we had amputated upon diagnosis (even with lung mets). Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here.
Ok then I say we make that the official date at Rockwood Park. Do your magic Jerry!

TY GUY, Best Black Lab ever! Diagnosed and had amp in January, 2014. Kicked MRSA's butt. Earned his angel wings on April 16, 2014. Run Free my boy and don't forget a shoe. Ty is a proud member of the " April Angels". Ty sent us Daryl, a Tripawd rescue in Sept. of 2016. Daryl is 5 +or -. We are also Pawrents to Chandler, a Border Collie mix who is 15 and 1/2, Lucy, a Corgi who is 7, 2 minis, 2 horses, and a feisty cat named Zoe. Zoe had a non skeletal Osteosarcoma removed in July 2015. No Chemo, she was at least 16. She is going strong although she is now completely blind. She is now close to 20 and her hobbies are eating and sleeping in front of her personal heater.
OK so it's official?
Rather than change this topic title I'd like to start a fresh one so we can point the press release and all that to it. May I do so?

It is official!! Absolutely Jerry!

While Murphy would LOVE to be at a pawty, it probably would be a bit (?) far for us to travel. We will be there in spirit and will look forward to seeing all the great pictures.
Kathi and Murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!
