Argh … just saw a "save the date" magnet on the fridge; we have a wedding the weekend of June 5th.  Please, don't schedule the Pawty around us … if it works for everyone else that weekend, by all means hold it then.

Hopalong Harley – where do you go to hop if not to the dog parks? I guess Gerry's mum and I used to have this conversation when Yoda and Tazzie were around. Eventually we figured out that our tripawds ran crazily around town more than most.

We actually only live in Madison part-time.

Harley isn't a real playful dog … he has a couple of dogs he likes to "play" with, but Harley's idea of "playing" is running up to the dog, bouncing around for 30 seconds max, and then running off to pee on something else.  He seems to be much happier running around the house with his squeaky rubber chickens, or running around outside peeing on trees/bushes, than playing with other dogs … so I never felt he was missing much by not going to the dog park, plus he doesn't hear (listen) as well, anymore.

At the risk of hijacking this topic, I just had to share Jerry's similar rubber chicken fetish:

We are so far off topic, hijack away ... I loved seeing Jerry with his chicken!!!!  Made my day!  

Oh whoops, scratch that.  I did get one vote against May 30th due to a graduation.  So two against June 5th an one against May 30th thus far.  June 6th is an option too, though with a weddign to go to the day before, that still may not be good for Gwen and Harley.

Who else was interested who hasn't voted?  Stas and family - any preferences?  Anyone else I'm forgetting?  Oh, Nova's mom was interested.  She might not be watching this thread though, so I should PM her.

There's still time - get your votes in

That's it, the next rubber chicken I find is coming home with us for Gerry!

Hey everybody, I'm also considering a tripawd pawty the last weekend in June, or the first two of July.  So I'm taking input on which of those three would be best for people too.

And still open to input on whether May 30th or June 5th is a better date, but I will decide on that one soon and might have to flip a coin for the final vote at this point.

Alright folks, Gerry (and Harley, should we say?) is hosting his first Tripawd Pawty on May 30th (with a rain date of June 5th) in Madison at the Badger Prarie Park (technically in Verona).  Give me input though on the best start/end times for attendees - especially those of you travelling from outside the Madison area.  I know it's more than a month away, but I'm going to make up fliers and advertise to find some of those other Madison tripawds that we know are out there.  And I know myself, I could use a good month of prep time to make a poster I'm satisfied with and get it distributed far and wide.

And I'm already contemplating another one in mid to late summer as well.  Thanks for the bad date input Stas' fam!  I'll take bad and/or good date info from any/all who are interested in coming and do what I can with it.
