Hey everyone Karma did a great thing for us.   For any of the attendees of the Virginia Tripawd Party, we are trying to help members find lodging in proximity with other members and, if wanting to, find room shares.  Please fill in your information on this document.  It also includes a map of the area.  Karma did mark a few hotels but there are others in the area as well.

KARMA!!!!! KARMA!!!!! YOU ARE RAZZLE DAZZLE SIZZLING GOOGLE FORM SUPERSTAR EXTRAORDINAIRE!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

You AND Michelle have come up with a BRILLIANT format!!!

And this sorta' gives people a "choice" of being "closer" to the location where the "house people" are staying (their are two houses actually five miles apart from each other) or being "closer" to Rockwood Park....or halfway inbetween!

Either way, there will be little time in the hotels or houses anyway because THE MAIN EVENT IS TWO....TWO FIVE HOUR DAYS at the park with good food, good friends, the Tribute Leash and a Celebration of Life corner, fenced dog park and lots and lots of barky, howling dogs!!! 🙂 🙂

Donna and John (Murphy's Mom & Dad) are basically staying halfway in between.

I'm going to add two addresses here that are very close to Rockwood Park itself but I don't know how to add the stars on the map......don't even know if it's necessary to do that anyway. My tavlet won't let me type in the form.

If you want to be close to the Park, these two hotels are best choice for convenience to major roads and being close to Rockwood Park:

HAMPTON INN. 3620 Price Club Blvd Midlothian Va 1 855 605 0317
(Easily within ten minutes)

TINA, coming all the way from NEW MEXICO to represent the lovely ISA is staying at:

HAMPTON INN 800 Research Rd. Midlothian Va. 1 855 0317
I believe this one is DOG friendly
(Within 10 minutes)

CASSIE (Tripawd Domino) and her roomie coming from SOUTH CAROLINA with their FIVE DOGS. are staying at RED ROOF INN on Walmsley Blvd

Sooooooo.....just to name a few who still might need lodging, Sara (DC Jack), Ingrid (Spirit Nixon, Tex), Kim (all Greys!), Amy (Izzy), Bonnie (Polly), (and more...you know who you are) check out Karma's great form! Tina is open to room share with a couple more people!!

Elizabeth and I never imagined the "Virginia Pawty" would end up being this magical!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 PURE MAGIC!!!!! She and are are thrilled beyond words! 🙂

THANKS AGAIN KARMA AND MICHELLE!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

Oh dearest Sally!.....it's a little funny that my "twin", Donna, and I get mixed up all the time. Now it seems like our husbands do too 🙂

Paula

Nitro 11 1/2  yr old Doberman; right front amp June 2014. Had 6 doses carboplatin, followed by metronomic therapy. Rocked it on 3 legs for over 3 years! My Warrior beat cancer, but couldn't beat old age. He crossed the Bridge peacefully on July 25, 2017, with dignity and on his terms.  Follow his blog entitled "Doberman's journey"

Thanks for posting those other hotels and we thought it would be good for those wanting to share to have a place to put it in the form  and ways to contact each other 🙂

And Sally, Donna's husband is Glenn and Paula's is John 🙂

Oh Sally!!!!

The funniest part of this is that before I met Glenn, I dated a guy named John for about 3 years....and more than once my sister called my husband "John."  Now she jokingly calls him "JohnGlenn"  laughing

Donna, Glenn & Murphy 

Murphy had his right front leg amputated due to histiocytic sarcoma at 7 years old. He survived 4 years, 2 months & 1 week, only to be taken by hemangiosarcoma at 11 1/2 years 6/12/17

Tina ... Teri ... Call me anything but don't call me late for dinner! (or was that a typing thing Sally?)

I filled out the Google thing but I have no idea if it saved my info, nor could I see anyone else's info. Mr. Google is largely a mystery to me. If I messed it up, holler and I'll take another shot at it.

Wowzer, is this turning into the shindig to end all shindigs!

Alison, it sounds like there's plenty of time in the morning for the tattoo parlor! Spend some time on pinterest to figure out what you want! (hehehehe!)

you're forgiven Sally - my own bosses (yes plural) still can't spell my name properly after three years. I've gotten pretty flexible about it.

oh and Christine you HAVE to come!! First choice would of course be WITH Gator but I do understand the complications of bringing him along!! You just have to come!

Oh and the infamous POOCH might just be coming from North Carolina? Am I reading that correctly? As in perhaps a stop on his way to Chicago????

Teri, I could see your info on the form 🙂

Sally, I already scoped out hotel rooms and will go look again. Probably best to get something and cancel, if need be. My sweet girl is hanging tough but tires very easily and has almost no muscle left. The long term prednisone is taking its toll. That said, she still LOVES to make new friends, so we're hoping to attend!

Hey all, I know you've probably discussed this before but I want to get clear on a few things about the event. Can you please tell me:

- Is there a casual "pre-pawty" on Friday? If so, where and when?

- What time on Saturday do you want us to arrange a food delivery? We were planning on pizzas delivered. Is that OK? If not, what would you like as an alternative?

Thanks!

Rene,

As far as I know there is no Pre-pawty Friday.  I think everyone is coming in different times. 

Pizza's are fine 🙂 Thank you we appreciate that.  I will leave the time up to everyone else it doesn't matter to me.

No pre-pawty that I know of, but I'm sure there may be something impromtu! Sally and I are doing some shuttling from the airport and I'm not sure what time everyone is getting in. 

Rene, I think Sally booked the pavilion 3-8....so maybe 5ish? That is so awesome of you guys, thank you again 🙂 I still can't believe how epic this is turning out to be! Who would have ever thought?!
