Hey everypawdy. Since we cannot be there, Jim and I would like to have food delivered to the gathering on one of the days. Just let me know what day and time you want it to arrive at the park.

That is so incredibly sweet of you guys Rene and Jim! We'd much rather you two could come! We understand though sometimes it just can't work out. Sally if you and Elizabeth do get food we will all be chipping in for it and also the rental of the park shelter too. We appreciate all the "behind the scenes work" you guys have done! Can't wait!
If Izzy and I make it, I'll bake cupcakes 😀 I like feeding people.
CCNU dose #2 on board, onco tweaked it so we'll see! Hopefully she won't be thrown for such a loop this time *fingers crossed*
Momma to the world's most beautiful American Bulldog, Izzy!! Lost her front leg to OSA 9/18/15. Diagnosed w MCT in June 2016. Celebrated her 1 year ampuversary with knee surgery on 9/18/16! MCT recurrence in Dec 2016. Happy & hungry til nearly 14, earning her wings on 7/31/17.
Thanks Linda! It shouldn't be too much divided up among all of us.We'll keep our receipts. Maybe avle ro get some things at a discount, or maybe even a few things donated.:-) 🙂 🙂
The shelter is total for two days $140 ($70 per day) If we jave a member from Chesterfield County come I think I can get it reduced. County residents "only" have to pay $120 ($60 per day).
And THANK YOU JIM AND RENE for "feeding the troops" one night! I know it's no sense in trying to talk you out of it...so....we'll just say a SINCERE THANK YOU! 🙂
EPIC....GONNA BE EPIC!!!! 🙂 🙂

Tina.! What are yiur dates???
ooookay. feeling the pressure here... 🙂
I have been looking at flights and hotels and so on. Can't let Clare represent the EU by herself especially if she won't even be a member much longer... 🙂
Now, I don't have anything booked yet but from what it looks like I will in the next couple of days. However, Manni has his next check up in May and it will all depend on that outcome I suppose so, just to let you know, even if I book I may still have to cancel if things get worse.
but plans are in the making!! from what it looks like now I would be going to DC , similar to Clare, and then get to Richmond from there. Now, I know this has been asked before, but what about hotels in Richmond? Any recommendations? I would probably be staying the whole long weekend before going back to DC. some help with the accomodation thing would be much appreciated!!
I'm not saying 'yay!' yet due to not having booked yet, but YAY!!! 🙂
Guardian of Manni the Wonderdog. -Or was it the other way around?
Osteo and amputation in Dec 2015. Second, inoperable, primary osteosarcoma found in June 2017.
The end of our adventures came Dec 10, 2017. 2 years to the day.
We'll take that Yay Tina. Sure hope you can make it! Fingers crossed and prayers for a good checkup for Manni!
Wow, Im finally caught up on everything lol. Im so excited!!! Can't wait to see everyone. For some asking about Richmond hotels, my roommate and I are staying at the Red Roof Inn in Richmond, I know it's not the best, but its only about 15-20 mins from the dog park we're going to be at. And its very reasonably priced. Also, the talk of food.... I happen to currently work at a Dog Boutique and Bakery... Would anyone be interested in either a big cake for the dogs, or maybe even cupcakes or cookie trays for the dogs? Everything is all natural and 100% taste tested and approved by my pack lol. The cake or cupcakes could be tricky to transport, they would come frozen and it's about a 5-6 hour drive for us, so I would need suggestions on keeping it frozen until the party on Saturday (we're driving up Friday). But I figured we can't have all the fun, the puppies need goodies too 🙂 Let me know what ya'll think. The big cake is a bone shape and feeds probably 25 dogs and I can have something fun written on it. Or I could just do a very big arrangement of the bakery made cookies and such. Im so excited that so many people are coming! As crazy as my crew of puppers are we'll probably spend most of the weekend at the dog park to wear everyone out.

Domino had his left front leg amputate on May 13th 2014 after being hit by a car. He's now living a happy healthy life on three legs :)
Oh gosh we love Red Roof Inns. They're the most dog friendly, reasonably priced motels.
That cake sounds GREEEEAAAAT. Thanks for thinking of that. Jim and I will cover that cost. PM me with a total and I'll take care of it OK?

That is a great idea Cassie. 🙂 A little dry ice in a cooler will keep it frozen awhile. If you want some $ let me know I will chip in too

Hey gang,
We've set up a survey that we ask anyone attending the Virginia party to visit and answer the 6 quick questions. We want to make sure that we arrange the right amount of food, so this will allow us to get a quick head count. You can take the survey here:
We are all so excited!
Karma
Adelaide is a young tripawd Husky, from an injury. Her amp was on 10/1/12. She has 4 sisters, Aissa (a senior border collie/chow), Maggie May (a puppy Great Pyrenees), Mathilde and Morrigan and 1 baby brother, Bagheera. We are all watched over by our angel Brendol, who was dx with OSA 1/30/13, amp on 2/6/13, and left us on 8/20/13.

To expand on Karma's form so we can make food arrangements, how 'bout this so we can help members carpool and make hotel arranbements with each other if so inclined.
Would it be beneficial to post an ongoing list in one place (maybe another thread linked to here) where people could add their names when they know they are coming? My vision is to have one "go to spot" where people can make their own updates and roommate arrangements and carpool arrangements
Just a "starting point" sample below. Lots of room for improvement!
*** There could be a definite and a maybe box.
*** City and state so anyone who wants to carpool could be in touch with each other.
***Staying over night? Date(s)? Interested in sharing hotel room? Pet? Y/N
I'll add a list of two hotels I found in the area of Rockwood Park that I know are in "okay" areas and within ten minutes of Rockwood Park. Obviously, if two or three or four are sharing a room the price goes down per person!
What say you, my creative brilliant friends?
