: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: jabear January 06, 2006, 08:39:01 PM
I am thinking that since this month is flying by that maybe the first weekend in February would be good...like Feb. 4th. A new location might be fun to try too....it should be cooler weather so we are up for the snow or beach.  :) Let us know what you guys think.

P.S.
Bear is VERY excited to play with some paws his own size.  ;D

Feb. 4 sounds good to me!  Cowboy and Chester can't wait!

I'm putting a vote in for San Diego dog beach in Del mar. Being a first time dog owner that's the only fun spot I know!
It would be great fun though to see them all romping around in snow.

I really want to go but the 4th of February I will be in Cabo and Sunday I will be at sea on my way TO San Diego.  Eventually our schedules will mesh....they just have to.

I'm good with feb 4.  Sun or Surf will be fun, whichever the group seems to want the most.

I have no jobs scheduled that weekend as of yet (although many don't call me until a few days before).

I would love to do a snow meet, but beach is good too.  I'd love to go to Del Mar b/c it's close to me, but I know that might be a drive for some of you.

Hey, I just thought of something..... .............a friend of mine has a cabin up at Big Bear.......... .lol.  They get lots of snow up there.   ;)

Playdate #3   ??
What happened to Playdate #2  ??
Did I miss it???   
Oh man ... I can't believe that I missed out.

Feb. 4th .... anywhere sounds good to me.

Del Mar is good for me...  Ranger can't come, but I can!
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: jabear January 08, 2006, 08:40:33 PM
Is Del Mar in San Diego or close by??
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: ZooCrew January 08, 2006, 10:07:53 PM
Hmmm.......... .let me see if I can explain.

Del Mar is not as far as San Diego......... .......but further south than LA.  They have horse races there, so that's how most people have heard of it.  San Diego's another 15 or so mintues past Del Mar (depending on how fast you drive  ;) )

The dog beach there is alright.  Not huge, but big enough........ .......and the water is far enough away from the road for me not to worry.  My guys love it there.  Here's a website that has an okay map that shows where Del Mar is (dog beach is pretty much right where Via De La Valle meets Camino Del Mar (coast hwy))

Is the playdate still on? I work Saturdays now and will need to schedule the day off. I would love to meet all of you and your furkids! I can only access BPO on the weekends so if there is a set date and location feel free to email me the info. Thanks!

: Kirsten January 22, 2006, 04:22:21 PM
The 4th works for Shakes, Tom and I.  We could certainly make it down to Del Mar, but i do really love the HB park and the Cafe we went to.  And Hb is closer for a lot of people.  Tom and i would not be able to make it if it were up at the snow, no car that i trust to get there and back.  I hope this is still happening!!!
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Svnt4God January 25, 2006, 11:22:51 AM
Any more details of this gathering yet?
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: jabear January 25, 2006, 11:29:35 AM
I was just wondering the same thing. Is anyone still up for it??
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: newflvr January 25, 2006, 11:36:58 AM
Cowboy, Chester and I are in.  Huntington Beach is great and everybody knows where it is....but there's also that dog park near the Park Bench Cafe where we all had lunch.....

I'm open, though, to anyplace you all want to meet!  The Newfs need their buds!!! ;D ;D

Yep ... I'm in.  Just tell me WHERE and WHEN... I'll be there.
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Kirsten January 25, 2006, 02:16:16 PM
ditto, as long as it isn't TOOO far away.  my vote is HB dog beach.
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: ZooCrew January 25, 2006, 03:36:32 PM
That sounds good to me.  It is in a more central location for everyone.

OK Jaime ... sounds like you're the SWING vote.  You are joining the group, aren't you?
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: moosedog January 26, 2006, 02:22:20 AM
I'm in for the 4th.  HB is definitely closer for me than Del Mar, but I can travel to either. ;D
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Baileyboy January 26, 2006, 12:47:15 PM
I'm pretty sure I can make it on the 4th. 
Bailey had such a good time last time so we're looking forward to it.
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??

Are we on for Saturday?  what time?  Same place?? or did we change venues??
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Kirsten January 29, 2006, 10:30:48 PM
i think concensus is same place.  I forget what time we met at, but it seemed to work well.....  Sooo Excited!
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: newflvr January 29, 2006, 11:17:24 PM
Wasn't it 10:30 - ish??? 

How many are in?  I'll call and get ressies at the Park Bench Cafe!  Cowboy and Chester need to party!
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: ZooCrew January 29, 2006, 11:41:35 PM
this saturday?  Hmmmm......... ...may be able to work that.  Have to see if my ride will drive me up there (along with their dane) again.  If not, someone will have to give me directions again.
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Jessdryden January 29, 2006, 11:42:56 PM
*Sniff*  We can't come this time.  :'( (Bella isn't finished with her shots yet :P )

You all have a WONDERFUL time!!!  Sasha and Bella send slobbers... :D
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: newflvr January 30, 2006, 11:06:13 AM
OH!!  I'm SOO sad!  I was hoping to see Bella and get some puppy breath!  I completely understand!  You're a good mom!
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Jessdryden January 30, 2006, 12:10:29 PM
Bella gets her last DHPP booster on the 10th and then rabies vaccine soon after.  Then we can come play! :)
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: newflvr January 30, 2006, 12:51:39 PM
Should we wait until after the 10th???  That's only a week after......... .......
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Jessdryden January 30, 2006, 12:59:52 PM
I'd love to get together with the doggies, but I don't want to hold up the show.  I'll be in Texas for a job interview on the 10th (my schedule is crazy right now!).  Maybe we can have another (or a mini?) get together in March or late February?  Then we could share the puppy breath :D (and the puppy teeth...).
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: newflvr January 30, 2006, 01:21:56 PM
Sounds good!  Are you thinking of moving to Texas?? 
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Jessdryden January 30, 2006, 01:40:03 PM
After many (too many to count!) years of work, I'll finish my PhD in the next month or so!  :o I want to teach (chemistry) at a small-ish university.  This year I applied for positions all over the west and midwest.  On the 10th, I have my last interview, in Abilene; I used to live in San Antonio and really loved it.  I already have an offer in Oklahoma that I am really excited about, so that is where we will most likely go.  I want to check out all my options though. :)
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Kirsten January 30, 2006, 01:50:54 PM
we will certainly have to have another one in march then before you leave us forever!  The more playdates the better in my book!

10:30 sounds good to Tom and I.  Can't Wait!
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Teamshredit January 30, 2006, 03:07:57 PM
I think we're going to miss this meeting....jus t went back to school and only have Sundays off until June.  :(   

Have fun all and take lots of pictures!
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Svnt4God January 31, 2006, 03:55:46 AM
Samson, Remi & I can't make it as early as 10:30.
We will be in Riverside in the morning for our last training/observation session for Therapy Dog Registration.
We wouldn't be available till the afternoon, and I'm sure you guys will be long gone by then.

: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Kirsten January 31, 2006, 01:15:36 PM
i could certainly do it later in the day......
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: newflvr January 31, 2006, 01:18:02 PM
Me too!  What time?
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Svnt4God January 31, 2006, 02:20:37 PM
If any of you would like to call me, my cell phone  # is (714) 813-5605.   That might be an easier way of communicating at this point.

Wow....so few!! :(  Any ideas? 
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: GrumpyBunny January 31, 2006, 06:20:20 PM
Once again, I am not going to make it.

When we have one in Del Mar, I will DEFINITELY be there, though!  (Minus evil Ranger).

: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Teamshredit January 31, 2006, 08:54:41 PM
How many BPOers are from San Diego? We could do a mini meet in Del Mar sometime....on a Sunday? My time is more limited and we only have one car, so I need to stay local.
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: ZooCrew January 31, 2006, 08:59:06 PM
I'm a maybe.  I need to call my ride (since they have a nice big SUV) to see if they will drive since I hate driving north (towards LA).

I'll know for sure by Fri.  Sooooo I guess we should figure out if this is a sure thing or a no go.
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Kirsten January 31, 2006, 09:03:05 PM
i am ok with it being small.... and i am also ok with del mar if more people can go there..... i am flexable!
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Kirsten February 03, 2006, 01:05:48 PM
I am guessing at this point we aren't doing the get to gether.......   if we are someone should pst the time and location.
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: newflvr February 03, 2006, 02:35:47 PM
It doesn't seem like it....let's try to reschedule for next month....what do you think??
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Kirsten February 03, 2006, 03:02:22 PM
Next month, tom won't be able to make it, but shakes and i will be ther eas long as it isn't the 4th. (tom is having surgery again, so he will be bed ridden mostly)
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: jabear February 08, 2006, 08:34:23 PM
Did this ever happen? Did anyone get pics??
: Re: So. Cal Playdate #3- when and where??
: Teamshredit February 08, 2006, 08:46:20 PM
I don't think it did, but if anyone wants to meet this Sunday I will be at either dog beach or the park in Del Mar. I am currently meeting one other dog owner but the more the merrier!!!  :D
