Hi,
Ok it looks like a tentative plan to hit the shores of West Dennis (Fumbles' Beach) on Saturday May 20th!! ;D
Who's in and what are you bringing!! :)
Rich
-
well obviously we're in!! :) i'm thinking mayflower beach.. we can lug our stuff out onto the beach, but it's really close to the parking lot. and there probably won't be too many people out there. even if there are the beach is HUGE! esp when tide goes out..
super easy to get to...
if you're going rt 3, go to the end and then go 1/2 way around the sagamore rotary. go over the sagamore bridge (that's rt. 6). stay on rt. 6 and get off on Exit 9B. Merge onto RT.134. Go to the end where 134 meets rt. 6A. take a left at the light at 6A. you're gonna be on that for like 5 min. Take a right onto Bayview Rd (across from the dennis market) stay lefT onto Dunes Rd!! after that you're going to stay right twice at forks! mayflower is at the end of the road. you'll hit a dead end and have to take a right into a parking lot. go through that parking lot down to the lower one.Â
from 495.. stay on 495 as it turns into Rt. 25. go over the bourne bridge, at the bourne rotary go around 3/4 (the 3rd street). Go down that road till you reach RT. 6. you might not see the sign, so keep your eyes out! get on RT 6 and follow directions above.Â

Erin and I will be there with Kali. Its going to take us 2:40 to get there so we need to know what time we're aiming for Erin mentioned 11:00 is that the goal. We can make the Veggie pasta salad again and maybe potatoe salad. We'll see what everyone else is bringing.
We need someone to bring extra water for Kali along with all the other dogs as we will be limited on space. Tim
-
Sadie and I are in! We'll bring extra water and bowls for the kids and some sort of dessert. My little mini Newfie is going to be so excited to play with the big kids.
-
oh yah! now i have a question! do you all want to do the beach picnic thing, bring your beach chairs and towels and stuff.. or do you want to maybe go romp around in the ocean and then come back to stacy and my house for a barbecue??? it's up to you all! just let us know!
-
The barbecue is totally up to you guys. If your willing to open your house to all of us that would be awesome. Make sure its okay with Stacy ;), we're just excited to be coming out to the Fumb's stomping grounds. Tim
-
actually it was stacy's idea! lol! but i wasn't sure if everyone wanted to do that typical lunch thing on the beach! :) hehe!
-

I'd be down for whatever, all I'm gonna say is - that's a LOT of Newf in one yard! ;)
-
I was on erin's account oh well. Stacy is really does love the fumbs, even if he eats her things :D. Shawna you know you can never have enough Newf.
ps Shawna did you get my pms beginning of the week?
-
Zoey wants to go but I think we are going to be out of this one :-\ I don't feel comfortable having zoey off leash without a fence, plus she is afraid of the ocean and I can only imagine what she would do on a beach with fumble trying to woo her :-X
-
i'm thinking we should do the lunch on the beach! just cause i kinda want to! lol!!! :)Â
aww! we will definately miss zoey!! i've really never let fumble off leash either, partly because i'm afriad that other people are afriad of him! but if there are other dogs around i know he would care less about the people! and especially zoey! lol! he actually hasn't tried to get busy with anything!! knock on, wait that wouldln't sound good! lol! oh and that he would probably jump in ocean and swim to ireland!
-
Bump....One week to go ;D
-
well.. i just PMed and invitation to a bunch of people in the NE area letting them know about the playdate! *if i missed anyone, i apologize! i was never strong in geography, and i used the pawprint search with just the town names! lol!
-

ps Shawna did you get my pms beginning of the week?
No, I'm sorry! I've been so tired from doing CATS and I didn't check that email address! I very rarely look over to see if I have PMs. I'll give you my work email at the playdate, that's a better way to get a hold of me.

Hi Folks,
So is there stil a cape ??? Can you believe all this rain!! They are shutting off the Water in Lowell because the water treatment plant is a foot away from flooding!! :-[
Well they say sun for Saturday so I'll be there come he$% or high water which we should have.
Rich
-
Peabody was on CNN this morning, with more than 2' of water in what they were reffering to as downtown. Good luck with your water as there's still how much rain coming. At least if you get really desperate you can just put a bucket outside and collect rainwater.
-
Luckly the cape didn't get it too bad! well were used to our usual "flooding" but we made it through!! hahah, thank god the house is like 12 feet above the flood level! :) but lets just say fumble loved the rain, i think i took him on maybe 100 walks in a matter of two days.. and im not being sarcastic in the least! that dog just wanted to be outside in the rain jogging through the puddles!!
Today when I got home from work the sun had actually come out in a week, so we went to the beach for a walk and it was tons of fun! although now fumble wants to go on walks because its nice out! hehehe
The weather forcast for saturday is 66 and sunny, so we should have a great day.. and the rest of the week is supposed to be beautiful too so we should dry out pretty good!
-
::BUMP:: cAn'T! wait!!!
-
What time are you guys meeting? Just in case Zoey decides to make a last minute guest appearance ;)
-
Goal is 11 to 1 at least on Mayflower Beach in West Dennis. We all would love to see you guys, Zoey is an honorary Newf afterall ;D.

Hi Look I'm quoting myself!! So what do we need for the festivities on Saturday!! Winslow is all excited to see his bud's!!
-
Oh man, we deffinately won't be able to make it. I was thinking we would come for a least a bit, but I work from 9-2 on Saturdays :-\
-
Erin and I are bringing vegie pasta salad and potatoe salad.
Shawna is bringing extra water for the pups and I believe desserts.
I couldn't find any other postings.
We need drinks and sandwiches of some kind.
I don't know if Eiren (sp) and Stacy want to make the sandwiches again.
List of who's coming?
Kali, Erin, Karen, and Me
Fumble, Eiren, and Stacy
Sadie and Shawna
Winslow and Rich
-
yeah we'll get a few subs and some soda and waters..
-
Hi,
I'll bring some munchie stuff, chips dip things like that. I have some adult beverages ;) should I bring some and a box to keep them chilled? Unfortunately Dawn is working Tomorrow :( So just me and Winslow for a few hours. I do have to be back in Lowell for 6pm so I plan on shooting for an 11am ish arrival.
Do we need the table again? I'm not sure how that would work on the beach, I have a bunch of chairs those ones in the bag so I'll bring them too
Rich
-
Hey guys! Its Stacy! :) We have tons of chairs we can bring down with us, as well as a cooler that we will bring w/ ice, soda, and water. Rich you can throw some adult drinks in there to keep them cool! :P Ill see what we have here that could work as a little table, that way you dont have to drag the table down.. Were all very excited about seeing everyone!! The weather is supposed to be good! Sunny and 60 :)
-
24 hrs to the invasion....ha haha!! Cape Cod will never know what hit it!! We can bring our camping chairs maybe put the food on extra chairs cause they are way easier to carry than a table? Who's bringing plates and utensils?
-
Hi,
I can bring plates and utensils!! Do we have any more attendees?
Rich
-
Have fun guys, I would love to go but unfortunatley the timing is good for me :( I promise I will get there though one of these trips
-
harley isn't a newf and we aren't close to the Cape but just wanted to tell you all to have a fabulous time and of course post lots of pictures!!!
Have fun
Randy & Harley
-
I'm not sure that we're going to make it :(
Sadie's continued yelping and falling has been making me very nervous and I don't know if she can handle all that Newfie fun right now. And we had some pretty yucky water damage from the flood. Nothing compared to some of the neighbors, but still yucky. Nothing quite like raw sewage leaking into your laundry room from the gross Merrimack River to lighten up your life. No power or hot water for a few days. It's just been a rough week. :-\
We'll see, I guess. I know she'd have a good time especially after being cooped up during this weather, but I'm definitely nervous about her playing too rough until my vet and I can figure out what's going on with those legs. :-\
-
Hi,
Sorry to hear of the damage, We did very well only minor water in the basement, do you need anything or some help cleaning up I have a shop Vac that did a great job on the water and mess if you need it let me know!!
One thing on that poor baby of yours is that the beach will be very soft on the legs and body, I can bring the collapsable pen so if sadie needs a time out we can stick her in there. Let me know we'd love to have you both out for some fun!!
Rich
-
Sadie has to come!!! Rich is right the sand would cushion any hard falls plus she could do some swimming. We'll miss you if you can't make it!
-
Hey whats this Shawna, you might not be able to come.
My argument is simple, while I understand your predicament "the shit will still be there :o" and the pack doesn't sound as though it will be as large as last time so we should be able to manage them pretty easily.
I hope you come but can understand your reasons.
-
oooh no!! :( i completely undrestand if you can't make it! i was definately excited to see how she has grown! but if you can't, there will always be another get together... i won't tell fumble just yet, it might make him sad.. and he's having a pretty memorable moment right now chewing on his chicken!
PS. we went to the beach today and fumble is still all sandy and wet from his laps in the ocean! it wasn't cold at all!
-

Am I reading this right does Fumbs have a Suspicious Chicken.
-

I'm going to play it by ear. She hasn't grown very much that I can tell. I think I accidentally got a mini-newf. She weighs a ton, but she still looks like a peanut. Which makes me even more nervous that something's wrong with her. Ah well, we'll try to clean up the house tonight and keep Miss Sadie quiet. Actually Rich, that's not a bad idea about the pen, I have one set up outside at the bottom of my stairs in case the critters get out now - maybe I'll bring it along. We'll see. Have fun if I don't see you guys.

Just want to warn the crew don't MapQuest the final section of the trip as it has you turn to early. I checked the Dennis Chamber's website and their directions match Eiren's so we will be following her's. See you guys in 12 hrs.
