Anyone in the NJ area that would be interested in setting up a Lab meeting day? I know I posted before but my pup needs Labbie friends!

Where in Jersey? I'm in Philly for a while longer....

Well I live on the Jersey Shore but depending on where everyone (I guess that's you ane I so far) lives we could set up something in the middle.

I'm up for whatever, wherever, whenever. Don't know where to go in Jersey, though. Anytime this weekend or next weekend is good, if you're interested....

OK, if we can find a few more people we can set something up. I'll keep you updated

we live near in the suburbs of philly, pa and would be up for meeting :) just let us know!

brady is 4 months old and lovesssssss to play with any and every puppy or doggie :thumb4:

Great! That makes 3 so far!! My pup is 6 months but is going in for her Spaying tomorrow. It will be a week or two before she's up and running but hopefully we can set something up in a few weeks!

I'm a little late, but you know I'm in!!!!

Actually, I'm in....but I think Jason might have to bring some cheesesteak sandwiches from Jim's on South Street. What do you say Jason?

I agree Lucy's mom! No onions please Jason :brow:

I have seen a lot of NJ people in the last few days so hopefully we can get something set up soon. Tide is laying low for a week or so but after that most definitely. I'll start looking for places. Someone PM'd me with this place http://www.rockytopdogpark.com/ check it out and let me know what you think. Kind of pricey but could be fun! Although I think to set up an event we would have to be members.

I live in NYC but am willing to drive if not too far...Melo sure needs some friends!!!Hey Jason, I went to TEmple so i would like my cheesesteak from "THE Owl's Nest" across the street from the dorms...THanks:brow:

Mudd lives in Sussex County, NJ.
Can he come and play, too?:D

ABSOLUTELY!! The more the merrier!

Abbey is interested too. We are in Sussex County as well - Lake Hopatcong. We would love to come and play. Perhaps the first or second Saturday in April, depending on Tide's heal time? It looks like a great place!

Second Saturday in April works best for me. What about all of you? Tide should be all healed up by then and ready to romp around.

That should work for us. But I'm not bringing cheesesteaks, I'm trying to wean myself off of them.

No cheesesteaks???!! Then you can't come...JK! :D:brow:

I'll contact that Rocky Top Dog park and see if you need to be a member to have events. If so, we'll need a new place. So let's start looking :p:

We are talking about April 12th, correct?

Except for a haircut on the 12th (which is certainly movable) I'm in. Are we talking about the 12th or 13th?

And Jason....you don't have to EAT the cheesesteak....only bring them! :D

Saturday the 12th, yes. Anyone else interested?

And Jason....you don't have to EAT the cheesesteak....only bring them! :D

They are no good if they aren't fresh off the grill, and none of the places you guys mentioned are even in the same league as where I go. :wink:

you're right, they're not as good when you first get them, but when you live 90 mins from Philly you eat one there and bring one home. :D Where do you go so I can check it out next time I go? I'm jonesing for one these days, so it might not be in the too distant future. :D

Nothing like a cheesesteak and a milkshake for accelerated artery hardening.

Okay, I'm writing that down for future reference. Thank you! I love anything that you could call a heartattack on a plate. You just KNOW that's gonna be delicious! thank you! I'd like mine with just cheese please...lots of it. :D

I can't find anything that sounds as good as good as Rocky Top. Maybe we should try to make that work. Amanda do you need me to do anything to help? Also, how do we get the word out? Jason - can we post something in the Fire Hydrant?

I'm going to call Rocky Top tomorrow and talk to one of the Lady's I work with b/c she knows the lady that runs it. I'll let you know if I need any help. Thanks! Lets spread the word some how!!!

Fire Hydrant is fine with me, post away. I would suggest just putting a link to this thread so we can keep all of the information in one place.

As of now, sounds GREAT to me!!

Mio is not from Jersey but I'm willing to drive to Jersey pending where it is (NYC). Just let me know the details and I will let you know for sure :D if we can join you guys.

Great, More Lab friends! Once everything is arranged I'll let you know time and place. :cool:

I spoke to Gretchen (the owner) and she said that if 5 or more of us attend that we will get the discounted price of $5 per dog. You will need to fill out a visitors form which I believe you can DL one from the web-site. If not I’ll send you the form via e-mail (just PM me with your e-mail). I’ll also need a list of owners and dogs names that will be attending to send along to Gretchen so that it will be less chaotic the day of the meeting. You have the choice of PM’ing me with your full name and dog’s name so that I can make up the list or for those that don’t feel comfortable, sending Gretchen an e-mail with the subject line reading “Lab-Fest April 12<SUP>th</SUP>”. Please make sure she knows that you will be attending this event.

Look forward to meeting you all AND your Labs! :thumb4:

RAIN DATE:

I forgot to mention that in case of rain (only if it pours), the Lab Fest will be held on the following Saturday, April 19th (same time).

Trying to convince Hubby to go. I can't come alone because I have a two year old. So if he says yes, we will all come! Keeping my fingers crossed. I'll let you know. Thanks for inviting us NY's!

Sounds good to me. Just make sure you read over the rules and regulations about the park. I believe there is an age limit for children.

I know that is why I need Hubby to come. I figure he can go in the fenced area and we will watch from behind the fence. I assume that is where you will be going in the free run area, right?

On another note... has everyones dog done this before. My dog is really friendly but sometimes when out walking he will growl if another dog sniffs him the wrong way. He has always been around dogs running free and never seemed to have a problem although we new everyone. This would be our first time doing something like this and my husband wasn't so sure.

Yes, we'll be in the fenced play area with the pond.

Has your dog ever been to an off leash dog park? I take Tide to one at least 3 to 4 times a week so she's very social and used to meeting and playing with different dogs. If your dog doesn't like to be sniffed or jumped on by other dogs and puppies then maybe that environment wouldn't be suitable for him. Is it an aggressive growl? Tides very vocal when she plays (sounds like Cujo) but she’s not being aggressive at all. Some dogs are just more vocal then others. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

I hope you can make it.

I'm debating. It's a 2 1/2 hour trip for us & the dogs haven't been in the car for anything more than an hour.

I'm excited but also a little nervous too. We have not done a dog park since there aren't any nearby. Molly has played off-leash in our yard with another lab but not with a bunch of labs. She's usually pretty submissive so I think she'll be fine. We might spend a little time on the leash till I feel she's comfortable. I suspect the pond will be a big hit! Thanks for the reminder to check the park rules. And thanks for pulling this together..! :thumb4:

Yeah, the pond will definetly be a hit. DON'T FOREGET THE TOWELS FOR THE RIDE HOME!! In fact I have a car that has not been dog christened as of yet and am in the process of getting the rubber mat and fence for the car!

Thanks. I usually keep a towel in the car for just-in-case situations. I think she'll need more than that though, judging by her desire to frolic in the lake at our park.

Just out of curiosity, how old are everyone's labs? Molly is 1-1/2.

Tide will be 6 months March 29th.

I'll need about 20 towels for Tide. She LOVES to get dirty!

Lucy just turned 6 months...and she's never been in the water before so the lake will be interesting. Towels are something I would never have thought of, so thanks for the tip.

I really can't wait for this day...I think it's going to be lots of fun for both Lucy and me.

What a wonderful get together this sounds like!! My niece has her first communion on the 12th, but if it does rain that day, count me in for the 19th!! I'll watch and see how the weather goes but Chuck (he will be 8mos old then) and I hope for the 19th! Please keep me on the interested list!

Storm is 5 in years but in his mind he's 5 months! Hope everyone isn't a puppy.

I think there's going to be a nice mix of ages. And, most importantly, I think they will all come home quite tired...:thumb4:

Unfortunaly by the time I get home he will probably be recharged from the car ride!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. :D

I'm so excited for this!! Let's try and get the word out some more. Perhaps e-mail the link to your breeders. That's what I did in hopes to see some of Tide's littermates there.

I'm still waiting on the visitors forms to fill out but once I get them I will let everyone know. :D

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. :D

Yes, New Milford and Nyack are quite a hike. I grew up in Bergenfield so I am quite familiar with the trip you both are making. All the more reason to make sure we max out on the fun time! :D

Sounds good to me, I just sent you a PM. Can't wait - Mio will be fully booked that weekend :thumb4:

Oh bummer, looks like we won't be making it. We have this function (read boring) to go to that evening and will never be able to do both. My husband says we will be driving all day and be exhausted. Oh course we have to go 45 minutes the other way when we get home to get to it.

I hope you all have fun, I will be thinking of ya's! Please send pictures and we will have to try for next time. Storm is already bummed that he won't be able to meet everyone.

That stinks! Hopefully you can make it next time! Sent you an e-mail as well. Before I read this :D

How funny...I spent 4 years in Bergenfield (pre-school - third grade!!!).
We lived in an apartment near the Armory...long time ago!

I grew up in River Edge. My step brothers and sisters and ex-husband grew up in New Milford.

i can't believe...its such a small world!

I'm so excited for this!!

Me too. Now, before we've even gotten to our LabFest, Lucy's Mom and I have discovered (through PM-ing) that she is married to one of my childhood neighbors. :eek: Our families lived just 3 doors apart on a quiet road and, to this day, he keeps in touch with two of my brothers.

So, thank you, Tide's Mom ! :thumb4:

You are quite welcome!!

OK, all! I just received the visitor form that will need fill out and sign for you to attend the Lab Fest. I will e-mail it to you; just send me a PM with your e-mail address. Also, please make sure to bring proof of vaccinations with you the day of the event. Your dog will NOT be allowed in the park without them. Also keep in mind that no children will be permitted into the park under the age of 8. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause for any of you, but it's for their own good. Dogs play rough and there are a lot of boulders and rocks your child could get hurt on. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Thanks and if anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to contact me! I can't wait to see everyone there! Going to be a blast!! <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
SPREAD THE WORD <o:p></o:p>

Whoo hoo! I really can't wait for this!

We are totally in- Im so excited!!! I have contacted a few of you before and am glad we can all get together at once! I am so exhausted by this huge change in my life the move, job etc.) that I admit I have been a bit of a hermit. My only concern is the kennel cough Jim is coming off from. He was immunized so it was mild and only lasted about a week, but I read that even after they stop coughing they shouldnt be around other dogs for X amount of time... anyone know what X is exactly??? I have no clue. Amanda, PMing you now with my regular email address...

No I don't know about the kennel cough time frame. Check with your vet. It will give you peace of mind in making your decision. I hope you can make it. I can't wait to see all these wagging tails...

I have made up this flyer that I'll be passing around my area. If anyone would like a copy to distribute let me know and I'll e-mail it to you.

Getting super excited!!

I just got back on the site. Totally forgot about it, but my terror of a girl would love to come.

Water, running, and other dogs. These are a few of her favorite thisngs. Next to Waking us up, and whinning to go stand on the deck out back!


Any idea of the fastest way from The Suburbs of Philly?

we'll do our best to be there - we go to that park fairly often, it's fantastic!

April 12th will be here soon!

Don't forget to check the park's rules and regs so you'll have everything you need to get in. ;)

Noooooooo! I was just wondering about you today. Darn! Now how are we going to get our cheesesteaks? J/K of course. I'm really sorry you can't make it Jason. But if you've got stuff to do for the move, you've got to do it.

I know Amanda will be sorry you can't make it. We'll miss you.

I'm moving to Michigan. The movers will be here on the 22nd to gather up all of my stuff, so I need to make sure I'm ready for that. I have some personal stuff to handle that weekend that's going to eat up Saturday, so I won't be able to go. :( The puppers are sad too - they will have to be boarded, but it will be worth it to all of us in the long run.

I'm sorry you won't be able to make it. Good luck with all your moving plans. That's a lot to pull together. I remember just going from NJ to PA and there was so much to do. Best wishes for safe travel!

Oh, darn!!! That really stinks Jason! Well maybe you can drive from Michigan when we have the next Lab Fest :brow:. Jk! We'll miss ya and if I don't talk to you, good luck with the move and everything. Thanks for all your help as well. Much appreciated! :thumb4:

we wanted to come, Kevin got off work too but this morning, I fell down the stairs and fractured my ankle :( I am in an air cast and on crutches. I am not allowed to put any pressure on my ankle for the next 72 hours and I cant go to work for the next 2 weeks. Since I work from home some days, I can still work, I just cant physically drive into the office haha

It really stinks and I dont wish it on anyone! have a blast at the lab fest and count us in next one :thumb4:

OH NO! I hope you are OK? We'll definitely be having another soon so keep an eye out. So sorry you can't make it:(

We're dropping like flies people!! ;)

Did I say I'm representing the Jersey Shore? Just realized I never answered someone's question about that! OOPS!:brow:

It's legit! See you all on Saturday!

I just checked the website and I will be there with George. I was concerned b/c he is intact, but the only restriction I could find is that they can deny a specific breed known to be aggressive when they are intact. Don't think they mean labs! George does not have an aggressive bone in his body, has his GCG and TDI.

I did not find any downloadable form though. I emailed Rocky Top to tell them that I wanted to attend. I guess I will just fill it out when I get there. It is less than 1/2 hour away from me so I am looking forward to meeting all of you.:D

If you send me your e-mail I'll get the form to you. Or you can e-mail me abetsch@njsmc.org. Either way works! :D

Don't worry about it - Gretchen allows intact males on a case by case basis, especially with non-aggressive breeds. She'll probably just keep a close watch, which she does anyway with newcomers.

Also - I just wanted to let everyone know that the parking lot is kind of small there, so the earlier you arrive, the better. There is a pretty consistent group of 7 - 10 people who are there every Saturday from 10 - 1.

We're looking forward to seeing everyone there :thumb4:

So far the weather still looks iffy. They are still calling for showers so that could mean off and on all day or consistent. :( If its nasty all day and the showers don't let up then we will have to reschedule. If it’s just cloudy with showers off and on we’re still on! There is a rain date just in case for the following weekend.

I have had a few more people sign up so it looks like there’s going to be a decent size group. I can't wait to meet everyone and their pups!:D

I am assuming that we should check this thread in the morning to get the final decision, yes? Whatever you think is in the best interests of the group is A-OK with me...!

I think what I'll do, being I'm off tomorrow and my internet at my house is kinda out of whack right now, is have Lucy's Mom send out a message late tomorrow afternoon if the weather looks really bad so keep an eye out for that. If the weather is still iffy, then I'll post a comment early Saturday morning. Sound good? I hate to make a last minute decision like that but the darn weather men have been back and forth with showers or steady rain for the last two days! Jeesh!!! Can't they get it together? :brow:<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

BTW, I didn't see anything on the park website about the availability of drinking water for the dogs. Does anyone know if it's available or should be plan on bringing it with us? Can you tell I've never done a dog park before...?

Works for me!

I would bring water to to be on the safe side.

The dog park I've been bringing Lucy to doesn't specifically have water available but the parents bring bottles and share with everyone in the bowls that are provided throughout the area. Based on this, I went out and bought a gallon of water. Its not like it goes bad if you don't have to use it. :D

I work until 6:00, so my last post on Friday about the weather on Saturday will be around then. Like Amanda said, if the rain is scattered...lets do it. I've never spent so much time out in the crappy weather than I have since getting this dog....might as well try to have some fun with it. :D

Fingers crossed and hope to see you all on Saturday! Anne, I'll be wearing something that will guarantee you'll know who I am!

There is plenty of water available at the park - they have bowls out for the dogs and a hose to fill them with.

That's great, thanks!

I'm in Upper Black Eddy (near Ottsville). You're only about 20 minutes from me...!

Well then we will have to see how the pups get along. We have been thinking about new watering holes for Bailey J.

If we could make a decision before 9 AM that would help. We have an hour and a half drive and I have to take Bailey with me to church clean up day that Am before coming out to Jersey.

WIll keep checking through the night.

I have to leave by 9:15 to get there so be asured, there will be a message no later than that. I or Tide'sMom (if she can get internet access) will probably be posting a message by the end of the day today. Fingers crossed!!!!!

Latest from the National Weather Service (approx 6:00 pm Friday) for Kingston, NJ
