Do you have to be from Ohio to go to this? Or can one make it a road trip???

How adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[juliette]

It would be 558 km road trip...about the same as driving to Montreal from downtown Toronto.

And when you consider that we have (on occaisions in University) driven to Montreal for lunch and driven back...all things are possible. :D

[knockout]

I actually looked into it - it would take about 6 hours...
It could be a weekend road trip!!!

The Ramada Inn accepts pets... with a $50 deposit!!!

It's right on Route 43!!!

HOW FUN!!!!

[onebigmickeyfan]

Checked Mapquest it is 4 1/2 hours from me. That's my birthday weekend. HHHMMMM. Does sound like lots of fun.


Lori, Missy and the Case Man

[knockout]

If you want to stay at the ramada - the rooms are booking up... It's the only place I saw that accepts pets... I believe it's RIGHT DOWN the street from the park... The number is 330-678-0101. I just got the standard room for both Fri and Sat.
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[juliette]

Hmm, Bob, I think you have created a monster. This almost sounds like it is turning into a DBB roadtrip.

If there is a group interested in doing this we could always add additional "events" around the weekend for meeting up. Yes, I am an event manager and yes, I would volunteer to coordinate it.

Let me know

[knockout]

Am I the monster or the roadtrip idea??? hehehehe:raz: :raz:

I would be driving up Fri and getting there late evening... Staying Saturday and coming home mid-afternoon Sunday...

I am more than interested in more events and more than willing to HELP:help: (even is it is from 416 miles away! :)

Maybe there's something we can do at that hotel since they accept pets?

:jacks: :jacks: :jacks:

let me know...

[onebigmickeyfan]

Just Booked for Saturday at the Ramada. If you pay on credit card there is no pet deposit.

They have banquet rooms and a nice outdoor bar and patio area also.

:partytim: :partytim:This is going to be fun.:partytim: :partytim:
As long as Bob wears his Super Moderator shirt (yes Juliette I did actually get him a shirt with a big S on the front).:D
LOL

Lori, Missy and the Case Man

:bounce: :pink:

[maryanne]

We're too far away!!!:tears: :tears: :tears:

Ah well, although it's not the same maybe they'll have a Dachsie Meetup in Madrid...

The other day I saw two young black and tan minis who really reminded me of Jake and Juney. They were sooooo cute playing together.:)

[knockout]

New Jersey... I work in Manhattan...

kelly

[blazeman]

you are coming for sure?

[knockout]

and unless something comes up, I'll be heading up Friday night.

sound ok? I love road trips... Just hope Scrappy and Nyla will be ok with that ride. Have to tire them out before we get in the car?


:snoopy:

[blazeman]

This is the first of these picnics I am attending.. I assume it will be OK... :) there is an email below to preregister... make sure you do that... so they know if you are coming.

[knockout]

where to pre-join?

Is it open to anyone or no?:(

[onebigmickeyfan]

I sent an emailto: NEOD@neo.rr.com to RSVP

I went ahead and called. They said just send an email. Subject Line : PICNIC RSVP to the above address
and list who is coming - name and number of people and dachsie's and where you're coming from just for fun.

Thats all you need to do. She said they had over 200 dachshunds last year.

Lori, Missy and the Case Man
:bounce: :bounce:

[blazeman]

They have said that they get people from all over Ohio... a other states... They just like knowing who is coming!

[onebigmickeyfan]

Hi All,

I just got an email from Susan at Northeast Ohio Dachshund and they are posting the Ramada as a dog friendly hotel on the picnic sight. Since there are alot of folks coming in on Friday they may try to set up something fun for Friday evening as well. Looks to be a really fun weekend.

Also there is a prize for the dachshund that traveled the farthest to get there as well.

Lori, Missy and the Case Man
:bounce: :bounce:

[Lovmyalfred]

Sounds like a fun weekend. Me and my clan are going to come up for it. Can't wait to meet all the DBB people.

[juliette]

Okay, so I wonder if coming from a totally different country counts as traveling the furthest?

We will be there on the Friday night - we will leave early day on Friday and make a leasurely drive of it.

See you there!

Cheers

[blazeman]

Wow! This is turning into a DBB event :-) I guess there is no way for me to back out now huh? :D

[juliette]

Hey, we are coming to see the new munchkin!
You better show up (would look very, very bad on you not to!)

[blazeman]

Jake is sad... you don't want to see him...

(I told him he can beat his brother up after we get home) :D

[juliette]

We definately want to meet the adorable, wonderful and incredible Jake......and the new munchkin.

Poor Jake, not only will he be dealing with a new brother, then he has all his DBB "cousins" to deal with that weekend.

This is going to be entertaining - 5 hours in the car with the furkids....

[blazeman]

OK... he is much happoer now.

There are going to be about 200 or more people there... wow... this is going to be big :D

[onebigmickeyfan]

I cant believe your coming Juliette. That is fantastic.

DBB PARTY JUNE 12th PLUM CREEK PARK 12 to 5.

Lori, Missy and the Case Man

[Heide]

:crying:
It sounds like its going to be a blast...:bounce:
take lots of pics all so we can see...:bounce:
Heide:(

[knockout]

getting to excited to see hundreds of FURKIDS! Oh and I believe Scrappy and Nyla will be accompanied by their new brother if everything gos well! (I think I have decided on the name Bosco)...

I hope this SIX hour ride ain't too bad with 3 pups... :( :afraid: :circle:

[onebigmickeyfan]

We're going to need a big DBB sign so we can all find each other easily. Sounds to me like some event planning needed here Juliette. I volunteer to be official dbb photographer for the day. I love taking pictures and I have the Sony F707 digital so I will be snapping away. So everyone who cant come will get to enjoy the day right along with us.:)

Lori, Missy and The Case Man
:bounce: :bounce:

[Lovmyalfred]

That sounds like a great idea. I will help in anyway I can. How many of us will be there so far? This is going to be so much fun!

:flower: :flower: :flower: :flower:

[onebigmickeyfan]

CONGRATULATIONS:partytim:

He's too cute for words.

It'll be fun to get to actually see him and the girls in person (in canine) lol.

Lori

[lotsadox]

I'm so jealous! I'd love to be there, but just can't make the trip from Texas. Take lots of pictures Lori. At least I can enjoy those even though I can't make the trip.

[onebigmickeyfan]

It seems my sweety Zeke will be attending the picnic with us.

:D

Lori, Missy and the Case Man
:bounce: :bounce:

[blazeman]

Our Wire boys, and our black and tans (yours dapple) will be able to meet, play and become great friends!

[onebigmickeyfan]

Chewy's coming too. I am so happy.

What fun they are going to have.

Lori, Missy, Zeke and the Case Man

[Lovmyalfred]

I made reservations today at the Ramada. Is that where everyone else is staying? It is dog friendly,right? I did not call and ask, I'm just trusting you all. If you have not made your reservations yet, you should. They are booking up! Alfred and Chewy are so excited, they love adventures. So when is everyone getting there? Should we plan for a get together on Friday or Friday night?

[knockout]

off work on Friday - so I can leave anytime. Should take about 6 hours, so if we DO plan to meet up, let me know so I leave early enough! I hope to leave by 9am, but we shall see! I'd like to wear out the little buggers before I take the trip!

[onebigmickeyfan]

and Missy and Zeke will be driving up on Thursday. We are going to go to 6 flags on Friday morning and back in time for fun that afternoon.
BTW all who are interested in a roller coaster fix on Friday are welcome to come along.

We need to all get a date for a chat set up and work out details for Friday.

Lori:bounce:

[blazeman]

I won't be able to head down for that Friday. I am taking a few other days off to get the new little man. I will be down there saturday thought :D

[blazeman]

You guys are going to kill me... but I won't be able to stay for entire picnic. I JUST remebered about tickets to "The Lion King" I bought last November. I will need to leave about 3pm... to get back up north and get ready to go.

I was thinking of coming down ealier... maybe we could all get there before the picnic starts?

[onebigmickeyfan]

Hmmmm.

Not feeling quite blown off yet are we guys.

I guess we'll have to make time for you if we must.
:D

Lori:bounce:

[blazeman]

I'M SORRY REALLY I AM!!

I was just going through notes in Outlook and saw "July 12th" as the title of one of them. Read it... and thought... I am a dead man!

The show isn't until 7:30... but it is in downtown Cleveland... and we usually go out to dinner before the shows. I make maybeone trip to Playhouse Square every few years... this just happens to be it.

[knockout]

I guess that's better than NOTHING??!??!

[onebigmickeyfan]

Boy between the missing dog post and this you're digging yourself in good.:D

I am sure we'll be able to work something out.

Lori

[blazeman]

I know... BAD, BAD Bob...

I do feel bad about this...

[Lovmyalfred]

Alfred and Chewy are sad!:( They want as much play time with Jake and brother as they can. You can just leave your boys with me! I won't take them home to Alabama, I promise! LOL!:devil:

I missed the missing dog thing. What is that all about?

[onebigmickeyfan]

HERE IS THE BAD BOB LOST HIS DOG AND SCARED EVERYBODY POST
I LOST MY DOG TODAY (http://www.dachsie.org/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5471)

LORI

[blazeman]

[Mark]

[juliette]

Sure enough I am being asked to be out of town that weekend (Israel this time) so we won't be able to make it down to this :(

One of these days I will learn and BOOK VACATION time!

Sorry folks, we'll just have to find some other time to all meet up..

[blazeman]

Hey der Juwuette... dis is Woody. Da hudaddy left the computer cwose to my house today and I is writin to tells you I will mis not seeing Otto and Jinxie. I was wooking forward to learning all sorts of stuff dat Jake doesn't teches me. He is cool and all... but he knows nuffin about the Greasies you talk about...

But i understand you needs to work to keep my friends under the happy roof you has der... so I won't let if bugs me for 2 longs... only a few months (in my little puppy mind... it will be more like a few minutes).

[onebigmickeyfan]

Sorry to hear you guys won't be able to come. I don't know how I'll break it to Mark. Poor baby he's been planning which of his favorite local beers he's bringing to share with you guys. :D I am quite sure he'll bring some anyway. He gets all excited when he finds someone else into dark beers. I'll be sure to get lots of pictures.. You, Chris and your puppers will be missed.

[Lovmyalfred]

I'm sorry you won't be coming.:( I was looking forward to meeting you. You'll will be missed.

[Heide]

we could make it out there with u all...:(
It would be so neat to meet , our doxie family.
:bounce:
Cant wait to see all the pics that will be posted...
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
Lori you can tell Mark to bring some of those special dark beers our way to Ms...:fierce: We would like to indulge also...:D

[dachsiemom]

Thanks for the info! A local shopkeeper told us about this last fall, but I'd totally forgotten about it until today. Sounds like a good time; I'll have to check with dh about it.

I'm a little concerned, though, that my ornery dh may find a little too much in common with some of you ornery folk . . .

dachsiemom & the wonderpups: Lady, Annie, & Lucky

[onebigmickeyfan]

Looks to be a very good time and the more dbb folks the better. I am having a DBB sign made up so it will be easier for us to find each other.
Hope to see you guys there, your husband and my husband could very well get into some trouble. Mark refuses to grow up and I honestly doubt he ever will. He's my big sweety.
I am wondering if they make Hug a Husband halter? Could have him match Missy and Zeke. And get the extra strong flexi leash. I think I may have found an untapped market.:D

[juliette]

If you decide to start making those Hug a Husband halters & flex leashes - I will be your first customer ;)

I'm still upset I won't be there - it will have to be MAJOR war in Israel for me not to go unfortunately.

Cheers
J

[onebigmickeyfan]

Was wondering who all is planning to attend.

[blazeman]

I will be there with my boys! Who else?

[juliette]

even though my Israel trip has been cancelled, we've decided to take the furkids to see the ocean and will be in Maine next weekend instead!

Have a great time!!

[blazeman]

J doesn't love us "yanks" anymore :(

Maybe I was to mean with the sore neck comments :D

[juliette]

I like yanks...we are going to MAINE (which last time I checked we haven't annexed yet...)

I'm just going the ocean rather than inland route this time :D
We've been inspired by swimming puppers and my newfie husband who is getting salt air withdrawl!

Hope the picnic is great and we can't wait to see pics!

[blazeman]

If Chris want the salt air... I can get a salt block... and put it in some water... and mist it for him :D

[juliette]

Bob...you have such a romantic soul...

obviously...

NOT!

[blazeman]

:cool: ;) :raz:

Enjoy the time off, and don't use the laptop if you can help it!! We do plan on seeing you for the 7th Annual NEODFP!

[knockout]

for this weekend - when are we meeting? Fri nite?

I am leaving here Fri morning... It should take me about 6 hours to get there. What FUN, right? I am going to have to stop along the way - so it may actually take me longer... I just need to see some form of human life (and dachsie love) when I finally arrive...

[onebigmickeyfan]

The Ramada has an outdoor patio so we can bring the pups with a cabanna bar:D . Just sent you a private message with our cell phone number so you can call when you get in. We are going on Thursday afternoon and going to 6 flags Friday morning but well be back to the hotel by the time you get in. We'll hold off on dinner till you get there. What time do you want to head to the park so we can tell Bob when we'll be there?

[blazeman]

I plan on trying to head down to the park where the picnic is around 9 or so... it will take me about an hour to get there I think... should put me there around 10... anyone else getting there that early?

[knockout]

Since we'll BE there already - we can get there any time you want us there! I am assuming between 10 and 11? Not too early - the pups and I have a long trip Fri and need our beauty sleep for all the fun we'll have!

I am going to try and be on the road at approximately 8 or 9 am. So - I think I should be there no later than 4 PM Fri nite? (fingers and paws crossed)

and PS - I think SOMEONE needs to clean out her provate messages inbos so I can give her MY cell! hehehehe

:devil: :devil: :devil:

[blazeman]

I wasn't going to say anything to the moderator with Missy and Zeke in her signature about the PMs :D

[onebigmickeyfan]

10 or 10:30 would work for us.

[Heide]

we could be there with u all.
I bet you all have a great time and so looking forward to all the pictures that will be coming our way (hint hint)
:flower:
You all be safe and drive safe and take lots and lots of pictures for the rest of us that cant make it:crying:

[Annie's Mom]

We'll drive down to Akron for this. Can't wait! :D

[SirOliversMom]

This thread is old - 2003.

[tiggermiss]

I was wondering why I was reading a post from 2003!!!!!!!

[Annie's Mom]

I thought I was reading about an event coming up this July, until I looked up the date and found out that the 12th of July is a Tuesday, not the Saturday mentioned. :dizzy:

So will there be anything like this in the Northeast Ohio area this year? Does anyone know?

[ajers&me]

There is a NE Ohio Dachshund Picnic this year. You are reading a thread started for the picnic from 2003. This years picnic is on the 9th of July. There is another thread for this years picnic.
