I saw an old thread for this but nothing seemed to come of it. So my SoCal friends, let's meet up!
I know it's not warm, so the beach may be out of the question, but anyone want to try a snow day at Big Bear sometime around the beginning of the year? Say, the weekend of January 5?
Eventually it'd be cool to get a weekly/monthly thing going but for now let's start with that
Wow what a fun afternoon! Rusty and Kerrie had a blast today. They were tired and slept the whole way home haha.
Rusty did awesome, and Kerrie Ann did pretty good too...until she started going after birds lol. Other than that, I had a great time and it was awesome to meet some folks from the forums too.
Oh...Max and Bear are sweet dogs and handsome pups! Good times indeed, and I can't wait for our next event. I do hope we meet at the beach again. It's awesome for the dogs that's for sure
Today we had a meet-up at the dog beach located in Huntington Beach, CA. It was an incredibly beautiful day--about 75 degrees and sunny. The beach is huge. There were a lot of dogs, but it did not seem crowded. It was a lot of fun. We were there with Max; Brave (Jen) was there with Bear; Melfice was there with Rusty and his Brittany, Kerrie. Everyone got along great.
We missed Dana who could not make at due to back problems. Hope to see her with Gibbs and Ziva next time.
Max and Bear had fun together--Bear ran into the ocean further to get the ball after he spent some time with Max. Bear looked great and showed not signs of having surgery. Here are a few pictures. I will post a short video of Max and Bear in the video section.
Bear just knew where we were headed about 15 minutes before we got to the beach, and while we were waiting to park, he was shaking the whole car with his excitement.
When we finally got to the beach, he TOOK off like a bat out of the underworld. I was SURE I would lose him. But after running about 1/2 a mile he turned around and came lumbering back to me. He was a social butterfly! And made some new friends. We were running around for almost three hours and no limp in sight!
Max was such a great influence on Bear. Bear was such a little chicken in the water. But when Max came, so focused on the chuck-it, and just DOVE into the water after that ball, Bear was all gung-ho! By the end of the three hours, Bear was RETRIEVING BALLS ALL ON HIS OWN! His first EVER water retrievals!!!
Check out our pictures. Bear had so much fun! He conked out as soon as he got in the car. We both slept all the way home.
Well, Ziva is old enough to do it now, so I don't have to worry about someone being home with her. We've got a show near the end of February, and we've got search and rescue training the first week of February, but other than that we are free.
Im about 40 minutes north of that place. Been wanting to check it out before the next Splash Dog event, but dont think I will get to... POSSIBLY next tuesday, but not sure.
Hello Im new to the group. I have 2 goldens Jones and Mindy just over 3 years old and we live about 5 miles from Huntington Beach Dog Beach. Somewhere I saw mention of the San Diego Golden meetup group and just wanted to add that there is also an Orange County Golden meetup group of which I am a member... I also wanted to mention on Sept 6th 2014 from 10-4pm Doggie Pool-ooza in Ontario, ca. one day only the open it up for dogs.
Summit wants to go to the water park! He needs another chance to get all the way into the water. Up to now, he just puts his head in and blows bubbles. And he likes the cold, although it doesn't really get cold here anyway.
But we'd also like to do something else if somebody has another idea.
Ticket wants to go to the water park again. Can we get enough goldens to rent the place for an hour or so like last time?
