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 ;)

It was so nice meeting all of you and your wonderful doggies! Brave, I wanted to stick Bear in my bag and bring him home. What a sweet little puppy!
Max is such a ham! Such a big, handsome and sweet loverboy! Thanks to Max's Dad and Mrs. Maxes Dad for taking the long drive.

Wicamnca, LilBitBit, Goldenca, and Golden Jack Puppy and everyone else who I can't remember your names (i'm sorry!), thank you all so very much for coming and making this a magical day for me and for all of us really. :wave::smooch::D

So Cal meet up Photos

We had a great time today at the meet-up. Thanks so much to DanaRuns and TheresaD for hosting and to everyone who came. Nothing like a dog park full of smiling Golden Retrievers. Here are a bunch of photos, in no particular order. We did a group photo, but trying to get a dozen or so dogs to pose is pretty much impossible. I really cannot identify too many dogs, other than I believe Smooch and Bailey are being held in the group photo. At one point, Max decided he had enough and ran out to join me. Several people drove 75 to 100 miles to be at the event!

More photos of the get together

It was great meeting everyone. I hope we can do this again in the near future. We were fortunate to have a beautiful day, sunny and nice. Plus, a gorgeous, well-maintained dog park.
By the way, Max was also worn out, he slept the whole way home, and is asleep on a chair in the living room right now. I believe more photos will be posted by others soon.
Here are a few more photos . . . :)

That was Ticket's first time at a dog park and the first time meeting more than 4 dogs at once. It was nice meeting everyone. My furry friend is now fast asleep next to me on the couch.....
Too much excitement today!
Ticket did GREAT!!!

Bear and I passed out for the entire 90 min drive home. As soon as we got home, I passed out on the couch for a nap and when I woke up, Bear was sleeping in the crook of my arm. My DH told me as soon as Bear ate, he came to snuggle with me. I managed to entice him out of his coma long enough to do his evening ear dose, and he's back to sleeping... on my foot!

I had so much fun. Bear had so much fun! My house hasn't been this quite in weeks!!!!

Special thanks to Aly's owner, and LitBitBit and Teddy's owner (not a forum member) for helping wear this little devil out.

Max's Dad... the photo of Max running to you with his tongue hanging out is PRICELESS! It shows him to perfection. I loved meeting all of you and seeing all of this beautiful, delicious, photogenic faces.

Pictures will be posted soon. :)

It's great to see all the pictures of everybody and it looks like you all had ball but who the heck is who? Maybe one of you could take one of the group shots and do a left to right...people...dogs :)

We had a great time! Smoochie slept all the way home, came home and slept from about 6:00 to the morning. I'd say she had a great time. :) Special thanks to (*I think??*) Brave's hubby for playing Chuckit with Smooch for so long.

We definitely need to do it again as long as DanaRuns doesn't mind us taking over the dog park again. :) It was a perfect location and loved that it was mostly just us!!! We could try meeting up in dog beach when it gets a bit warmer as well.

If it was the lanky man in cameo pants and a black hoodie, yep, that was my DH. He says your welcome. :)

He says he had an ulterior motive. He wants to test the chuck-it. I think he's just happy to have a dog play fetch with him, FINALLY! Bear fetches with me, but plays keep-away with my DH.
