Ugh! I don't have my work schedule yet (12 hr. nights at the hospital), most likely every thursday... maybe we can do it one of the furlough days the state gave Joel off.

We'll park and meet by the Wheelhouse Detroit. Someone else had mentioned that and it sounds like a great idea. For directions, google it.

sounds like a plan! see you there!

This sounds like a great event but I can't make this one. Please let me know when you plan another event. I have never walked the riverfront and am sad that I have to miss it.

dont know if we will be there today. Tom has a ride that was rescheduled for this morning, and I am not sure if he will be back in time :(
We will try, and definitely keep us posted for the next one.

anyone interested in having a lansing meetup this next weekend?

Still out of town but I could the weekend after next.

I'm working the 17th-19th 12hr. nights. off the 11th and 12th though and the weekend of the 24th

I really want to have a get together, but my wife and I will be out of town the next two weeks.

So Bonnie Joel and I went to the dog park behind the east lansing aquatic center last week, everything was fine until a young husky came, beautiful dog, black with blue eyes, anyway, this dog wouldn't stop harassing Bonnie! He kept knock her over, trampling her and even peed on her! He had her pinned on the ground when we were finally able to get that dog off her. She tried doing submissive gestures and showed her teeth when it pinned her but the dog would leave her alone. To top it off, the owner did nothing! in fact as we were leaving ( it really didn't take us very long to get her and go) he made a nasty comment something along the lines of we shouldn't come to the dog park if we can't handle it. Made both of us SO angry! and we felt bad for miss Bonnie. No more EL dog park for us!

Oh that is a drag! When we were there the people were nice and so were the dogs that were there! That is always my problem with dog parks. We have been to some that have a small dog area which makes me feel a little safer but none of them are here in Lansing. I still think a meet up in my back yard might be a good idea. It is fenced and private and I have bathrooms! Nothing but the best for us...

stephanie that is horrible!! i wish i had been there to tell the guy off.

Thanks ya'll! Bonnie thanks you too. It really is fine, was wondering though if other corgis go through the same stuff? In any case, we'd still like to meet some corgis around here sometime, whether at a park or at Bevs! :)

A really good trainer we went to told me dogs that are "different" looking can often be targets for dogs that are a little "off balance" so I have always been concerned when we are in a group of dogs. Sparty never seems to be the target of other dogs. I think it is because he is so dominant himself where as Izzy and Buffy always seem to be. They were always a little submissive. It is amazing how much more careful I find that people are with their dogs when I have the doberman with us. Guess I should not let on that our declawed cats boss her around!
Meanwhile we are home the this weekend and the next and I can meet during the week too. Any ideas? We could meet in East Lansing and walk on campus. Leashes would be a pain but it is pretty there. Or like I said my yard is available. I live in Haslett by Lake Lansing park north.

Hi Bev,

Willy and I would love to come over to play after work some night this week! We are also going to Annabelle's Pet Station on Capitol in Lansing today from 2-4. They are having a playgroup. One of the owner's of the store is in our Meridian Dog Park Planning Group and invited us - you should come too!

That makes sense. We are available Sunday (today), Monday Wednesday evening and this coming weekend... Could any of those days work for y'all?

How about Monday night or Wednesday night?? Around 6 or 6:30? Either would work for me. I will check the weather forecasts not that they are that accurate!

monday or wednesday evening sounds good.

That would be great! How fun! Would you like us to bring anything?

So are we getting together this evening then?

I am thinking Wednesday night instead because Misty and Sparty were throwing up yesterday. They probably just ate something but I want to make sure they are not sick before any one comes over. I sent messages with my phone number.

oh no! wednesday is fine with me if it works for you. looking forward to our corgi party!

Oh! Hope they are feeling better soon! Wednesday is good for us too, I don't think it will rain either.

Lansing area corgis finally met. What fun!

haslett corgi party!

Ha! Those turned out great! It was so much fun and so nice meeting you both! We really should get together again sometime.

Hey Everyone!

Is there anyone in/near Northville that has an interest in dog-play-days? My "Ed" is so in need of greater dog-socialization!

The MSU dog show is the weekend after Thanksgiving. Pembroke Corgis are at 11:00 and Cardigans at 1:30 on Saturday. I did not check the Sunday times but I will. It is a fun show as there is Obedience, Agility & Conformation. I will be there and would love to see other Mycorgi folks there!

On Sunday the Cardis are at 10:45 and the Pems at 1:15. This is at the MSU Pavilion. Is anybody coming or showing on that day?

Hello fellow Michiganders!
I am going to be in Lansing MI the weekend of 1/16/10 and was wondering if anyone knew of a good dog park or would like to meet up Sunday (1/17/10) morning/afternoon?
I am pretty new to Corgi ownership and would love to get to know people around the area (I'm from Saginaw, but travel to Lansing frequently).

Does anyone want to help plan a meetup for the summer or spring...I really want to get together with some fellow corgi lovers and their corgis. I am jealous of the FL and CA group (lol) they have meetups rather regularly.

I am in! I am willing to meet somewhere. Unfortunately we don't have a dog park with a small dog area. Some of us met last spring at my house in Haslett.

I would be interested too! When is the new Meridian dog park going to be finished?

Barkley would love this! If someone else will set this up I'll be sure to make it if I have the time available. I'd be willing to travel just about anywhere in metro Detroit.

There is a Dog park in Ann Arbor and it has a small dogs area.

We'd love to get together with a group of Corgi lovers. Stan isn't much of a rider but he will tolerate it.

Ok so we have a few let's set a date. How does April 24th or May 8th sound? I think the Ann Arbor dog park sounds the best as it has a small dog area.

We live in Ann Arbor and would love to join!

I could possibly do the 24th of April. Although it is tough for us Spartans to go to Ann Arbor unless we are going to Zingermans!

I understand that one Bev..my son and I are Spartan fans...but dad/hubby is a Wolverine fan....lol

Bella and I could swallow our Spartan pride to join in on April 24!

I would love to meet up! Have Roz will travel!

April 24th is so far away but I think Maya and I can make it.

As of right now, April 24th would work for us. Are there any pet friendly hotels close to A2 where we could spend the night?

Hi all, it looks like the 24th of April will be the date. Greg: I will do some checking and post hotels sometime later in the week. I am so happy we are having a good response. I know the date is a little far out there, but I figured it might be nicer weather, hopefully. Plus I had a knee replacement a month ago and I needed some healing time.

It's been too long since I checked my account!
I have 2 corgis who would love to attend. Since we moved out to Grass Lake they haven't had any play dates. Which dog park was chosen? Don't the A2 dog parks require permits?

Deidra, they do, but its not really enforced. I have NEVER seen anyone checking for permits. The dog park on elsworth and plat.

Could someone please verify about the permits? Can we get one day permits? I would hate to drive all the way down to Ann Arbor and it be the one day they do check for permits.

Yes I will check on this tomorrow and post as soon as I have the information.
