    The 23rd sounds good for us - we are in Okemos (next to East Lansing).  Lansing's dog park isn't too great...  and will start using an electronic entry system April 1.  East Lansing's dog park is small, but sufficient.  Maybe this summer we can all meet at the beach dog park in Muskegon - I have never been there but Willy LOVES running on the beach!
  • Bev Levy

    We can do the 23rd. The East Lansing dog park is small and very sparse but is easy to find and OK to use. I also would not recommend the Lansing one. We can all hope for good weather!
  • LaRissa L. Head

    23rd works for Roslyn and Oona!

    I will keep my fingers permanently crossed for good weather!

  • Laura and Maggie Moo

    Lansing is good for us as well as the 23rd. Sounds like the East Lansing dog park? A beach visit would be fun too (closer to summer). Keep me posted.
  • Darlene Hennessy

    Ok the plan is we will meet April 23rd at the Northern Tail Dog Park @ 2p. For those who haven't attended before we usually hang out for about 1-2hrs. I am all for a beach day in the summer! Gracie learned to swim last summer and loves it! Gunner not so much. He mostly likes to run on the beach.
  • William (Willy)

    Darlene,

    Your corgi swims!?!  That is seriously impressive! Maybe Willy can take some swimming lessons from her this summer if we go to the beach.

     

     

  • Darlene Hennessy

    Yes, Gracie does. She even jumped off the dock to get back into the water! I never got a shot of her jumping tho. I was just about to post some of the pictures from last summer of them in the water. When we went to the park in Auburn Hills last summer, she jumped right in!
  • Laura and Maggie Moo

    sounds good.
  • Crystal Haslip

    Sounds Great! We are coming from Sarnia,ON and as I said previously this is our first corgi meet up. I will google directions on how to get there and weather permitting we will see you all on April 23rd!
  • Willette

    We will try to make it. We will be getting our Pembroke, Norman, the week before. He will only be 10 weeks old. But our Cardigan, Walter, will be 5 months old and would have a blast!
  • Pat Piotrowski

    I hope I can make it!, I wont take Kate this time but Ringo would love it!
  • Bob Stevens

    Neville and Trevor can't wait! See you April 23rd.
  • Elizabeth Olsen

    Mina voted yes with all her short lil paws!
  • darlene

    Sorry Darlene, Maxine and I will be in Seattle that week visiting my brother.  Hope the weather is great for everyone and we will see you at the next one.
  • ♥Deborah

    Would love any information on meetings closer to the Grand Rapids area....
  • Stephanie Sebright

    Deborah,

     

    I am near GR and Laura & Maggie Moo is also.  My husband is going to look over his schedule and see if there is a time in the next two weeks we could meet up.  I will keep you posted.  We are in Wayland.  Where are you located?  I have 2 girls that are 10 months.  Maggie is their litter mate!

  • Elizabeth Olsen

    Everyone still planning on going Saturday?
  • Laura and Maggie Moo

    As long as the weather holds,we will be there.  What information for the dog park do we need to bring?
  • Darlene Hennessy

    Because of the very wet spring weather, I cancelled this weekend meet up. I did repost a new date, May 1st, which is a Sunday. Same time 2-4p, and same place.  Bev Levy lives near this one and said it will probably be wet and muddy. I will be scheduling monthly outings for the remainder of the year also, hopefully even when we once again have the white stuff on the ground, nothing like a corgi bunny hopping through the snow!
  • Stephanie Sebright

    That is fine.  My poor pups have been sick the past couple of days anyway.  My vet said a viral infection has been going around.  They seem to be doing much better today, they are back to fighting...lol. 
  • Crystal Haslip

    No problem. The 1st works for us!
  • Laura and Maggie Moo

    AS far as I know, the 1st works well for us too!!

     

  • Stephanie Sebright

    Is the May 1st play date still on?  Rain was forcasted earlier in the week but now it looks like it has been changed to partly cloudy with sun.
  • Bev Levy

    I am going to try to check it out either tonight or tomorrow. I went by there yesterday and the entrance was flooded so no entry. I will let you know!
  • Bev Levy

    Ok I checked and the entrance is a little muddy but not bad. If we do not have more rain it should be fine. However, more rain is predicted Saturday night or Sunday...so I am fine with either giving it a try or rescheduling. If we reschedule I can't come until the weekend of May 21 or 22 which is also when the East Lansing Art Fair is on so it would be a more fun time to come. This park is very basic, no seating or small dog area, just grass and some trees. It is easy to find because it is behind a water park on Chandler (which is also Abbot, a main street) Let me know what folks think.
  • LEANN FIELDS

    Is the meet-up still on for this afternoon?  We are driving up from Ann Arbor.  It's raining down here.
  • Bev Levy

    Sorry Leann, it got changed to May 22nd on the main page events but not in here. After a very light rain here this morning it cleared and we probably could have done it. Oh well this spring has been unpredictable!
  • Darlene Hennessy

    I am so sorry Leann, I forgot to post it here also, when I changed the date. I was tired when I was posting yesterday, and simply forgot.
  • William (Willy)

    We went anyway, and there were four cute little corgis there. Finally some decent weather!!
  • Darlene Hennessy

    @ Willy: I am glad you went and had fun!
  • Bev Levy

    Sorry I did not know I would have gone over. The weather after a couple tiny drops cleared right up. Go figure! It is Michigan so you never know from one minute to the other what the weather will be!

    Don't forget our first meet up for the year!  May 22, 2-4p. Northern Tail Dog Park in East Lansing!! Hope you all can come!!
  • Bev Levy

  • Bev Levy

    It was hot, fun and a little muddy in East Lansing but there were about 15 corgis there. Lots of fun and interesting!
  • Darlene Hennessy

    I have posted the next meetup on June 25th in Ann Arbor. I was wondering if anyone might be interested in going to Muskegon for a meet. We maybe could do a weekend, possibly camping?? Thoughts on this.. Here is a link about the park.. it is on the water. http://www.muskegon-mi.gov/departments/parks/kruse/ I thought maybe in July, or early in August. 
  • Bev Levy

    I can not make it to the June 25th meet but would go to the Muskegon one if it is planned for the 1st weekend in August. We are camping there that weekend.
  • Dennay & Barkley

    We also cannot make the meetup on the 25th, but we love the idea of going camping with the pups in Muskegon the 1st weekend in August!
  • Ben Rule & Jena Santa Maria

    We are new to the site. Where can we find the information about the June 25th meet up?
  • Darlene Hennessy

    Jena and Ben, You can find the information on the main page under events. Hope to see you there!

  • Deidra

    We would love another meet-up in Ann Arbor! The 25th is good for us.
  • LaRissa L. Head

    Roslyn and Oona should be able to make the A2 MeetUp! I would really enjoy a camping trip to Muskegon!
  • Laura and Maggie Moo

    Is the Orion Oaks meet-up August 8th or July 30th?
  • Darlene Hennessy

    I was wondering if the meet up should be on Sun the 31st of July, and we can attend the Yappy Pet Expo there., it sounds like fun.. I was about to post on the main page for the 30th and then saw this..Thoughts?

  • Darlene Hennessy

    @ Lauren and Maggie Moo... Please see the post about the Yappy Pet it is Sunday, the 31st, and no it isn't on the 8th. I will remove that playdate from the site.

     

  • Bev Levy

    What is the Yappy Pet Expo and where is it?
  • Kirsten

    Tilly and I would love an Ann Arbor meetup too! Is one for sure yet or is it all just in the works?
  • Darlene Hennessy

    Sorry...Yappy pet expo is at the orion oaks dog park... Here is the link It is on July 31st...I actually thought it looked like fun!
