    We had talked about camping on the 1st w/e in August... Sorry I didn't get this better organized...but checking online I found a place we have been at for 3 camping trips and really like it... It is in New Era, not far from the Muskegon area dog park. Here is this link:

    http://www.holidaycamping.com/  Let me know if anyone is interested.

  • Bev Levy

    Darlene- I will be at Hoffmaster State Park in Muskegon on the 6th and 7th of August so if a meetup is planned we can come. I will miss the Ann Arbor one because of visiting the Grandkids in Denver. Have fun!
  • Dennay & Barkley

    Hey everyone!! Do we still want to try and meet up at the Michigan Renaissance Festival?! My hubby and I will be there with Barkley one weekend, we'd love to coordinate if anyone else wants to go!
  • Robert Trudeau

    I heard this past weekend they had a dog fest of some sort there. a friend of mine said she couldn't believe how many corgi's were there.
  • Claire Mak

    I'd love to go with my"kids".  Dennay, let me know what weekend & time.  Do you, or anyone else for that matter, know if dogs (on leash of course) are allowed there anytime?  Thanks.

    Claire, Lucy & Merlin(the Magnificant)

    Renaissance Festival has a wavier to sign. Its a 10$ fee for them to go in (on leash). I think the waiver also wanted proof of rabies/vac shots. And they want a recent photo of your Corgi so if they get lost they can be returned to you. or at least that's what they wanted last year :)
  • LaRissa L. Head

    I'm already planning on going to the ren faire this sunday with some friends. I will be bring Oona, but it gets too crowded for Roslyn.
    Anyone know what weekend they want to meet up?
  • Gayle M Jones

    Hello! I just got 2 new corgi puppies. I would like to meet other corgi owners in Michigan.
  • Bev Levy

    Anyone going to the dog shows at the MSU Pavilion this weekend?? The corgis start Saturday morning around 9:15. Anybody want to meet me there?

  • Danielle, Frank & Ellie

    I graduated from MSU & live in Lansing-- how have I not heard of this dog show?! I have a corgi, and am getting another on Friday (6 wks old!) I'm supposed to be out of town on Saturday though :( Have fun at the show!

  • Bev Levy

    There are 3 shows that weekend starting on Friday. Friday's show has limited breeds but Saturday and Sunday are most breeds plus agility and obedience. The corgis are  showing around 11:30 on Sunday too. So much to see!

  • Elizabeth Olsen

    Any meetup plans in the works?

  • Deidra

    I got Darlene's message about a meet up in Ann Arbor, May 19th. I'm all for this and so are my pups!

  • Elizabeth Olsen

    I haven't been able to find anything about this one. I'm so desperate to make it to a meet up I've been considering going to the one in Indiana in June!
  • LaRissa L. Head

    Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting up in Saginaw or Midland on June 2nd?

  • Gayle M Jones

    I would LaRissa. I live in Freeland, so either place is okay for me.

  • Joanna Jahn

    June 2nd would be okay for us, we live in Midland but would be willing to go to Saginaw :)

  • Bev Levy

    Darlene Hennesy has one set up for 5/19th in Ann Arbor on the main page under events. Probably should coordinate this.

  • Joanna Jahn

    I don't think we'll be able to go to the one on the 19th, my guy has his drill weekend with the reserves then, and Emma sometimes gets a bit uncomfortable in bigger groups of dogs (she starts to get a little too bossy). It's too much for me to try to keep up with both of my girls by myself. Hope it's a great time for everyone else though!

  • Gayle M Jones

    i will not be able to go to the one on the 19th either. I have a brother and sister, 9mos old. I know what you mean about keeping up with 2 of them. Sophie is quite bossy sometimes too, but Bruno is a lot more laid back.

  • LaRissa L. Head

    I messaged Darlene! I won't be able to make the Ann Arbor meet up either, I am in a wedding that day.
    I am going to go ahead a plan a small meet up in Midland, Mi on June 2nd for anyone that can make it.

    Here is a map to the dog park for people that don't know how to get there.
    If you need further directions just message me!

  • Kirsten

    Ahh I'm from Bay City but live in Ann Arbor and wish I could get up there to that meetup! I'm planning on being at the one on the 19th down here, but maybe I'll have my mom take Tilly to the one in Saginaw. 

  • Gayle M Jones

    I will try to make it to Midland. What time?

  • Bev Levy

    Hmmm I will have to think about this because the 2nd is actually better for me too.

  • Elizabeth Olsen

    I'll be there on the 2nd! Do you know if I need any special paperwork?
  • LaRissa L. Head

    Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay!
    Midland meetup with be at 1pm on June 2nd! Please feel free to message me with any questions.
    I can't wait for some corgi time!

  • Darlene Hennessy

    LaRissa, where is this Midland park at, are you posting on the main page also? We want to come.

  • LaRissa L. Head

    Event is now on main page, and map is in event details or a link is provided in my comment below. :)
    Can't wait to see everyone!

  • Darlene Hennessy

    LaRissa,

    Is the park the one on Ann and Ashman street. The google link you posted didn't have an address or a street. Is it the one in Chippewassee Park?

  • Darlene Hennessy

    So how did the meet go yesterday? I am sad we had to miss, but on the other hand our son got a shut out on his last hockey game of the season (actually his first shut out!)

  • Gayle M Jones

    yes, Darlene, I think it is that one. Across the Tridge.

  • Gayle M Jones

    My question is there parking off Jerome St.? On the map it looks like there is. The Tridge parking might be a problem with the farmers market going on.

  • Kirsten

    The only dog park I know of offhand in Midland IS the one in Chippewassee park. I haven't been there in awhile, but there is a small and large dog area. There's parking for the Tridge/park in the farmer's market circle, a few small lots near it by the hotels, and downtown. There should be parking near the skate park, since that is also in Chippewasse park, I'm just not sure on location. There's a road that runs into the skate park (off Jerome) that has boat launches, but I'm not 100%. Anytime we went there when I lived up there we just parked near the farmer's market and walked. The market runs from 7am-1pm so you may get lucky and miss some traffic!

  • LaRissa L. Head

    Yes, there is parking between the skate park and the dog park off of Jerome street. It's a decent sized lot, but if it is packed there are multiple parking lots near the hotels that are clearly marked for the Tridge and a short paved walk to the dog park from there.

  • LaRissa L. Head

    Hey everyone!
    I just wanted to remind you of the corgi meet up in Midland this coming Saturday (June 2nd). I will keep you all updated on rain, or last minute cancellations due to weather on the event page. I Hope more people sign up to go!  

  • LaRissa L. Head

    Midland, Mi June 2nd meeting Cancelled. There has been a lot of rain, and a 50% chance tomorrow, so I am guessing the tridge area will be too flooded/mushy to have a nice meet up.
    I am hoping to reschedule soon. :(

  • Pat Piotrowski

    Is anyone interested in a September meetup at the same oakland co park as last year?

    maybe mid to late sept??

  • Darlene Hennessy

    I can plan something for the 15th how does that sound to everyone?

     

  • Bobbi O'Hara

    Where in Oakland County?  We'd be interested in meeting up. 

  • Pat Piotrowski

    the 15th is good for me! what was the name of that park we met at 2 years ago in oakland co?

     

  • arthur h eschenburg

    I would be interested it would be good for Lucy

  • Darlene Hennessy

    OK so here is the plan: September 15th 11a-2p Orion Oaks Dog Park, 1200 Joslyn Rd. Lake Orion, MI Pass the info around. I will also post on home page and fb. http://www.destinationoakland.com/parksandtrails/parks/orionoaks/Pa...

  • Bev Levy

    Sorry, not able to that weekend. Have fun!

  • Bobbi O'Hara

    Anyone in the Ann Arbor area?  I was planning on taking Aayla to Arise Community Dog Park in Pinckney and thought I'd see if anyone else would be interested. 

    A few weeks ago, I found on a lump on Aayla's backside that turned out to be a mast cell tumor. It has been removed, she got the 'All Clear' and the subsequent mandatory rest period has been lifted.  To celebrate, we're heading out to the dog park so she can run her corgi energy off!    

  • Darlene Hennessy

    I would love to Bobbi, but we can't this week at all. I am happy that Aayla's given the all clear!!! You have fun!! Maybe next time.

  • Bev Levy

    The Winter Classic dog show is at the Michigan State Pavilion Dec.1st and 2nd. There will be a lot of dogs both conformation an agility. The Cardigans are 10am Saturday and the Pembrokes at 11am. Sunday they are both at noon. Let me know if anyone is going so I can look out for you because I will be there. This is a great show with many breeds there, I go every year and it is lots of fun. You can not bring your dog but a folding chair is handy.

  • Becky Focht

    Does this group typically get together in the summer months only?

  • Darlene Hennessy

    Yes when we get together it is usually during the spring-early fall. If you want to have one, feel free to post, we live all over so someone may show. I have traveled quite far to meet corgi friends.

  • Becky Focht

    Thanks Darlene, I think I'll take the wait and see approach since I'm new here. LOL! But I am anxious to meet up with some Corgi parents, and fur babies.
  • Bella & Chiba

    Hi Everyone!
    I live in East Lansing, MI. Does anyone live near me? I'd love for my little Chiba to meet other corgis!
