with this nice weather holding through the weekend, I will be up for the Danny Jackson dog park at 10am (westpark/610 area, right?). It will be my first event with the HTAC, so Radar and Kayli will have loads of fun, and pictures will be plentiful.
We had a great time at the meetup today! Betsy LOVES going to the dog park (we go to Bay Area Park in Clear Lake), but I've never seen her have half the fun she had today with the herd of Corgis. It was definitely worth the ride out there and worth the rain.
great turn out! Radar and Kayli were at home with all the corgis. I forgot how good it feels to see so many corgis playing together. I don't what it is, but corgis know when they playing with other corgis. We need to do it again.
We might be able to meet up somewhere if it is early Saturday morning (before noon), and I'm thinking everyone might have plans since it's Mothers day on Sunday.
Does anyone know of a good (reasonable priced) dog friendly hotel in san Antonio? I have done some internet searching, but I was hoping to see is anyone has one in mind. I was looking for one near Hemisfair Park, or near a good park for my two corgs. If anyone has a lead please post or respond via gmail: hzamora315@gmail.com Thanks all.
I think most La Quinta's accept pets but might need to double check. All hotels downtown, near Hemisfair Park will be expensive, so the further out the lower the price goes I think. There are only 2 dog parks in S.A. but neither one has large/small dog seperation, the more popular one is near the airport. There are various regular parks around the city. If you have any questions about areas to stay just let me know as I just moved from SA.

The power of dogs can be found on the military channel's "War dogs of the pacific". Emotional program and when I was watching it, both corgs jumped up on the couch with me and we all watched it together. I wonder if corgis were used in any military service. I know they are now used in south Texas for hunting, because they are short, can get under the brush, and sables blend into the light brown foreground.
I might not be there tomorrow. I had my first bad bout with morning sickness today and heat and sunshine probably aren't going to help! But you guys have fun and stay hydrated!
We had a great time in spite of the heat, and it was nice to see everyone again. I posted a few pictures from the meet-up on my page. (If anyone's ever interested, larger versions can be found on our family's smugmug.com site: spector@smugmug.com.) Looking forward to the next meet-up, and I hope everyone stays cool in all this heat!
Thanks so much, Hector. Oh, and just realized I put in the wrong link for our family pictures--should be www.spector.smugmug.com. I have a separate gallery just for dog pics in case people don't want to wade through all my other stuff. :-)
Those are so good! You got great ones of Penny and Jet. We had fun Saturday! The next meet will be even hotter! We might have to meet at 8am next time!
I'm wondering if anyone is up for another meet-up at the Danny Jackson bark park on July 24th? We just added a second corgi to our family, a sweet tri-colored male who was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Louisiana. I think he'd love meeting some other corgi friends! We can't make it next Saturday, but would love to get together if anyone else can make it on the following Saturday (the 24th). Maybe 9:00 before it gets too hot?
I will plan on being there. The earlier the better, 7am is my limit. What is the name of the little guy? Glad too see that you got him before, well you know.. Is he your first rescue? Radar (my rescue from Johnson City) taught me a lot on "breaking" in a dog with stray issues. Which were all kept secret from me until I brought home, also got heart worms during his foster care, and I could go on, but is 100% better and I could not image my dog family without him.
Hector, the new guy's original name was Fred (Freddy), so we're sticking with that for now. Betsy was also a rescue. She's been an amazing dog, with absolutely none of the behavioral issues one associates with rescues, and very easy to train. She did have heartworms, which were successfully treated. Freddy is a big, burly guy, very quiet so far, who loves human affection and seems to get along well with other dogs. He's had a bit of a hard time recovering from his neutering last week (top layer of stitches opened up, but now healing very well. He looks to Betsy for guidance (and she's happy to give it, LOL, in a surprisingly patient way most of the time). If Betsy is any example, we probably won't see Fred's true personality until we've had him 3-4 weeks, but he's been a real sweetie so far. I hope he'll enjoy the corgi meet ups as much as Betsy does!
Regarding the 24th--we probably can't make it too much earlier than 9, as we're coming from Seabrook and have to roust two sleepy kids out of bed. But we'd love to beat the heat, too, and might show up a little earlier if we can!
