Hi,everyone! I haven't posted on here before. We spent the afternoon at Paws in the Park and had a blast. Only saw one other Corgi and turns out we know the owner! He is one of my child's teacher. Izzy loved seeing all the other dogs. She wore herself out and slept all the way home! I hope we have another Corgi group meet up soon. We haven't been able to go to one yet, but after seeing Izzy have so much fun, we will try our hardest to go to the next one!
I live in Alvin so I don't know anything about the dog parks in Houston. Hope someone will give directions! Alvin Parks Department will be hosting Bark in the Park sometime in May, This is the second year of this event. It is an event to raise money for a new animal control facility and dog park. As of now we have no dog park. I will post more info later. Hope everyone can come!!
Hello corgi lovers! I just found MyCorgi.com and am excited to see other owners crazy about their corgis! We live in the Friendswood area and hope to meet other corgi families sometime!
Welcome, Kara! That's my daughter's name. I live in Alvin so we are almost neighbors! Hope we have a meet up soon. Izzy and I have never been to one. We would like to meet other Corgi families, too.
Thanks for the welcome Ann and Izzy. Alvin is where I grew up! We go to the area every week for Agility class. I look forward to meeting you sometime soon I hope!
It is called "Dogs Need a Job" and that definitely describes my dog. We are not that great at it (yet) but she loves going. It is b/t 517 and Hwy. 6. I am not sure if it is Alvin, Dickinson or Santa Fe? We are the only corgi in our group so you should join us!
Is this going on the 28th still? My wife and I have been wanting to bring George and Newman to one of these for a while now...but unfortunately we are traveling with them for Memorial Weekend :( Not to worry though, we will certainly make the next meetup if date is decided for 28th.
Oh I wish Izzie could join everyone! Unfortunately she's having possession issues with, well, everything and we haven't been able to go to a dog park in a while.
I hope the meet up is still on because sadly, it is all I have been looking forward to all week. We will be there at 9:AM and can't wait to meet any other corgis!
We had a great time at the meet up! Daisy was pooped out from all the barking!! I didn't get a great group picture but I will post the ones I have under my page. You guys have some of the CUTEST CORGIS!!!
Yes! Let's have a meet up soon! Johann and I have never been to a dog park.. the only one up in Kingwood has a lot of restrictions... he's not 6 months yet nor has he been fixed, so we can't go. You also have to register, provide vet records, and pay dues... Are there any rules/registration/dues for the other dog parks in Houston?
I go to the Bear Creek dog park on Hwy 6 every weekend and they are pretty care free. They just ask you don't leave your dogs there un-attended and to keep a copy of your vaccination records in case there is an incident ( I have yet to see anything happen). It is a very large dog park with a gated track in back. It's a lot of fun!
June 25 sounds good for me.. I don't have a preference for location because we haven't been to any dog parks before. Time also doesn't matter to me, so long as we aren't out too long during the heat of the day. Oh Houston summers... But yes, we are really looking forward to our first meet up with you all :)
Bentley and I can't go on the 25th :( Bentley is getting neutered that Friday before so I dont think he will be up for it. If ya'll decide to change, the morning of the 18th would be better for us. :)
I can make the 25th but will miss Bentley! :) I'm pretty open on locations too but vote for any dog park with a pond for the pups. 9:AM seemed to work well last time. It will probably already be 90 degrees by then but maybe we can all sneak in the pond!
Pudge checked his social calendar and he's wide open for the morning of the 25th. We have no vote on any location since, well, we don't even know where any dog parks are! Pudge just requests that there be some shade, he's a little chocolate bar. ;)
Yoda wants to join also and this will be his first time too. Has anyone tried the Sugar Land dog park? Is this a good park? I think a dog park with a lot of shades would be great for everyone's corgis.
I can't wait to meet all the new corgis and their peeps. I have never been to the Sugarland Memorial Park but it looks nice. It sounds like there is a nice pond too but it might be in the big dog area. I took Daisy to the Independence Dog Park in Pearland and there were no dogs in the little dog section so I threw her in with the big fellas. :) (I didn't really throw her.) There were some BIG dogs too! She actually did pretty well and didn't bark as much. Maybe she was afraid to tell off the big dogs! Anyway, Sugarland is fine with me. If anyone has been there let us know how it is.
The dog park on Bay Area Blvd. in Pasadena may be what we want. The Houston Area Dog park site says it has "lots of shade" I have been to that park years ago before they put in a dog park and it does have lots of trees.
We just got back from the Bay Area dog park and it has tons of trees for shade. We also met two corgis there and encouraged their owners to join MyCorgi.com so they could meet up with us in 2 weeks. There was no pond but all the nice shade will make up for it. I also read on a local dog site that there are some nearby eateries that are dog friendly if you eat on the patio. Here is the link: http://www.bark9.com/?Eateries If you go to one I would definitely call first. I vote for Bay Area too!
I have been so busy and I had a last minute trip the Rio Grande Valley the weekend we had planned last time. I have not seen the bay area dog park, but I will vote for any place that has a pond for the small dogs. a water hole for the corgs in this heat is a must, time 9:00 for me, and date of the 25th is also great. Another note, I will be taking my two crogs to the dog park off westpark and 610/59 area this Saturday from 9 - until they get tired. Looking forward to the 25th.
