    alright- then let me know when you can. i commented in the forum- its easier to convo in there!
  • Alice

    We should be able to go on the 28th if it's after 5pm. That's when we get off work.

    Sorry I've been quiet. I've just been really busy with work and getting ready for our wedding which is next month, not to mention raising a puppy. Too much happening at once! :)
  • Abbea and Vivi

    Bad news guys. I can't go on the 28th. My husband and I need to go to my parents' house in Cottonwood that weekend to take care of their dogs while they're out of town. :(:(:(:(
  • astro, starla, joleene & jason

    how about the 20th or the 27th?
  • Abbea and Vivi

    Well, the 27th wouldn't work because that's when I leave to go to my parents' house. The 20th.. Maybe that would work. I'll have to see if I'm working that day.
  • astro, starla, joleene & jason

    im good on the 20th still-- let me know and we can plan for it when you know the schedule. alice on board?
  • Alice

    I know we have something going on that night but we could probably make it earlier in the afternoon. What time were you thinking?
  • astro, starla, joleene & jason

    i work till 6 on the 20th. we can do the scottsdale one that night if we are shor on time....
  • Abbea and Vivi

    I'm actually good any day as long as I'm not working, in class, or out of town.. I'll let you guys decide and if I can come then cool, but if not, that's ok too.
  • Alice

    I think that would be too late since we have an event to go to that night. What about Saturday the 21st sometime after 5pm?
  • astro, starla, joleene & jason

    i was thinking before that the 21st would not work because my husband is going to the drag races. he said he should be home early enough to meet with us. so- saturday the 21st at 7 at the scottsdale location? good?
  • Abbea and Vivi

    Hey, I think I could make it to that day and time. I'm not working on the 21st. I'll have to ask my husband and see if he wants to go too. 7 seems a little late, but I think it'll be ok. Since my husband and I need to wake up at 5:20 am on Monday we wouldn't be able to stay that long.
  • Kristi Reckard

    I will do whatever just let me know when and where.
  • Alice

    We should be be able to make it too unless something changes. Like I said, anytime after 5pm, so if 7pm works for everyone else, we're in. We wouldn't stay too terribly long either. Finn, still being a puppy, tires out after an hour or so. We'll just see how it goes. :)
  • astro, starla, joleene & jason

    alrighty. so- 7 pm, or a little earlier, at the chaparral scottsdale dog park on this saturday the 21st. golden!
  • Jennifer

    Would it be ok if I brought my little one along? She has only had her first round of shots so I wouldn't be able to let her romp, but I would love to meet everyone!
  • Abbea and Vivi

    It's up to you whether you want to bring her or not. I wouldn't let her on the ground as it could be contaminated with something she's not resistant to yet.
  • Abbea and Vivi

    Oh shoot for some reason I thought the 21st was Sunday. I do have to work until 5:30 that day, but I think I can still make it. And that resolves the problem of staying up late. My husband and I have Sunday off. :)
  • Alice

    So far we are still on but we have to schedule a make up class for Finn's puppy training because we couldn't make it yesterday (went to the Cavalia show) so I'm waiting to hear from the trainer to see when we can do the make up this week. I'm hoping she will have some time other than Saturday available but I'll have to wait and see. She's supposed to call me this afternoon so I'll let you guys know.

    Jennifer,
    You could bring your puppy but as Abbea said, you should not let her walk around because she could pick up Parvo or something else. It's ok for her to come in contact with dogs who are up to date on their shots (as I'm sure all of our dogs are) but there's no guarantee that every dog that frequents the park has been vaccinated. Better safe than sorry.
  • astro, starla, joleene & jason

    yay! im so excited everyone is going to make it.
    there is a passive side which on saturday nights is a ghost town and there is a "big dog" side. myself and my 2 monsters will be over in the passive side waiting for everyone. see you all then!
  • Alice

    Welcome to the group, Dale and Patty!

    So guys, we're definitely on for Saturday. We made Finnigan's make up class for Sunday night. Yay!
  • Alice

    I'm sorry you and Frannie can't make it. Finn will be the only Cardi there. :(
    Don't worry, we'll plan another one soon and you guys will have to come.
  • Caesar & Molly

    21st is no good. I am Brazilian and this weekend is Carnival. So Caesar will be home as his mommy parties on at a Brazilian festival. Next time then... sorry guys! 28 is still good for me if you want to try again
  • Kristi Reckard

    5401 N. Hayden Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85250
  • Kristi Reckard

    What a delight to meet all of you. Thank You for the meet up. The corgis are so cute and full of energy. Abby, can't wait for you to get yours:)) Look forward to another one already:)
    Have a great day,
    Kristi and Grace
  • astro, starla, joleene & jason

    same here!ilvoe play dates! im so glad the 4 of them got along so well!
    we should start talking about the march meet up. that was it is on the calendar and we will be all set. we can talk location later- thats up to you guys since we did scotsdale last night. we are good the 7th & the 14th and any sunday of march. oh- and i was told there is a corgi meet up that is going to be on the second sunday- just not sure when. we can consider that ours or we can venture to another park ??? ill find out more about the other one. im pretty sure it is out in the avenues.
  • Abbea and Vivi

    Yep it was really nice to meet you and your adorable puppy dogs.

    Wait.. There is another Arizona corgi meetup somewhere? I want to go!
  • Alice

    We had a lot of fun too. It's great for Finn to meet more dogs and we always love meeting new people as well.

    I want to know more about this "other" Corgi meet up too. Do you think they'd care if we crash their meet up.? :)

    As for March, that's going to be a tough month for us because we're getting married on the 14th then going on our honeymoon. The 8th-19th are out for us, but we could go on Saturday the 21st (that would be the best day) or we could do Sunday the 22nd.

    Do any of you have pictures from the meet up? I really wish I had remembered my camera.
  • astro, starla, joleene & jason

    there is a corgi rescue group that does a meet up every second sunday. they had cancelled the feb one because of the rain. i promise to post it when i hear about a march one.

    im good for the 21st or the 22nd.

    congrats alice!
  • Alice

    Thanks!

    Is everyone else available on one of those days? Any suggestions on the location?
  • Kristi Reckard

    Sundays are terrific for us. Saturdays are harder for us. we have a small dog park near our house in Gilbert on Greenfield and ray right by Polar ice. However if we can't get the east side corgis to meet up then I think its only far to venture to Glendale for those who are willing to show up. No reason to make all of you travel. I will chat with some of the others and would like to know your feelings on the Gilbert idea. Let me know your thoughts:)
  • Juneaux and Maximus

    Hey Arizona Corgis! We're not FROM Arizona, but we LOVE the state:) Can't wait to visit again!!
  • Abbea and Vivi

    Wow, I can't believe there are already 23 members! Imagine if everyone attended the meet up. It would be a Corgi paradise! :D
  • Abbea and Vivi

    Take your corgi to work? Just kidding! If you can't make it, maybe next time will work out. Either way, I can't wait to meet you and your corgi!
  • Miyuki

    Anyone for a meeting in Tucson sometime?
  • Abbea and Vivi

    Tucson is about a 2-3 hour drive from me so... maybe we could meet somewhere in between?
  • Kristi Reckard

    Im totally up for cosmos park, I also live east side. that would be awesome!!!
  • Abbea and Vivi

    The Cosmo dog park looks really nice. I hope I'll be able to make it that day too.
  • Abbea and Vivi

    To clarify, we are meeting at 4:30 right? The first page of the meet up discussion still says 6:00 under the update but we all seemed to agree to meet around 4:30 later in the discussion.
  • astro, starla, joleene & jason

    4:30 it is. see you all there. i will try to change the first page....
  • Abbea and Vivi

    It's looking like I might show up late, or even might not be able to make it.. My husband wants to stay at the Renaissance Festival until it closes at around 6:00 pm. I told him though if we decide to leave early we will go straight to the corgi meetup and he agreed. Well, hopefully it will work out. Don't let this discourage any of you from attending.. I don't even have a corgi anyway!
  • Alice

    We just got back in town from our honeymoon and will definitely be at the meet up tomorrow at 4:30pm. See you there!
  • Nash

    where is the meet up?
  • astro, starla, joleene & jason

    the meet up is at grovers basin dog park. basially cave creek & grovers ave on the west side.

    check out the link on this page AZ corgi meet up #2. there is more info there.
  • Alice

    Nash, you think you might come?
  • Alice

    Who all was at the last meet up and which dog was yours? It was a much bigger turnout than expected and hard to keep track of who had which dog especially with all the orange Pems. I know there were some people that aren't in the group as well which is great! Good job on the recruiting. :)
  • Alice

    Hey everyone, here are pictures from yesterday's meet up. I didn't get very many so I hope you all will post yours as well. We had a lot of fun and I know Finnigan did too. Can't wait to see you all at the next one!

  • Abbea and Vivi

    Wow, so many corgis this time! There were people with corgis that aren't even in this group there? Cool! I wish I could have gone...
