Illinois Corgi Picnic

Sunday, September 11, 2011

Noon to 5pm

Friends Forever Dog Park, Freeport, Illinois

Potluck Lunch

 

Welcome Corgi Lovers!

 

Everyone is invited to join us for an afternoon of Corgi fun!

We will be meeting Sunday, September 11 at Friends Forever Dog Park in Freeport, Illinois.  This 10-acre park includes an agility course, an area just for smaller dogs, and a huge pond. The park is fenced so your dog can run, play, socialize off leash and go for a swim! This park was chosen by Pet Fancy Magazine as one of the top dog parks in the country! 

Check it out!   http://members.petfinder.org/~IL124/dogpark/index.html

 

There will be a potluck lunch.  Plan to bring something to share with the group.  I hope there are some good cooks out there!  Otherwise, pick up some potato salad, brownies, or picnic food from your favorite grocery.  Also, bring your own drinks and table service (plate, silverware, napkin, etc.).  Other items you might want to bring are lawn chairs, coolers, sunscreen, dog towels, etc..  Whatever you do, don’t forget the Corgis!

 

To enter the dog park each participant must show a current rabies tag and proof of current vaccinations for each dog.  DHLP is required.  Bordetella is recommended, but not required. There is a $5 fee per dog for a one day pass.  Daily passes are available at the information booth or in the shelter office the day of the picnic.  No puppies under the age of 4 months are allowed in the dog park.  There is a maximum of 2 dogs per adult.  To read more information about the Friends Forever Dog Park rules or to download the form for admittance prior to your visit, go to the following link. http://friendsforeverhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/dog-park-con...

 

The Friends Forever Dog Park is located at 966 Rudy Road just south of Freeport, Illinois. Watch for the signs on Highway Route 26.  The Friends Forever Humane Society is a shelter for homeless animals which is also on the premises. Please bring an item to donate to their shelter.  A list of suggestions from the shelter is at the following link.  http://friendsforeverhs.org/donate_p/donate-goods/

I have started a write up.  I am waiting for another response from Friends Forever Dog Park.

I asked them if we are allowed to bring EZ-Ups. 

I also asked them if they could set up a place where we could collect donations near the picnic in a wagon or wheel barrow.  I think it would be nice to see the items grow and then present them as a group.

We are a maybe to probably not. It is rather far for us to go and we have agility class on Sunday evening. But we won't totally rule it out. If we can make it we will. :)
thank you for taking charge of this.

we will be able to make it! =D

 

2 people, 1 fur child (our 2nd fur child is to young to go)

How old is your baby?

Freeport allows pups at 4 months. 

we are getting our 2nd corgi the weekend before. she will only be about 6 or 7 weeks old

Are you SURE she will be that young when you take her home?

Most people agree that puppies should be at least 8 weeks old before they go home.  You might want to check on those dates.  The breeder Iof my 2 Corgis will not let a puppy go home before 10 weeks. She told me that is what the PWCCA (Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America) has in their Code of Ethics. 

I just looked it up and it is on this web page...  http://www.pwcca.org/code_ethics.html 

Look at # 8 under Breeders and Owners of Bitches and Stud Dogs, Alike, Should:

Yes she will be that young. We are getting her the weekend before. I know some breeders do not let then go home that early but she does. Carter was the same age when we got him from her.
we live outside of freeport 10 mins from the park we can make it anytime or day

Super.  I want to see Caden!

 

I think you told me that you had a mountain biking event Sept 11th in the morning with your boy in Wisconsin.  But it is close to your home and you can come to the picnic as soon as the event is over.

 

Looking forward to seeing your whole family.

yeah the mtn biking thing is about 1.5 hrs away from the house.  Lol we want to see

Will too my wife plans to take alot of pictures of the two of them together

 

Your wife and I think alike!

I am looking forward to some family portraits of our 2 boys!
