Can I help in any way? I am planning on arriving early to catch a spot in the shade this way if I need to put Rocky back in the car for some reason at least the car will be cool and I think I may bring the car that the back window flips up but gate is closed this way no other dogs can see him as they pass. I also would not want to park where I can see the car as I don't want to loose my dog. Although I am hopeful all will be under control so I can keep him with me at all times. Rocky is a good boy and I'm not worried about him at all. ME can you use help at your table it be cool to hang out with someone I know who knows like everyone else? This reminds me I wanted to order Rocky a new CGC tag in time to show it off at this event and I forgot. The plastic one broke and and the metal one is worn oh well. Any ideas on what I can do to show off my most excellent shelter boy?

There are picnic tables under shade right near where we are setting up, but the lot is hit or miss (mostly miss) as far as shade goes, so I wouldn't plan on being able to leave Rocky in the car. It's going to be about 80 degrees and , so probably not a good idea. You can def hang out with the RPB gang - Maryellen will be next to RPB and the bake sale & raffle tables, as well as the Ask the Trainer booth. So our little corner of the park will be hoppin'! ;D

Ok thanks I knew mentioning leaving him in the car would get me a safer spot. No way I would do it unless there was extreme shade and like I said be able to see the car. I much rather hang out by mayellen or you guys. Rocky is not a crate veteran in public. But I will be bringing it anyway. I still will hope get there early and will be happy to help. I like the ask a trainer idea. Actually when I first got Rocky you helped me big time with one of his issues when he was a pup. I found a link to you from the bulldog info website. So yeah I would love to hang out with the RPB's

yes carolann, i always could use help... i am bringing rufus's crate to, but just to let you know rufus is not tolerable of other dogs anymore, so we will have to keep rocky and rufus separate at all times so that rufus leaves him alone... i am hoping to be there by 10, as i am leavng my house at 9 and praying for no parkway traffic lol. i wouldnt leave rocky in the car either as its going to be hot out.. oh yeah carolann bring a chair for yourself to sit in too.. i have a water bowl that rocky and rufus can use for water, so you dont need to bring one..

I would love to help out. And I would not be letting Rocky go near Rufus or any other dogs I friggen hate when people do that. However Rocky will do best relaxing at my feet but i guess we will have to Crate/rotate LOL. Im not sure if he will do well in crate out in public he probably put on a big fuss would not look good. So I will just sit away from Rufus. BTW I will not be bringing home a dog tomorrow or any time in the near future. Not to worry about that.

he doesnt have to be in his crate, so dont worry about that, we just have to make sure rufus and rocky dont mingle.. rufus will behave as long as no dogs enter his space, and he crates fine so if he gets antsy i can always crate him..

Oh good glad I wont have to crate him. He was real good in the home crate but honestly being a one dog home I have not used it in a long time. Rocky probably wont be interested in a mingle. Especially since I know Rufus is well trained to ignore distant dogs. If Rocky gets antsy which he probably will start wining as soon as I sit to relax, its time for a walk or time to go home. Maybe I should go start getting things together. Like some good treats shoot I should have thought about that already.
