Roseville, Rocklin, Auburn Club

[Lucysmydog]

At our dog park we have little kiddie pools that we are able to empty and clean out. She had been going into those three months before the pond and after and nothing has happened to her except that one time after she went there. That was one of the things the vet had asked me if she had been in was a pond or a creek. She didn't swim very well since it was her first time and she might have swallowed a lot of water. Her head went under a couple of times, so she might have gotten more of the dirty water in her. But she's been fine in the little pools and that's the only water she's around. Are there any places around Folsom Lake that I can take her to get her used to swimming? Thanks

There are some of you that I don't have email address's for and this is the latest email I sent out regarding our future club. Just wanted to keep everyone up to date. Please email me with your email address if I don't have it. See you all in Sacramento!!

Hi SplashDog Group Members of the still unformed Rocklin, Roseville, Auburn and surrounding areas !
I am sorry we still have not formally set anything up yet, but now that I have the email thing going maybe we can get started.
I wanted to make sure you all knew about SplashDogs being in the Sacramento area on the weekend of Jan. 18-21 at the Sportsman's Expo at Cal Expo. Of course if you've been checking the web page you know all about it !!!! www.splashdogs.com there is also a link to the Sportsman's Expo on the site as well.
I know my dog Millie is signed up for a couple of waves. She hasn't done any jumping since the summer so I don't know how she'll do ~~~~~~ I know that last year it was a little chilly there, unlike what we've had at the Auburn events, so dress appropriately and prepare your dogs for the same. If you are going to participate you will receive two entrance passes for the expo but you will have to pay for parking. I'd advise you to register online now if you haven't already. If you are coming to watch (and you can bring your dog) you will have to pay the entrance fee to the expo and parking.
The next step for our club is going to be a questionnaire that I'll email to all of you about what you want out of the club. What days are good to meet, where do you want meet, what are some suggested names for the club, etc.
If anyone is in the Rocklin, Roseville area I practice with Millie at a great park by my house on Wildcat and West Stanford Ranch Rd. Obviously I can't practice the jumping into the pool part with her there, but I can practice the dock wait and stay and the throw. It also has a great wildlife preserve area that I can let her off leash. She loves it. Email if you ever want to get together or my cell is 916-622-4758.
Hope to see you all at Cal Expo,
Fiona

Hi Millies Mom.... Great to meet you at this past weekends event. Chelsey and I would love to get more involved locally and learn more about how to get Dusty to fly! We're complete newbies, but we'd be more than happy to help with any events held locally - formal or informal.....

Hi Eric,
Welcome aboard!!! Glad to have you with us!!! If you could just send me your email to fibraces@hotmail.com I will be sure to include you when I send out our next update. My Millie is still recovering from her "Cold tail" or "Limp tail" from Sat. but she can't wait to get back to jumping!!!!!

Greetings Auburn folks,

We're visiting up your way on Friday April 6th and Saturday April 7th. We met some of you at the San Mateo event in January.

We would like to know where to go to practice & see if any of you will be coming out. It would be great to connect!

We also plan on coming up for the June & September Splash Dogs events.

cheers,
Louise
& Naika

Hi Louise:
Jim takes the dogs to a pond at Railhead Park. He goes really early as on the weekends they have soccer games there so you can not take the dogs. It is located off of Pacific Ave. here in Auburn.

Hey Sandra, great to see you for a moment at Stockton this weekend!

For Auburn it sounds like we could go down to the site on Friday during the day when it warms up a bit. On Saturday we should just sleep in, let the kids play soccer, take Naika for a hike and then visit Carpe Vino for dinner and wine!

Hey, if you're ever down this way, we have a nice dock to practice on in Redwood Shores. We're even raising money for a big megaphone for Ursula so that she can keep us crazy BADD team members in shape while safely* ensconced in her wheelchair on shore!

cheers,
Louise

Any new details about starting a club? I finally got Lucy into a pool similar to the one that splash dogs use. I have an awesome picture of her jumping in. Hopefully she will jump when they come to Auburn again

[MickeyD'sMom]

Have you signed up for our Auburn jump on June 1-3rd? Hope to see you there.

Is Tiffany still out there? I spoke to her quite awhile ago and she was very enthusiastic about joining the club. I was hoping to actually pass the torch to her as to getting the club up and going. My summer was swamped, my lab Millie is expecting pups on Sept. 19 (yeah!!!) so I doubt I will get anything going. Sorry guys!!! I have all the contact info if anyone wants to take the lead, and Tiffany if your still out there email or call me!!!
