pip1981

Wow! 8 doggies within 1.5hrs of posting topic! I'm so excited to see you all again... and yes! we want your friend's brownies again spitzbaby! lol Hi Kali- We always look forward to meeting newbies at Kepala! Can you tell us about Zac and Shishka? (love the names)

Feel free to copy and paste the below list, adding your dogs and what you'd like to bring! I think it's safe to assume from now on, that I'll bring the plates, cups, cutlery and condiments we need for the BBQ. If I'm ever not going to attend, I'll be sure to let some other regulars know to bring this stuff List of Dogs coming pip1981- Dakota & Tika List of food pip1981- marinated chicken, noodle salad, soft drink

Hi Guys! Couldn't resist again, so I've done the same as last month and started the thread 2 weeks out!! For newbies- our next Kepala meet is on Sunday the 14th of November! Further details can be found here- http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=98062 - or if you have any questions feel free to ask in here, and I'm sure a regular 'Kepala-ite' will be able to help. Also, for those that are interested- I believe SmoothieGirl will be accepting donations at this month's meet for Cosmolo's Christmas Wishing Tree (see here for more info- http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=206674). Yay! Can't wait!

Great news LM!!!!! Looking forward to the 14th!!! Sorry you can't make the December meet, Tassie, hopefully another time!

It's ok, you're a crazy dog person now, like us! :D I miss it already too! Love this shot! And the one of Bronte on her own, and Charz and Bronte by the pool, are great too!

It's going to be very difficult to choose the best 12 pics! I'm keen on the group shot idea, sounds like fun even if we don't end up with a calender-perfect pic...lol.

I love that welcoming committee shot groupfive, because it's just so typical of our days at Kepala, but I'd really rather my big bum was not in the calender.... puppy flashy is soooo cute

OMG! lol, as soon as CF mentioned the calender, I was thinking of this pic Evolving... YAY, I hope it makes it in!!!! For those that don't know this is a picture of Bindii's Fletcher, whispering sweet nothings into Dakota's ear, aaawwwwwww I'm frightened of choosing, there is already too many great pics! Are we only allowed to post our own pics, or can we link to others if we name the photographer?

Hey WA- after you mentioned watching a youtube video of it, I copied, as Tika has been doing something strange in the early hours of the morning too, and, sure enough, she's reversing sneezing as well! Very weird phenomenon, I'm still not sure if I should worry or not, but we're due for a vet visit soon anyway, so I'll ask about it then....

Great pics kirsten and LC! (kirsten, can I please steal the ones containing my girls?) Bugger! sounds good CF

Hey SG, just saw this. I wasn't planning on attending the DDO, but I'm happy to attend Kepala on a different Sunday if it suits the majority of Kepala-ites. We would just have to call Kepala soon, and make sure if fits in with them. BTW, we're looking forward to seeing you and Bronte girl in November, we miss you guys! :p Sharon- Dakota likes everyone, it's just a matter of whether other dogs wish to tolerate her craziness, lol. But, yes, it did seem that she and Saxon got along pretty well! keroppiyo- No, leave the harness on, I'll make sure Dakota's wearing hers too, and I'll buy a pink one for Tika as well... ILoveBoundaries- Dakota had a sensitive tummy until she was about 18 months- 2 years old, but she appears to have grown out of it now, and she burps less than she used to now too, hehe. Hopefully Kosmo will grow out of it too...and we look forward to seeing you all at another meet.

Hey Guys, With all the talk of Secret Santa in the threads, a couple of us were chatting yesterday about Secret Santa for the doggies who come to Kepala. We did it last year, and we were wondering if people would be keen again this year? Basically, you purchase 1 gift for every dog you have, and you will receive 1 gift each for your dog/s. We didn't draw names last year, it works like a lucky dip. We kept it to toys last year as there are some dogs with special dietary requirements, and we kept the spend limit to $10 per dog. We brought the wrapped presents to the December meet at Kepala and someone had the job (I believe it was LM's skin-kid, Maddie) of handing the pressies around to all the dogs. If people are keen, I'll bring it up again in the thread for December to remind us all!

Great pics everyone! keroppiyo- I think it's Dakota in the background of that pic waiting for me...lol...sitting up to straight to be Tiki...lol oh, and that pic of Buffy and Dakota wrestling is embarassing, they're so grubby! Sharon, I really enjoyed the little bit of one-on-one time with Sax, never got that when he was busy with the other Vallhunds at other meets, hehehe, he's such a charmer and a very well-adjusted little man. Looks like he enjoyed some one-on-one time with Dakota too (aka pretty girl, hehe)...

WOW! Evolving, you're pics are getting better every day!

Here's my average contribution... (the subjects aren't average though )

lol, np

Please don't apologise MM, I don't even have good pics to add, I was just impatient to see all of yours....lol. Oh, and yes evolving, I'm so surprised...

NO! don't delete...lol

woops, we both started one at the same time!

We were wondering where you got to....I hope Kosmo is feeling better soon, and I hope you can make it another time. Evolving- say hi to Echo for me and the girls...lol Just wanted to log on and say thanks everyone for another great day at Kepala! And what a beautiful day we got for it too!! It was lovely to meet some new faces, and see some not-so-regular people return! We hope you can make it again soon!! My girls are buggered, as am I.... I'll start a pics thread in the Photos section for those of you who have taken pics (i only have a couple of very average pics of my girls). I can't wait to see what you guys with all your cool cameras captured today!!

TODAY!!! hahahahahaha See you all there!

What a great idea! Good on you for organising it Cosmolo! Not sure if I can make it to your special day, but I will be sure to pass on some donations via SmoothieGirl, at our November Kepala meet, and I will show some flyers around at work t see if I can get some more stuff.

Hey SG- Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I'd love to bring some things along in November for you to pass on! Cheers
