That's the one I posted above is it good pirate? Greyhound people I know have raved about it. I've just sent them an email about details. They seem more dog friendly than places i've tried so far but need to find out whether they are allowed on the beds (site says they sleep inside but no mention of beds) and also the amount of seclusion. The site details suggests accomodation around a central communal area but maybe one of their cabins is further away. I'll post their response here when i get it. oops, work got in the way, didn't get to go this time and forgot to update! they did get back to me and it does sound like doggie heaven! they have no further restrictions, only rule is dogs must sleep inside which is perfect! apparently the properties aren't that secluded as i was expecting but the deluxe cabins are a bit further out and have more space around them. will have to give it a shot next chance we get :) Thanks all.

most excellent i thought this was a stab in the dark with little chance of success but am thrilled by so many responses so quickly :D ok, i guess now we need to get things happening.... hmm, where to start?? more invites: I'll keep an eye on this forum and hope more interest will turn up - getting all optimistic now - if you know other pap owners that are not on the forum but would be interested, please encourage them to register and post their interest - if nothing else, we'll end up with a nice collection of pap pictures - can never have too much of that! safety: Probably the most important thing when organizing something over the net is privacy and safety (please disregard perceptions of paranoia, my work involves keeping information safe on the net and that teaches you that you're never paranoid enough!). To that end: - Forums are a bit too public for real names, meeting locations etc. will contact you guys via pm soon - Would also value your input into how we can organize this in a way that feels safe and comfortable for all involved thank you all for making my day

I think other papillon owners could relate; we love our little balls of energy, like to socialize them and give them opportunities to exercise their intelligence. But, it is worrying when getting them out, most other dogs you encounter are about 100 times their size and an accidental bad step while playing can potentially see our little mate broken So, the idea of a playgroup for papillons came to me Had a bit of a look around but couldn't find one, the only groups/organizations i could find are based on breeding or training which are not our ideas of fun. Things I'm hoping to achieve with this thread: - If someone knows of such a group, please let me know, joining an already established group would be the most convenient. - Failing that, I'd love to start one. Let me know if the idea is appealing to you and we can chat about it till we're comfortable that neither of us are scammers and would enjoy the company while the kids are playing Thoughts: - I live in N/NE melbourne suburbs so would be looking for owners/groups in that general area. - Not a breed snob so cross breeds or other intelligent dogs around the same size are fine. I would however love to find another papillion for my little one to play with. My baby, Mad Manix: Lets see how this works out
