GoldenGirl85 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Monique of course you guys can come!! everyone is welcome! Im going to make an official "watch this space" in regards to the location, it will either be Nudgee or Kroll (Redcliffe) it just depends on the state of the dog beach in a couple of weeks time. Im guessing Im one of the closest so Ill try and go there in person to check it out before hand and Ill try and post on here with a confirmed place by Friday 4/2/11, Ill even put it in the subheading so you dont even have to open the thread! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keira&Phoenix Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Awesome thanks GG! Sounds like me might have a few people this time . Cant believe how many of us are Loganers ;) awesome. Cant wait to meet everyone! Hopefully...the first 3 have been epic failures!! Yeah they have . Seems to be a few more people in the topic now though so hopefully this time it will all work out I wonder if we should post in the main forum area telling Brisbaners/Loganers/Sunny Coasters to come and have a look in these forums??? or do you think it would just get moved?

Jetty Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 ahh I work Sunday's now ;) Otherwise I would be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minxy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Won't be able to make this one unfortunately. Can't have Kyojin's stitches getting wet, and he probably wouldn't really enjoy being on-lead around lots of other dogs and not being able to play with them. Hopefully we'll have this much interest for the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keira&Phoenix Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) So I was just looking at this thread http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=213816 which is a Melbourne social thing they go to this boarding Kennel in Melbourne where they have dogs runs and a pool!!! (http://www.kepala.com.au/country.htm this is where they take them) How awesome is that. Means not having to worry about going to public parks and there is somewhere to take the dogs swimming. Sounds like they make a day of it, bringing food etc to share also. I think we should look into something like this in Brisbane, I am not sure if there would be any good boarding places around that have a pool and would allow us to use their facilities but I rekon it would be worth a try....what does everyone else think? I am happy to do the leg work ie: calling possible places and going out to talk to them if anyone is keen and have any possible places to look into? Sort of wishing I lived in Melbourne right now lol. This would be great to help socialise puppies too!

minxy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 That sounds great, K&P. I'd love to take Kyojin swimming, we haven't had the chance to do that yet. If they'd allow us, that would be a great place for all the dogs to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandybrush Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 thats a great idea kiera, i have thought of that too, but couldnt think of anywhere that fit the bill ;) feel free to do some digging and let us know what/where you find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuffles Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 My parents live near Nudgee Beach, dad said he went there last week and it was still looking a bit feral. He did say there were lots of dogs on the beach with their owners checking out the debris. And he also said that the Riverwalk has ended up there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keira&Phoenix Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) OKKKKKK So I have done a bit of research and there are a couple places that look sort of promising re: activity centre type thing like they do in Melbourne, but I will need to call and speak with them. A few are Southside and a few are Northside so thats good just depends on which ones might be keen. Will post a few sites a little bit later so everyone can have a look. I just had a quick question though some of these places may be more inclined to allow us to do it if we pay a small amount, so my question is what amount would you pay to do this (only once a month or something) $5/$10?? give me an idea so I know. I just thought its would be worth paying a small amount so that we actually have somewhere private away from public dog off leash areas to go Let me know. Second I have found another spot that might be good for our next meet its Sweeney Reserve in Strathpine/Lawnton area there I believe its partially fenced and has a lake/river thing for the dogs to swim in, might be good for our Feb meet if someone wants to check it out??? Here is a website with some piccies from it http://dogzrool.wetpaint.com/page/Sweeney+...Dog+Park?t=anon Also thought it might be close enough for the Sunny Coasters to attend, will post in their topic.

minxy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Those activity centre type areas sound great, K&P. I'd be willing to pay a small amount to go to one. Not keen on unfenced areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be happy to pay entry if we had the place to ourselves, by that I mean, most people wouldnt pay for a place to run their dogs when there are so many free places around, so Id hope anyone else there would have well behaved dogs and owners present That place at Lawnton is fairly close to me, I can check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad about Oscar Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hi! oscar and I would like to come too if we may, we are northsiders too. I saw someone mention Sweeney Reserve - went for a walk there last week and it has been completely 'renovated' by the flooding of the Pine River and was a complete mess. The fenced dog park was completely gone and most of the trees had been ripped out and carried away. There were dead fish on the bikeway but it was nothing compared to the devestation of Wiley Park - all gone! The idea of having it at a 'venue' sounds great - I would not mind paying ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keira&Phoenix Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ahhh bummer that Sweeney Reserve looked ok, oh well maybe down the track when it is back to its old self. Yeah I didn't think anyone would mind paying a few bucks for a venue because it means we have the place to ourselves and don't have to put up with people from the general public and their dogs (not that all of them are bad). None of the places I have found actually specifically cater to having people in so I will have to specifically talk to them about getting a group together there and see if they are ok with it but means definitely won't be other people around. Wish we had a place like that Kepela around that looks fantastic! Will let you know how I go when I get a chance to speak to the different places I shortlisted.
