National

[Briggsbay]

Is anyone organizing a get-together at the
National? I mainly just lurk, but would enjoy putting faces with names.

Briggsbay,
Welcome to the Forum

Good to see that you finally decided to post. All you other lurkers out there--we don't bite so post and let us get to know you.

I am planning to attend the Nationals and I would love to have a get together for all of us on the list. I had posted something before and didn't get any responses at all. If we cannot set up a meeting date maybe everyone on the list could wear an object of some sort or a certain color shirt on a certain day so we could recognize each other. Let me know what you think.

How many are planning to attend?????? Please post a yes or no with a reply to this topic. I will keep track and get a list of who is going.

Hope to see everyone there
Jeannie

I am so jealous. I want to go. If you guys do get together, get a group shot so we can all see

Are any of you bringing the newfies along? Anyone competing?

 

[Jeannie]

Sorry to hear that so many cannot attend the nationals.

YES we are taking our girls and competeing as well.

Both girls are doing the Speciality carting exercise as well as the rescue parade. We are also in the Decorated Cart contest. Sam will show in Novice A to get hopefully her third leg and AKC CD title. Gary is going to show Sara in Veterens Obedience even though she has never shown before. He just wants to have fun with her. Sara is so cute when she is heeling. Everytime Gary stops Sara will sit--as she is suppose to, however, she lays her head against his leg and looks up at him.

It is too CUTE!!! He won't win, but he will probably get a lot of Ohhs and Ahhs from Sara's performance.

We just plan to have FUN. Win or not. We will take lots of photos and post them

I am going, but not taking any dogs. Two
puppies from my last litter will be there -
Denise Castonguay was the co-breeder and she
owns two of the puppies and she is taking them to the National. The female went Best
Puppy in Show last weekend, and the male has
gone Best Puppy in Specialty Show. I am kind
of proud of them, in case you can't tell, vbg.

No, sadly I won't be going. I had planned on going and visiting a friend in Mich; however a work event came up and I have to be in Boise ID all week so can't afford to be in Michigan for the weekend also. I hope all our newfie friends and owners do well. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing the results.

hello everyone, I just joined up today but doubt if I'll have that much time to actuallly post anything, just thought I would let everyone know that I'm here!

yes I will be going to the Nationals. it is always very very difficult to find a time to meet at the nationals, one year everyone wore a little tag that stated that they were members of newf-l or whatever....

[Theresa]

Good luck to all that's going and competing. I know you will all have fun. For now, I can only dream of being around that many newfies at one time.

Sorry can not make it this year. Was at the Nationals in Rhode Island and had a great time. Hope you all enjoy it this year!

Well, so far it looks as if only 4 of us on here are attending the nationals. Attendees would be
me--Jeannie

What hotel is everyone staying in. The host hotel or the Drury. I know that Annie and I are staying at the Drury. With only 4 we should be able to get together someway

Hi,

I am staying at the Bavarian Inn. If I am
reading my reservation correctly, I am in
room 303.

If this is double posted, forgive me!!! Last year at National, several people from Newf-L tried to get together. Whether or not that happened, I'll never know... schedules are tight, there's something going on all the time!

It would be nice to meet everyone. As Jeannie mentioned, Russell & I will be staying at the Drury. We could leave messages for each other on the message board in the Hospitality Suite, and figure it out there... after everyone's settled and "organized"!!!!!!

Hey GAD??? Are you going? Could we use the Newf Net Logo on our messages so that we can easily recognize them???
