Hi juniper & kcrespo! I feel the same exact way! I would be more than happy to meet up even if it is only a few chows! Anyone else in this area willing to meet up? Should we already start pre planning or am I getting ahead of myself? lol. I'm just so totally excited. Plus, I love to drive my car as much as possible (great gas milage) so I would be more than happy to travel either to Fallon or Sacramento. Or is there a place we could meet in Truckee since it's sort of half way? ~1.5 hrs from Sacramento, ~1.5 hrs(ish) from Fallon... Am I just getting a head of myself?? lol

Here are pictures of my chewy. He is lazy, but totally ready to meet other chows!

Ooooooooooo weeeeeeeee Chewy is a cutie! Uh, :oops: I mean a handsome chow boy! I'm game for sometime in May... Sheena my red chow is 9 years old now and she's still turning heads!

I don't know the Truckee area...except for the ticket I got from the highway patrol there while speeding on my way to Reno. :lol: So, all we need is a location and for me, I may decide to crash at a hotel overnight...I am not into driving so much in a day...(former cabbie tired of driving). No internet at home so I get on from work about 1x/week when I can.

Hmmmmmmm, Queen Sheena and two young chow boys...She will sit there totally ignoring them. :roll:

May sounds good for me too. I really don't know truckee either I just thought it may be easier to travel to for everyone and quite beautiful. I am open to whatever. I don't really know "good" places we could all meet to bring our chows. I'll try to do a little research and maybe we might do this in Reno instead. I kinda have a place in mind but I'll need to check it out again... Also, the only weekend that doesn't really work for me is the 22nd & 23rd since that is my boyfriends birthday weekend.

Truckee or some other woodsy place sounds OK to me...Sheena likes more quiet...she'd be way too hyper in Reno and so would I. Spend all my time in city life. Let's plan on Saturday, May 15th! Any other takers, ideas of where to meet? I'll do some searching of a nice doggie park somewhere.

Oh, just for info. Labor day week I always go camping w/Sheena to Grover Hot Springs, in Markleeville, CA, about 40 miles south of Lake Tahoe for about 4-5 days, we could do some chowfesting around that area as well in September again!

Me glutton for chowfests! :mrgreen:

Hey, just checked: Bijou Dog Park in South Lake Tahoe...seems like a really nice place:

I know this is considerably late but I guess better late than never!! Here are some pics from the Chow Fest we had in April. It was a lot of fun and the chows enjoyed themselves.
