We live between three meetup groups but are faraway from each one.

I have never been to the group, but the Gainesville, Florida meetup group is organizing a meetup/cookout/dachshund race for August 19th. I am really hoping that we can make it.

Is anyone in Florida interested in going?

Its not right around the corner from us but doable if we can plan for the whole day. (just have to check DH"s schedule).

And our favorite rescue has two dachsies now so maybe i will see if someone or us can bring them.

Chris, I just saw it in my e-mail and was considering it. I doubt I can convince my husband to go, so it would probably just be me and Cass. It's a pretty long way for us though, so I'm not sure :confused:

It might be worth it once the group really gets rolling and gets more organized. I have noticed with the meetups that when its 5-10 dachsies its more for the dachsie parents to socialize, which is great, but when they get serious dachsie action 20-40 weenies, then it becomes a real party for them.

I was hoping the meetups were in Ocala because its right off 75 for most people and it would only be 30-45 min for us. Its probably 1 hour, 30 minutes from us as is depending on how far into gainesville it is.

I am still waiting for the Orlando group to commit to the doggie swimming day at Ft Cooper park. that is way south for us but might be worth going.

I just found out that we might have 15 doxies to help adopt out so meetups might be good exposure to meet more families...but they are always days we cannot go AAUUUGHH!!
