IAMs Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 This thread will be a home to the many regularly scheduled greyhound get-togethers that people have throughout the year. (Non-greys are accepted, too!) If you have a regular meeting time for your greys or a group of greys at a formal dog park, please post it here. You never know how many greys might show up! Regularly Scheduled Greyhound Get Togethers United States Minnesota City: Minneapolis Park: Lake Harriet, meet on the lake path near the Rose Gardens Park Location: From 35W, take 46th St. exit, go west on 46th to East Lake Harriet Parkway, then turn right (north). Park at or near 43rd St. The Rose Gardens will be on your right, the lake is on your left. / Google! map Days: Every Sunday at 2pm, weather permitting. Other Notes: No appointment necessary, just show up! This walk is just under 3 miles, but is NOT an aerobic exercise. The pace is pretty slow, good for chatting with other grey-owners. There is a nice spot to let your hound wade/lounge in the water on hot days. Texas City: Fort Worth Park: Fort Woof Dog Park (inside Gateway Park) Park Location: Beach Street just north of I-30 and just east of I-35 / Google! map Days: Saturday and Sunday, approximately 7:30am to 10:00am / Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm to 8:30pm Other Notes: There are usually between 5 and 15 greyhounds at the park on these mornings. The park has 6' fences, separate large and small dog areas, water and shade trees, and lots of room to run. Come on out and join the fun! Regularly Scheduled Greyhound Get Togethers Canada Ontario City: London Park: Springbank Park Park Location: Enter through Commissioners Road entrance (Storybook Gardens entrance) in Byron, drive straight in, park in the lot on the left... you'll probably see a bunch of us standing around / Google! map Days: Every second Saturday of the month at 2:30 pm plus sometimes we have extra walks in between. Other Notes: A greyt time to chat with other Greyhound owners, take a nice walk around Springbank and relax in the sun, or snow. We do this walk year round, unless bad weather hits, then we reschedule for the following weekend. * Gwen (07/2003-11/2009), * Maya (cancer , 06/2003-10/2013), *Ollie (cancer 07/2013 - 10/2018), *Azalea (cancer, 7/6/2015 - 5/20/2019), Ashe (cancer 04/2011 - 03/2020) *Aztec (sister of Inca, 12/1996-08/2011), *Inca (half-Siamese kitty ,12/1996 - 9/2016) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to bring Jock, but he is very sensitive about his mouth and nose; I know that a muzzle would make him miserable. Also, he has severe osteoarthritis (from a poorly set hind leg), as well as fear issues. He probably wouldn't run with the other greys. Even with his greyhound friends, his way of playing is to watch the others. However, he loves seeing other greyhounds. Would it be ok to come and sit on the sidelines? If not, do you know of any other greyhound events in the area, or other places we can meet greys and their people? (Our adoption group dissolved before we really got to know anyone.)
