Doggy play day for dogs, owners, and friends

This Saturday a couple of TT dog owners will be taking their dogs to the Olympia Park so the dogs can hang out together, and the owners can chat about dogs, among other things. We will meet at the Olympia Alm at 13:00. The Olympia Alm is a dog-friendly small beer garden on that green hill in Olympia Park. You may also join us even if you don't have a dog, provided you don't mind an awful lot of doggy talk and romping.

Any interest?

I don't have a dog, But I would LOVE to come wrestle around with them and throw balls or whatever! I really miss having the little buggers around, and the germans are slightly touchy about people messing with their well-trained Pooches!

At least five people are going to be there, looking forward to seeing you all!

Say hi to Prinz the Big White at the beergarden.

Great idea, but we will be cheering (barking?) on the GAA at the Irish football event - would love to come along if you do it again though! Have fun!

Ahh, I would have loved to come too (no doggy though) maybe next time...on a Sun would be great as I have school on Saturdays

We had a nice 3 dog, 4 person get-together. We´ll try to do this on a regular basis and will post again the next time---and I´ve learned my lesson to maybe schedule it a bit later...

Dear Dog Owners and Dog Friends,

The next Doggy Play Day is planned for Saturday, July 7, 2007 at 2 p.m.

Again at Olympia Alm.

Remember, everyone is welcome to come and hang out in the park and drink something with us. The only prerequisite is at least tolerating dogs and conversations about them.

Hope to see you there!

i definately wish Bren and I were still in Munich, i'd love to be there!
the poor guys is getting old (today is his 3rd bday) and will be lonely after today after 2 weeks spent with other dogs while i've been dog sitting, he would've loved this!
If you do this in October i'll be there (with or without dog)

I just wanted to note that we will be meeting regardless of the weather -- Olympia Alm does have big umbrella-y things over its tables.

Great, I'll be there, but not sure whether with or without dog. Gotta meet Tobi!

Just a warning: Tobi is not the little fuzzball he used to be. See you all there in about an hour!

Well, he's still dangerously cute, no doubt of that! Thanks Ruthie for setting up the meet yesterday - great to meet lovely Levi, the famous Cookie and superstar Tobi of course, and oh yes, there were some people there too, weren't there? Actually got that black and white power surge of mine thoroughly tired for the evening. Looking forward to the next one!

The next Doggy Day is this Saturday, 21st July, at 14:00 (2 p.m.) once again at the Olympia Alm.

Hope to see you there!

So far Crusoe has reported she will come, sans canine companion. If you´re not up to anything else, swing on by the Olympia Alm and have a beer/Spezi with us!

HI,

Great idea... If you guys come to Schwabing visit us at the Raubtiersalon, the Schwabinger
Dog Boutique and Grooming Salon. A little stop before the Englischer Garden cant hurt and
we do have a treat for your dog.. Just let us know that you are TT's

Your Raubtiersalon Team,
http://www.raubtiersalon.de/

Raubtiersalon...whatever.

We had a lovely doggy day with lots of chatting and romping and beer. We had one dog in person (in canine?) and two in spirit, one of whom is yet to be found.

Next time, if the weather is good, we plan on going someplace where doggies can swim.

Ta!

We def had a lovely time, thanks to both of you and particularly Tobi for a great aftzernoon out. And fter all we did get to play fetch with the kid and the retriever at the end Will send you the promised links right away too

Yes, that was a great afternoon all right. Poor Tobi was so tired afterwards he had to be carried away from the beer garden (I know some people who are sometimes like that too)!

so, I think that is his thing, he does that at the Hash too! Sneaky bugger he is isn't he?

don't give in. it's a ploy. oh poor baby i'm tired must carry me... naw. make him walk! (i'm a meanie)

Anyone up for meeting this Saturday (Aug 4th)? Same time, same place??

YES, let´s meet tomorrow at 2 p.m. at the Olympia Alm. Maybe we could discuss some alternate venues? Crusoe did some research and found a lake where we could take the dogs swimming on a hot day, but I guess tomorrow won´t be so hot. I´ve also heard that northern English Garden is nice for dogs to run and play.

But for tomorrow, let´s stick with the same bat-time, same bat-channel.

See you there!

IN A BIND! Hi all, I thought I´d be feeling better today, but I am feeling worse. I am sick and I just don´t have the energy to get out for the doggy play day.

Is there anyone Tobi knows who might be willing to take him along? I get him out for short walks, but I think he could use a good romp in the park...

LATEST UPDATE: Doggy Play Day is cancelled today

Hope crusoe did a good job with tobi!
I told her to be nice.

Tobi came back happy and relaxed to a happy and relaxed Mommy. Thanks to crusoe for the dog-sitting and dog-owner spoiling!

Revival of Doggy Play Dates! I know the weather isn't good, but that's no reason not to get outside with our canine friends and friends of canines. The format will of course be slightly different in cold weather, as it wouldn't be too pleasant to sit on grass and drink beer at the moment. But how about getting together to go for a walk somewhere? I've heard near the Aumeister is good. We could meander in the frosty meadows and then head inside for a hot chocolate or a tea.

Timing: weekends alternating with those of hashes (see Hash House Harriers), traditionally on Saturdays, but this is up for debate (since my dog has now graduated from the Sunday afternoon puppy school), early afternoon.

If there is enough interest at such short notice for this weekend, let's do it, otherwise, we are on FOR SURE for the 19th/20th of January.

Finn would love to come and play!

Weekend of the 19th/20th would be great! Will try and borrow a dog for the occasion. (Lease-a-Lab? Rent-a-Retriever? Hire-a-Hovawart?)

Borrow-a-Border?

If you ever made the rendez-vous somewhere to the east of Munich I'd gladly join you too. Sunday's are slightly better for me, but a Saturday would also work.

In reply to a PM, just so everyone knows, bringing a dog is not a requirement. You just have to LIKE them.

Weather report says this Sunday there will be ice rain, so IF we do it this weekend, it would be on Saturday.

Still on for sure for the 19/20th.

Matt, if you suggest a place in the east close to public transportation, we might just wander that way some time.

Definitely interested and especially since it is near the AWWW-Meister! What time?

A Sunday in the east and I might come along too. Sounds like a good way to get ready for a Sunday chillout.

No meet-up this weekend, all the more anticipation for the 19th/20th!

I need the excercise, so does the mutt, Im up for it as well.

Regards

MG

I would be interested to sneak in too.

Great to see so many interested people! The next Munich Doggy Play Day will be on Sunday, January 20 at 14:00 (2 p.m.) We will meet at Aumeister, go for a stroll, and then head inside when our toes or our dogs give out, whichever goes first. Exact address and directions to follow.

i will be there, though perhaps a bit late since the Finn-ster will be with my grandma for the weekend and I will need to pick him up to bring him to the play date (obviously).

Looking forward to seeing you all at 14:00 at Aumeister!

Awoooooo. No walkies for me today, laid low with a foul cold and barking cough - yes, barking - if I came down you'd be throwing sticks for me to fetch. Have fun. Post pics later? Pleeease?

Looks like a great day for the old girl to get out and smell some butts. Might even bring the dog along as well . . . .

Sorry to hear you're sick, crusoe! Take care of yourself.

Thanks! Self-medication (pints of hot toddy) is the answer. It's great weather for you - have fun!

Im in please, plus the she who should be obeyed and lad and of course the mutt, will be walking up from Studentenstadt through the Englisch Garten.

There's the difference between Brits and Americans right there. In our house, it is "she who must be obeyed".

We missed crusoe (and hope the hot toddy helps), but otherwise we were a motley, cheerful crew. Good stick-throwing, good conversation, and a a little bit o´ beer/coffee/punch. We dog friends, in our infinite wisdom, had foreseen two weeks ago how fantastic the weather today would be. Hope the same folks come along next time, and newcomers are encouraged to join!

Hello, when will you be getting together again? I have a little dog who could really use some socializing (and so could her mistress, ha!). My little gal is a rescue and a bit nervous around other dogs, but I'm certain it's just a matter of getting some confidence with some friendly dogs.

Hi there, our next meeting is this Sunday at 2 p.m. Are there any fantastic suggestions for a venue? If not, I shall selfishly choose a spot close to my place.

In response to a helpful suggestion after our last time - yes, we will be doing some walking and not just standing around in a field throwing sticks this time.

All and Sundry welcome!

Since we had two votes for the East last month, and I live in the East too, can we make it Ostpark?
