Kzoo set up??

Does anyone know if we will be able to park close to the dock (like at the UAG last year) so we could work out of the car?
Chris can't come so I am only bringing one dog and would like to not have to set up the Easy-up.

Jim, Jim, Jim, you silly man...... Flip2

many of us travel by ourself to events with dogs and have to set up by ourselves.....the great thing is that you can ask other people for help (with your tent) - better yet - if you are stuborn enough you can put up your tent by yourself - trust me I have done it at many a shows - it can be done......just be carefull not to pinch your fingers. homer

Park your car in any spot
Leave the dog in the car
Take the tent out of the car and set it up by the rest of the 'family'
Get the kennel and chairs out - set them up under the tent
Get the rest of your 'stuff' set up
Get the dog - poop and pee him/her
Put the dog in the kennel
Go the desk to check in
Sit down and relax or visit with friends.
Come on Jim - you can do it - flip1

Well when I went to pick Skippy up on Saturday he almost didn't come home with me. A really nice family wanted him and it would have worked well except they had cats. Skippy thinks cats are only good for lunch. drool

.. I am taking him to agility tonight so you never know !!

Jim,
SKY and I will be there so if you need any help let me know! I will most likely be by myself to, something about my sister having prom that weekend and my dad wanting to be home for that so, just tell me if you need help.

Thanks everyone for all the great advice Cyclops

I will take it under advisement, consult my lawyer, doctor, financial advisor, and best friend Cyclops

before I make a decision

actually it isn't setting it up, I just didn't want to bring it if I didn't need it with just one dog. If we can park close she can just stay in the crate in the car.

BUT I feel a need to keep up with the Jones and bring it, just so I can feel included, welcome, and one of the gang luv

OH and also I will be taking note of those of you who say you are bring yours, so if you show up and don't have one, then ask if you can share mine Na Na

I am so paranoid people will take me seriously - but with a face like mine........

Hey ya'll have seen me with three dogs, one of them my insane Weim who won't potty on the leash, all by myself at plenty of events! Scream!!!

And people ask why I don't like to bring her that often....... Oops!

OH

I assume this didn't escape your attention huh

- this is a one day event that will last about 6 hours -
so with 15 min set up and 15 to put it away the event is only about 12 times longer that the Easy-up effort Just clownin' around
