ISSDC SE :: MAY 14 :: REGIONAL SPRING POTLUCK PICNIC!

IT'S SPRING PICNIC TIME AGAIN!

We’re planning a bit early, there is still snow on the ground but we are THINKING Spring! And we all know with Spring comes our annual ISSDC SE Regional Spring Potluck Picnic.


WHAT: The ISSDC SE Region is holding its Spring Potluck Picnic on Saturday May 14th, 2011. Spend a day with your Shilohs and your fellow ISSDC SE members outside romping — fun, games, food and friendship; what more could you ask for.

Be sure to bring along chairs for you, and whatever you may need for an afternoon out with your Shilohs including water from home if your Shiloh has a sensitive tummy.


WHEN:
May 14, 2011 – begins @ 10am
Rain or shine


WHERE:
The ISSDC SE Regional Spring picnic is again graciously being hosted by Gloria and Darrel Setterlund of Noble Acres Shiloh Shepherds at their home in Locust Grove, VA. Please contact Gloria Setterlund or Marti Nottingham for directions or if you have any questions on the location.


WHY:
Because it is a whole lot of fun! This is a great opportunity to meet other Shiloh Shepherd owners (and usually a lot of them), sit and relax and have fun with your dog. Your Shilohs are welcome and we encourage you to bring them, it’s great socialization for them too! The Setterlund’s property is perfect for dogs and we let them off leash as they get to run on her 12 fenced acres. Noble Acres is fenced private property but we remind you to be aware of your Shiloh at all times.

This picnic is one of our most anticipated events each year as we always have a great time.


HOW MUCH:
The picnic is pot luck so we ask you either bring a dish to share or, if you’re not the cooking type, we have collected donations toward the cost of food and/or other necessities in the past. There will shortly be a sign up sheet circulating and you will be able to find it on the ISSDC SE Yahoo Group or contact Marti Nottingham for further information and/or to sign up.

ISSDC SE :: FEBRUARY 27 :: PLAYDATE

ISSDC SE REGIONAL LET SPRING BE HERE PARTY/PLAYDATE

Are you done with this cold weather and snow, sleet and ice? Ready for Spring and warm weather to be here already? In an effort to bring in the warm weather and bring on the fun we are having a party and playdate. So bring your warm weather thoughts, an appetizer or dessert dish to pass, a chair for you and a dog or two!

WHAT: The ISSDC SE Region is holding a “Bring in the Spring” party and playdate on February 27, 2011. It will be at our usual place as the Dog School of Leesburg has again generously lent us use of their facility!

WHEN:
February 27 – begins @ 12:00pm

WHERE:
The party and playdate will be held at the Dog School of Leesburg facilities. Many of you are familiar with this facility now as this is the same place we’ve held some previous events. It is always wonderful to be able to have the dogs there with us.

Dog School of Leesburg
305 E Market Street
Leesburg, VA 20176

Please contact Marti Nottingham for directions or if you have any questions on the location.

WHY:
Just ‘cuz. We are always up for a playdate and maybe a“warm weather” dance or two will help! Your Shilohs are welcome (and honorary Shilohs too)! We encourage you to bring them but we remind you to be aware of your dog(s) at all times. There are plenty of exercise pens, rooms with doors and windows where you can keep an eye on things and even crates in the back should there be some misbehavin’ and a timeout is in order.

Please also bring along a chair or two for the humans attending and don’t forget any supplies you might need for your dog such as water.

HOW MUCH:
No charge ... just your time, and a potluck dish to share! It seems like appetizers and desserts are on the menu—so bring your favorite dessert or appetizer dish to share!
