Here's the schedule for those who aren't working this week and wish to attend:


Noon-1pm~
Framingham bus terminal, located off Massachusetts Turnpike Exit 13, between Route 9 and Route 30 on the Shoppers' World Mall property. Weekdays buses leave on the half hour, so meet at noon with coffee in one hand, hot dogs in the other. ;) If your dog hasn't been there before, please do a walk-by to make sure it';s going to be a good experience for them. If they're scared, stay at a distance. My cell is 508-989-5859.

2pm~
2:05pm Forge Park train to Franklin center, walk to Franklin Fire Dept.
3:36pm return to Forge Park

4:30pm~
Norfolk arena, 1 Dean Street. http://norfolkarena.com/

This is a very ambitious schedule! Please feel free to do single parts of it if your dog is under a year old, if these are "firsts" for your puppy, or if your dog is showing any signs of stress at all. Remember to make these and all field trips happy events for your dog. If attention in new places or car sickness is a problem, feed about 1/2 your dog's normal meal for breakfast and make sure you've got REALLY good treats in your pocket. There will be several dogs on these trips and your goal is to have your dog's attention on you.
