Columbia Dog Lovers Meetup Group

"I work for the Columbia Health Department. Another member, Stephanie, referred me to the group! I work with the media, marketing and public relations. I grew up on a farm north of town and have always had dogs and pets around!"

"Thanks for the advice! Actually yesterday was the first day that they sat by each other on the floor- I was amazed! The rescue called her "Tess" but she didn't know her name, so I call her Chloe, she is a red Merle w/off white markings. She came w/AKC pedigree but was in a puppy mill all her life and had it pretty rough. She is a real sweetie though! I have a pic of her on my profile under photos."

"It can take a while, Bailey knows "his" house and yard, the new dog will have to learn where everything is and the rules of the house. Just depends on how everyone can share and also have thier own "space". What is Bailey's new sisters name and what color is she?"

"Hi Karen! More Aussie ?'s for you; I got a pal for Bailey from a rescue. She's 7 and was rescued from a puppy mill. They 2 get along but hoave not really "bonded". I've never owned 2 dogs, how long does it take for them to bond? Had her since Sat. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks, Michelle"

"Thanks Kim! I will definitly be at the next one, with either one or two! Hopefully with two- I am keeping my fingers crossed! "

"How exciting that you are doing a trial adoption! I hope everything works out and we'll see you at the next meetup! (hopefully with a new one!)"

"Oh no problem, give her lots of treats and I hope she feels better. See ya at the next meetup!"

"Hi Kim! Sorry Mac and I didn't make it to the meetup yesterday - she just got spayed last week and wasn't quite up to it. We're definitely looking forward to the next one!"

"How cute! We are actually going to meet Bailey's potential sister tomorrow so I hope he's on his best behavior and willing to share his toys and treats with her! Poor Bailey just can't understand why my cats don't want to play with him!"

"Lilly will bring a toy to me to play with, then Patch gets jealous and brings a different toy and the game is on!!"

"Hello. I have a very spoiled Great Dane that loves his baby blankets and taking naps all day. He cuddles with our cats and is just happy to be home. "

"My name is Michelle Amor; I have a very spoiled Aussie named Bailey, plus have a female Aussie on trial from a rescue group in KS (see my photos). They are potato chips, you can't have just one!!!"

"I stay home with my 4 year-old. We have a big back yard where he and Bono can play. There is a lasaa apso who shares our yard, and they're both estatic to see him. My 11 year-old and their dad love animals, too and will attend the meet ups with us"

"Hello! I'm looking for other people in the area who love their dogs as much as I love mine! I don't always get to attend, but always have a great time when I do!"

"Hi, I'm Brandy and this is my little girl Belle. She is a little over a year old puggle. She is looking for some friends to play with. I work all week and looks forward to some activity during the weekends. She really loves to chase and wrestle.."

"Hi everyone, I'm Karen and I have two Aussies, Patch who is 7 soon to be 8 and Lilly who is 1. I'm a nurse who works weekends so meetings through the week work best for me."

""Hello, I'm Jasmin and this is Mozart, my best friend and companion. We live near Rolla, Missouri and are very happy to join this group. We are looking forward to finally meet some dogfriendly people to chat with. Hallo everybody!"

"Hi, I'm Jessica. I work at Treats Unleashed, the wonderful doggie bakery! I have a long haired dachshund named Oscar. He will be 2 on May 18 and he is my heart! "

"My name is Stephanie, I have just added a new member of the family this past Sat. His name is Zeke he is 14 wks old and he is an English Bulldog. He is already becoming very spoiled him and his "daddy" are the best of friends already! We look forward"

"Hi! I'm Maren. I'm a vet student and I'm interested in holistic nutrition and behavior. I've got 4 dogs and we love going to the trails!"
