Also, I found the meetup site to be very helpful in organizing and announcing the romps. I didn't want to ask anyone to help me pay for it and I didn't want to continue myself since we have DK and facebook for free and i got everyone's emails anyway and just started my own email group. We have had anywhere from 12-18 doodles at almost every romp since last year and that has been plenty. There were over 50 members on meetup and I can't imagine if they ALL showed up at one time!!!!! Most parks can't accomodate that many comfortably. I just happen to live by a brand new one now that is VERY big and clean and everyone that goes there loves it, so we can grow more next fall. Let me know how the meetup site goes for you and if you continue with it after the initial 3 months.

Jen, this is what I have made several times and every dog LOVES them. If you go to the DK Cookbook Group you will find tons more treat recipes. These freeze will too.

Moc's Homemade Dog Treat Recipe

3 eggs
2/3 cup oil vegetable or olive oil
1 pound raw beef liver
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon garlic (fresh minced or dried) or garlic salt to taste
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Beat eggs and oil a few seconds in blender. Using scissors, cut liver into small pieces and add to egg/oil mixture. Add a few tablespoons of water to any liver juice remaining in the container, swish, and add to blender mixture. Add fresh minced or powdered garlic or garlic salt 'to taste' and puree until thoroughly blended. Pour mixture into bowl. Add flour while stirring. Depending on your flour, humidity, elevation, etc., adjust flour as necessary. You want the consistency of brownie batter that can be poured into the pans -- not runny, but not like cookie dough either.
Spoon batter into non-stick or spray-coated cake or jelly roll pan (I divide the batter between two standard 13x9 sheet cake pans) and spread evenly. Tap pan on counter several times to bring up any air bubbles in the batter.
Bake for 10 minutes in 425 degree oven, or until the top is dry and outer edges are just beginning to brown. The thickness of your treats and the baking time will vary depending on the size of the pan(s) you use. Remove from the oven. Cool in pans 5 minutes.

Sue (& Murphy,)
Thank you so much for your thoughts and recommendations - I love them all! Is it possible to get your recipe for the homemade liver treats? I'm very much loooking forward to my meetup. I'll definitely post pictures afterward! Thanks again!

Bosco will be up to date on his immunizations as of 7/7 so perhaps we'll be able to join in AZ Romps after the heat of the summer!

Jennifer, first let me say Good for you! It is so fun to meet all the doodle owners and see all the different doodles play. I will tell you what I've done that has been well recieved. For the first two romps I had name tags so everyone knew who the doodle owners were and also the name of the doodle on it. I provided some homemade liver treats I made and got everyone's emails and phone numbers then.
A few I had made bandana's for them out of fabric, Red for Valentines Day, Green for St. Patrick's Day. I have a group picture of every romp we've had and have mostly posted on here and several members will do the same. We have had romps as one members home and had a Brunch and everyone brought a dish to share. We have met at 2-3 different parks also and i will probably host at my home when we resume in Sept. (getting very hot here now).
My advice is to welcome everyone and let them know who you are, bring a camera as they are so cute together and I think an hour to and hour and a half has been just right for our groups, but that is just what works for us.
Have fun and post some pictures!!!

Hi there, I'm about to have my first Westside Doodles Meetup Group in Marina Del Rey, CA. Any recommendations or advice for me?

It was (Memphis romp) a couple of weekends ago. The next organized one will be in fall.

Teri - when are the romps in Memphis?

Comment by Sue and Murphy :) on February 6, 2010 at 7:23pm

Teri, I started this group for those of us that organize romps to share ideas about what's worked or not worked well with your groups? Like we hold some of ours at a members lovely home with a huge fenced back yard. There are only our doodles, unlike a dog park, and we all bring a dish to share and have lunch together. We meet every 2nd Sat. of the month.
