Hello all. We are planning a meet and greet in Brighton, MI on June 11, from 11:00 until around 2. It will be held at a dog park http://www.ezdogpark.com/index.html  ; Please let me know if you plan on coming. The more the merrier! It should be a great time for all. If it rains, we can move indoors. I would like to know how many as we are thinking of maybe bringing dishes, etc and it will help us to make plans. Thanks!

I should have added, also, that no children under 16 are allowed in the park.  It is the park rules.

Just bringing this back up to the top.  We have about 7 coming for sure and it's still early!

Michele, loved your comment, but I thought you were older than 16?

Sorry Karen, I have a wedding to go to that day.  I wish I could get out of it and go to the gathering instead.  I hate dressing up!

I hope many of you can make it. The New England gathering has been a huge success and I know this one will be also.

Just a reminder that the meet & greet is less than 2 weeks away!  If you live in the vicinity, I hope you will plan on coming by!  It should be fun meeting other epi parents and the puppers.

Once stable, was able to reduce enzymes to only 1/2 tsp of Enzymes with each meal, but after almost 4 years of stabilization... had to increase the amount of enzymes to 3/4 teaspoon with each meal. Feed various grain-free kibble+real meat, 6x pancreatin enzymes from EnzymeDiane. I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.

I am wishing you all safe travels.  I wish I could attend but I am overbooked for Saturday as it is-wish me luck at my daughters first horse show-gulp-we leased a horse from a college student for the summer as she went overseas-think of us as glorified babysitters for a several thousand pound two year old who likes to get his way-YES I would rather be with all of you!

Last call for the Meet & Greet this Saturday.  It looks like we will have quite a few there.  Hondo and I are looking forward to meeting everyone and their puppers.  He can't wait to chase them all.  Hopefully they will wear him down!

Diane, wish you could be there, but it does sound like you have your hands full.  Have fun at the show and I am sure your daughter is so happy to have a horse to take care of all summer!

Have a wonderful time, everyone!  I am glad you won't be having the heat wave we are getting right now--tomorrow 99 degrees is predicted  here.    You will be cooler.....and of course, we know you are all COOL!  Take lots of pictures--we will be looking forward to at least "seeing" you.
