We had our first virtual play date on March 28. Four HF members and four HF dogs were present. We had our second one on Sunday, May 24. I think we had nine members and 12 or so dogs. We had our third one on Saturday, June 13. Can't remember who attended that one.

If you think you might be interested in joining us this Saturday (even if you don't yet have your puppy), PM (private message) me for the link to the Zoom meeting. For now, I'm figuring we'll meet for at least an hour. (We can meet as long as we wish.)

You will enter the meeting with your microphone muted and your video off. Then, after you decide you're happy with your appearance, the appearance of your dog(s), and your background, you can turn on your video. You are welcome to participate even without turning on your video feed, but what fun would that be for the rest of us? We want to see your dog!

Speaking of backgrounds, you can choose a background from a few choices provided by Zoom, or you can upload a background. I find it easiest to just let you see into our house. Depending on the weather, we may be able to be outside too ...

You need not be a Zoom member to join Saturday's meeting, but you might want to become a member for free just to have more options and to be able to host your family and friends for all sorts of online meetings.

As a courtesy, please keep your microphones muted unless you want to say something. That will especially be helpful if the dogs start barking. Even I will be keeping my microphone muted unless I'm talking.

Any questions? Post them in this thread.

I hope this works out as it would be so fun to meet more of you in person! (And don't worry at all about your dog's ability to stay on camera. We'd be delighted to catch even a glimpse of your darling!)

It's my birthday! I don't know yet what we'll be doing. If Dave and I decide to do something, I might not be around. OTOH, this has turned into "Tax season 2.0" so for all I know, he'll decide he needs to work on Sat. If so, you can be sure I'll be there!

Unfortunately I will be at the cabin and our internet that was supposed to be in last spring is STILL not in (I was told "2 weeks" about 5 weeks ago... sigh... gotta love it when they're having to actually run lines through a huge chunk of rural land to get to you... ).

Any chance for a weekday one sometime?

Sorry I missed it as well. i enjoyed the one I was able to join and appreciate your setting these up for us as it is fun to see everyone in real time. I saw the post, meant to follow up, but got distracted, didn’t drop by forum for a few days...find myself generally distracted more frequently since life changed so much!

Week days are hit or miss. It will totally depend on the particular day. Thursdays my cleaning guy comes in the afternoon, so sometimes it’s a bit chaotic. But depending on timing and weather, I could take my laptop outside or something.

I look forward to the virtual play dates so I’m disappointed I missed it. I unexpectedly ran out of supplies on Friday and had to get to the hardware store on Saturday before it became too crowded. The hardware store on Saturday around here is like an event if you’re trying to be cautious. They do a good job of trying to keep everyone protected but it’s a popular location so there’s a lot of waiting around in the aisles, etc. Not my ideal Saturday morning ;)
