I just ran into this thread.... I will definetely be checking into the boxer bash, but just for anyone's information, if you live in MA, it is hard to find a dog friendly place. I found Callahan State Park in Framingham has an area that a lot of people bring their dogs to... although not fenced in, there is a rather large open area with a pond that many dogs find a blissful experience.... the park also has lots of trails to walk through. Also, I think in Grafton, Tufts Vet Students are helping to make a fenced-in dog park... they have been trying to raise 10,000 dollars for a few years, and I have heard the "building" is on the way. Maybe in the future that area could be a secured site for a boxer-bash!!! (just thinking)
