Bay-PAH is a 100% volunteer-run organization. Without your generous support, these awesome Bay-PAH events would not be possible.
As we approach our fifth(!!?) anniversary of Bay-PAH, I look back with awe at how much this community has come together and grown. You guys are awesome!
But we need help. We need some of the extraordinary members of this community to step up and join us in navigating this journey.
Want to help us out? That would be amazing! Please see here for more details: Bay-PAH Needs Your Help!
Please either contact us on Telegram, or use our Contact Form to let us know you want to volunteer!

FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
This event is 21+
What can I bring into the event?
Well, um… It is an online event so please bring a beverage and conversation to share with others.
BAY-PAH is looking forward to BLFC 2021, but with community safety our biggest priority, we are choosing not to host events at the con this year. There are several compounding reasons which contributed to our decision. First and foremost is the rise in Delta variant breakthrough COVID-19 cases. 🧬 💉 🦠
This means we will not be hosting any events at the con. This includes a Puppy Mosh, Human Pup Play 101 panel, or other semi-private or public in-room events.
We look forward to hosting events at future cons, supporting cons in other ways, and of course, seeing all of you, our friends! Be Safe, Get Vaccinated and Wear a Mask. ❤️❤️❤️
Now that we’re out of chocolate, and hopefully done with our tax forms, let’s hang out and get some gaming in!

Greetings~nyaa! This cat, and the rest of the board, wanted to update you on our plans for BLFC and PAW!
We are coordinating with the organizers of both events to ensure the health and well-being of all involved. Our plans are currently in flux as guidelines are still evolving. It is our hope that we will be able to resume sharing our enthusiasm for all things furry, puppy, and whiskey with a full set of events, parties, gatherings and more.

Happy Howling 2021! This cat hisses at 2020. HISS~!
Please join us for our first event of the new year, a virtual panel at Further Confusion 2021! The panel will run from 4pm – 5pm (PT) on Sunday, January 17th.
It will be a ton of fun! Let’s meow together (or, ahem, “bark” as some of you do…) optimistically for the year ahead.
Woofs, Meows, and Salutations, wonderful puppy community! Purrs and virtually rubs up against all of you
Please join us on Thursday, June 4th at 7PM (Pacific Time) for a panel and social hour! We have selected several pups in the community to share why they enjoy the world of puppy, reminisce on old times, and share how they’ve been pupping out in this strange new world we find ourselves in.
Details on how to join the event will be posted beforehand on the Bay-PAH telegram channel. Stay tuned!
Kai joins us from FRES-PAH in the California Central Valley aka San Joaquin Valley. He can be found on Facebook at https://www.Facebook.com/davidlicalsi or on Snapchat: dlicalsi0216
Welcome Kai! Could you please introduce yourself?
I’m Alpha Kai, David LiCalsi, from Fresno Ca. My Fiance and Beta pup is Dustin AKA Pup Hero.
I tend to be aggressive or authoritative in nature tis why I work at the corporate level in the food industry. Have to get results somewhere.
Used to work for my counties coroners office as a transporter and evidence collector.
Was in the US Army twice. Recent position was Human Intelligence Collector aka Interrogator or interrogations
How did you become involved in human puppy play?
I randomly joined tiktock when I was sleeping in the opposite room of my ex husband. We had started divorce proceedings and I was sleeping in an armchair drunk every night. I had no happiness. Joined TT and saw pups on videos. Thought as I was drunk “That could be me!!” Woke up the next day and realized sober I still wanted to do it it now helps me with my depression, bipolar, PTSD, and anxiety. I proudly wear my hood driving and in public.
Do you consider yourself to be a pup, a handler, both, or something else?
An Alpha Pup. But I have Handler qualities I am looking into
What are the top things you enjoy about human puppy play?
Friends and community support
Freedom from my mental issues.
Love and compassion for those the same as I am.
Are you a member of a pack?
No pack. Never have been. Never found a reason to.
What do you like best about your pack?
N/A
Has your involvement in human puppy play impacted other aspects of your life?
I am able to go to work on a shitty day and think “it’s almost over and I can get into pup headspace and not have to deal with adulting
I spend so much of my free time educating myself about all aspects of BDSM even if I am particularly uninterested in the kink/fetish myself. This is due to the need to know more. My mind is hungry for knowledge. I will never stop learning.
You see a squirrel; what do you do?
Chase that mother fucker. Watch me.
Do you have any advice for new or curious pups and handlers?
Do you have any advice for new or curious pups and handlers?
Read books out there. They help you TRULY understand pup play.
Find pups near you and meet and greet with them.
Socials. Go to them. You can hide behind your hood. I HATE meeting people but if I have my hood and I dont have to take it off, well then, they cant see nothing but a pup.
I works. Promise you this!!
And when you’re comfortable with them surprise them and take your hood off. It makes it that much more special to see the human under the pup space!!
What is your favorite color?
100000000000% only TEAL
Thank you Kai! You were the first to reach out to me to tell your story! You have truly stepped up in the FRES-PAH Community! You are in need of belly rubs next time we hold a meet! =D
Last week, The Governor of California issued an executive order asking residents throughout the entire state to shelter-in-place, causing all of our lives to be affected. Through this tough time, The Board Members of BAY-PAH are wanting to reach out to assure you, that we are still here for you!
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation, BLFC has been postponed until Halloween, and while this is a delay in our schedule of events, BAY-PAH still intends to be there on the rescheduled dates!”
While this executive order is in place, we recommend you stay home and minimize public social contact as per direction from the World Health Organization, and Center for Disease Control.
We also would like to invite you to stay in touch with us, via our chat located, on Telegram.
Chat: in app @baypah or https://t.me/baypah
Remember to keep those heads up and tails wagging! Don’t worry pups, we may not be able to go to the puppy park right now, and have to stay indoors, but as soon as this is over, we can go out and go on all the adventures together! We shall get through this!
You are all an amazing community, that we are honored to be part of! If you need to talk to anyone, we are all only a chat and PM away!
Meows, Barks, and other Salutations, gentle Bay-PAH folk –
As you are no doubt aware, the COVID-19 outbreak is a dynamic and evolving situation. As we move closer to BLFC, the Bay-PAH board of directors continues to monitor the situation. At this point in time, we intend to move forward with our BLFC events as planned.
I am sure you have many questions. I’ll meow about some of them:
We are staying up-to-date on Reno’s municipal response, Nevada’s state-wide response, GSR’s local response as well as that of BLFC coordinators. Our current decision is to go on with the show, so long as BLFC itself is happening.
We are concerned with the stigma against those who have recently traveled, who are of Asian descent, are emergency or health care providers, or are in any other group who is being hurt by this stigma. Bay-PAH will not tolerate any such behavior toward our guests, our volunteers, or our staff.
What you can do
Wash your paws!
Stay home if you aren’t feeling well!
Keep up-to-date on on advice from the CDC and WHO.
And please remember:
Everyone deserves compassion and respect. We are all on this planet together. COVID-19 doesn’t care who it infects, and we are all potentially at risk. If we help each other stay informed and take appropriate precautions, care for each other, and stand against stigma and predjustice, then we can better protect each other, our communities, and ourselves.
