** WA PT Meeting - Marymore Park **

[RubyMutt]

Tomkatzid and myself are planning on meeting up at the Marymore Dog park in Redmond, WA. Would anyone else like to join us?? :D We'd like to do it one of the first two weekends of August (August 2nd, 3rd, 9th, or 10th). Can anyone make it? Which day would be best for everyone?

[veegan]

WOOO!!!! Yeah man!! I can bring Buddy (smith's golden) and I know Kirsten & Jim would love to go too! They are there almost everyday anyway. hehe Smith might tag on along too. As far as I know right now, any of those days works for me. I hope others can come too!! Fun fun! Marymoor is AWESOME!!!! We are really lucky to have such a great dog park so close. Ive talked to a few people who come a long way to go there; 2 people all the way from Olympia. And of course they cant go too often either. Well anyhoo.. hope more people join in! :)

[andrea_NMAggie]

Sounds like a great time! I usually go to Marymoor with tomkatzid anyway!! Any of those days work for me...let me know, I'll see if I can drag my boyfriend!

[Cheshirekatt]

Ohhhh! Me! Me! lololol Joxer would loooooove to come. :D

Either the 2nd or 9th would work for me!

[tomkatzid]

This is going to be such fun:D :D :D :cool: Cheshirekatt, I didn't know you were here in the Seattle area. andrea_NMAggie, you can follow us if your in the truck and if not you can ride with us. The girls are SOOOOOOO excited. Us too:D veegan and RubyMutt we can hardley wait to meet you and Cheshirekatt.

[Airedalekisses]

Love to be there!! thanks so much-don't know exactly what time my plane gets in on the 10th-but I'm gonnna try to be there with pockets full of goodies.:)

[jenfer]

Oh yay! I'd love to go... but of course Chilli won't be there. But I'd love to meet all the doggie. :D Just let me know the details!!!

I went to Greenlake today for a walk after work today, and I keep saying "Awwwwwww...doggie". I guess I had annoyed my friend. heehee...:D

[RubyMutt]

This is going to be so much fun! :D I can hardly wait :) Anyone else want to join in???? ;)

[Corinna]

LOve to be there but too far and I work weekends. I spent many a weekend there for fun matches when I was actively showing dogs. Have fun for me tooo.

[jenfer]

I think mysimon27 will be coming as well. I will see my friend will come or not. :)

[RubyMutt]

We will be meeting at Marymoore on the 9th.

Maybe when Airedalekisses is in town we can all get together again?? How long will you be in Seattle? Would you be free sometime?

Also, tomkatzid (or anyone else who has been to Marymoore), do you think you could post directions? I know at least myself and jenfer don't know how to get there. Thanks :D

I leave for Alaska in just a few hours so if you have any other questions you should PM tomkatzid :D

I hope to see you all soon! :D

Drat I don't get there until the evening of the 11th;but if everyone wants to have lunch and play with doggies-I'll grab Knatie(human member) I'll be in Seattle until the 18th or if I can wangle it- longer!
Have a great time in Alaska!!

[slick]

Darn.....if it was on the 16th or 17th I could make it. I think I'm about 3 hrs drive away. Oh well, next time.

[tomkatzid]

Airedalekisses we will do it again the next week end if you want. We would love to meet you. And Slick if we do it again then do you want to drive down?:D We could do it every week end:D :D :D , well that might be a bit too much. We live about 45 min south of there, but would love to come and meet you guys.
Airedalekisses you can PM me what your up to while in Seattle and maybe we can set something up. I'll PM you my phone #'s too. Just some pictures of the times that we have gone there before.

[RubyMutt]

Another update....

We decided to meet between 9:30 and 10am by the place where you buy food and the dog wash van :D

So, here's the list of everyone that's coming...

tomkatzid
veegan
andrea_NMAggie
Cheshirekatt
jenfer
mysimon27
Jiminydobe
RubyMutt

is that still correct? I can't wait to meet you all (and see veegan & Jiminydobe again) and see all the pups! :D

(since Slick and Airedalekisses will be in town the 16th & 17th maybe we can get together again?? Ideas anyone????)

[veegan]

WOO! That is PERFECT timing. Ill let kirsten (JiminyDobe) know since she prob doesnt know about this thread. I know Im so excited to meet all the puppers! :D And see cutie patootie Ruby again! :D teehee Oh I just was thinking, to let you all know, on the times there are concerts we have to park in a diff lot, but there are signs and I did see that van up there today too, so yeah. But I do not think there will be a concert that early! lol Oh and the groomer van isnt always there, but as long as everyone knows where it usually is thatll be cool eh? And heck yeah, Id love meet up again on the 16th/17th. I'm almost always there with Jiminy & Kirsten anyway lol.

[RubyMutt]

Alrighty, I sent Kirsten a PM as well. :)

Are you two riding together? Do you think maybe Cheshirekatt and I could follow you?? Marymoor is out of our familiar territory :D We can meet up in Everett and then meet up with you somewhere in Mill Creek. Would that be alright?? Maybe by Pets Plus or something! :D

[veegan]

"Alrighty, I sent Kirsten a PM as well.

Yeah we are. And yeah thatd be coo-el maan. :D And sure, the Pets Plus parking lot is a good idea. :D BUT f.y.i., pets plus moved D: they are all the way up 180th on highway 9 now. But their old sign is still there and stuff so we can still meet there. :) ITS A DATE! haha See ya sooon!

[jenfer]

hmm.......hopefully i can find the park. :D

[veegan]

just get the address and get driving directions at mapquest. i always use mapquest, it rocks babyyy. lol

[RubyMutt]

I was telling my parents about our little meeting and they would really love to tag along. They are both dog lovers and have been wanting to go see the Marymoor dog park for awhile now. But if they go, I'll just ride with them and since my dad knows how to get there I won't need to follow you. We can still meet up if you want (I can't believe Pets Plus moved! :eek: It's been there forever!). Actually that would be kind of cool since I have no clue how the park is situated and I also have no idea where the food place & dog wash van is. :)

Cheshirekatt, you'll probably take the trestle into Everett, right? I'm trying to think of a good meeting spot around there... maybe the QFC on Everett Ave & Broadway. Do you know it?

[Cheshirekatt]

Yep, the trestle it is! QFC would be great....what time do you want to meet?

[RubyMutt]

Maybe around 8:30. Would that be alright? I think it'll be at least a 45 minute drive from Everett to Marymore. Then if we do swing into Mill Creek we'll have to give a little extra time for that. :)

[veegan]

yeah man we can still meet at pets plus so i can guide yous guys to the meeting place. so meet at about 9 then?

[RubyMutt]

Sounds good to me. And that's at the old Pets Plus location, correct?

[veegan]

jah the old wan. i almost specified that but then.. i didnt. lol but yes

[Cheshirekatt]

sounds good to me. :)

[RubyMutt]

okay, I am officially starting a countdown! (I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun - rain or shine!)

It's just a little past 11pm on Thursday the 7th... so we should all be meeting up at Marymoor in around 35 hours!! :D

[tomkatzid]

Ashlee and Nina can't even sleep they are sooooooooooooooo excited:D :D

[anna_66]

I wish I could be there too, so make sure you take lots of pics & have tons of fun:D

[Rachel]

Although I can only share your excitement vicariously, I think this is just wonderful. Please remember to take pictures for us.

[veegan]

oh yes! musnt forget the camera!! (I gotta buy some film :eek: ) Since my digital cam was lost/stolen in San Francisco I wont be able to take nearly as many pix as Id like!! :( The rest of yous better bring cameras too! :D

*tick tock* Only 25 hours and 2 mins and counting! :) :D :cool:

[tomkatzid]

Wilson might get to come. Her Mom is recovering from surgery but might be able to come for a bit. Hopefully:D :D

Oh! I wish I could bring my Buford, but he's not too fond of other doggies....

[tomkatzid]

Here's bo, ready to go........................

[tomkatzid]

I was thinking about bringing Tico (dalmation) and Max (cocker) along too. They are a hand full though without their Mommy. I will ask her and see what she thinks. You all would have to help me keep on eye on them?1?!

I will!! I will!! :D

Oooo.... Seeing all these photos are making me even more excited! :D Only a few more hours!! :D

[tomkatzid]

Oh No...... Wilson can't come, her Mom is too ill. So wilson will stay home and take care of her.


And I guess I won't bring Tico and Max. It would just be too much to even get all 4 of them there in one car. No one wants to sit next to anyone........silly pups. Except Max, he's cool with everything.;)

[tomkatzid]

See you all in about 11 hours:D :D :D ;)

[RubyMutt]

I just got a PM from jenfer saying that she and mysimon27 won't be able to make it to Marymoor tomorrow :(

Everyone else is still planning on it, right??

Well, only about 11 more hours to go! :D

[RubyMutt]

wow, we posted at the same time :eek:

as long as I get to meet Ashlee & Nina I'll be happy!! :D

I was thinking about you earlier... that would've been quite a car load!! :eek:

[tomkatzid]

We'll be there. Nina doesn't want ANYONE to touch her when she is sleeping , resting, or riding in the car. She growls at Ash if her tail comes on her side:p

10 hours, gee I'd better get some sleep.:eek:

Cool! What kind of vehicle will you be in? Joxer and I will be in an 89 black toyota pick-up with a white canopy.

:D

[RubyMutt]

a PURPLE '97 Ford Escort (it's my mom's car & the car that has been dubbed "The Ruby Mobile" :D) I have forgotten what color the upholstery is there's so much dog hair in there!! ;)

I'll be looking for you! :D

Eek! It just started raining again...

just a little over 1 hour until I meet you at QFC & around 3 hours before Marymoor! :D

[tomkatzid]

WOW you guys are up early:eek:

[RubyMutt]

Yep! :) And we're leaving now to go meet Cheshirekatt! Ruby is so EXCITED!! :D I'll see you all soon! :)

[tomkatzid]
