Pack - A Website for Dogs!

Pack is a new website has been built just for dogs and their people by Megan Casey and her team.  People can quickly download a photo and create a free beautiful page about each of their dogs in just a few minutes.  To see examples, here is Tim's Page on Pack and here is Hank's Page on Pack.

The site had an initial beta launch on February 14, 2013 with approximately 800 pages of dogs added on that one day.  Since then, the only way to join pack is by invitation from an existing member.  As one of the founding members, we have invitations!  If you would like an invitation to join Pack, click here to email us to send us your email address and we'll send you an invite!  (The only way we can send an invitation is by email - we promise not to spam youor send you any other emails!)

We Have a New Foster Sister

Sasha - a border collie/terrier mix

We've been pretty busy for the past few weeks because we have a new foster sister. Her name is Sasha and she is 1-2 year old border collie - terrier mix. We weren't sure we liked her that much at first because she was such a pest. She was so excited and wouldn't quit when we wanted to stop playing, but she's gotten better and now she and Hank enjoy playing chase games every day.  We especially enjoy splashing through puddles. But mom says she can't handle having three dogs living in the burbs, so we need to find her a good home.

She is listed on the Pacific Northwest Border Collie Rescue Website We know there must be someone out there who will appreciate how much fun she is and give her a great home!

A Whidbey Island Adventure

Patmore Pit Dog Park - Whidbey Island Washington

We had a great time this weekend at Patmore Pit Dog Park on Whidbey Island.  Forty acres of fenced area to run!  Partially forested trails, partially large open grassy areas with a separate fenced area with agility equipment and another for small dogs.  The weather wasn't great, but at least it wasn't raining.  



Willis Tucker Snohomish County Park Off Leash Dog Area Revisted

Here we are at the meadow area of Willis Tucker Snohomish County Park.  The construction that has lasted for over a year is done.  There are now new paved parking lots, but less mud for us to get into on the way to the off-leash areas - darn it.  There is still plenty of mud to get into in the meadow area and along the forested trail area.

We still give this dog park 4 paws!

Japanese Gulch Dog Park - Mukilteo, WA

A new off leash dog park is coming to Mukilteo!   The Tails and Trails Dog Park at Japanese Gulch park is located at 1301 Mukilteo Blvd and although the official grand opening isn't until Saturday, October 27th, but Hank and Tim took a sneak peak!  The Grand Opening ceremonies are from 10am to 11am and the festivities will include a dog Halloween Costume contest.

Play Time at Cavelero Hill Dog Park - Lake Stevens, WA

Recently Tim and Hank and I had a morning romp at the off leash dog area at Cavalero Hill County Park near Lake Stevens, WA.  The park is part of the Snohomish County Park System and the dog park consists of 2 completely fenced areas - a three acre meadow area complete with some agility equipment and a smaller quarter acre "shy dog" area.

We had the place to ourselves for quite awhile before a few other dogs and their people arrived.  The arrival of the additional dogs gave Tim and Hank the opportunity to make some new friends and they all raced around the perimeter together in a blur.

Magnuson Dog Park in Seattle

A couple of months ago we made a trip to Magnuson Dog Park in Seattle.   It took us awhile to get Vicki to go to the computer, load up the photos and write up our adventures.  This is me (Tim) meeting up with some of the other dogs at the swimming area on Lake Washington.  Hank was having so much fun running around that Vicki never got a good photo of him - they were all a blur.

I found lots of really great smells and in this photo I'm thinking about leaving my scent to let everyone know that Tim was here!  We had a really great time and give this dog park 4 paws up out of  4!
