Sunday 10/20 would be good whenever for me. To my chagrin, they don't announce the game times very early so we wouldn't know until as late as the week prior. If it were something like 10am it would be safe because games don't really start before noon.

Jeff - I've been meaning to tell you I did sign up at the service dog academy...but we only made the first class. Chuck got diahrrea (all fine now) but I'm going to have to finish up on the next round of classes. Just doing the first class was profoundly helpful though, I'm excited to finish the rest of the classes and do more there at some pt.

Chuck's been good, he's making a lot of progress in general but definitely has his days. He always bounces back from the negative experiences really well, too, which is a pretty amazing thing about him/the breed in general.

I can tell he's desperate to meet more pups, it's been pretty minimal since I've got him unfortunately and it's the number one thing I'm eager to get him more of ASAP. During our daily walks he walks by a number of fenced in dogs and he cries because he wants to play so bad. This morning he played with a lab for about 10 minutes and then when she left he was howling like I've only heard when I first took him away from his family...

Awesome, I'm glad you enjoyed the academy. They are wonderful there. Tell Mary that Link aka "Too Bad" says hello.

Glad to hear Chuck is doing well. I hear you about the wanting to play. They are such a social breed. Link can't stand not being able to play and interact with dogs...and he can't stand when dogs want nothing to do with his Husky self-confident assertiveness . We need to let him and Chuck romp soon.

I already requested the 19th off, I don't know if I can get Sunday instead. We've got a new hire, which is basically like -1 people for a while because someone has to train her, so scheduling is all weird right now (more than usual at least.) I'll keep you posted!

Sundays work better for me too, I'm guaranteed every Sunday off, not so much on Saturdays. I did take the 19th off for Korra's (and Arya's lol) Bday bash, so either day on that weekend will work.

As long as we shoot for Sunday I'm all in. I always have Sundays off and I can rotate the other day off around but swinging sat and sun can be hard.

Also Baron's new alpine harness and collar are almost here so I was wondering if anyone needed a collar or harness? Baron's old harness and collar are blue and just don't fit him well anymore. If anyone needs it, it's free game!

Ashton what size is the harness?

It's a large generic harness.

It's adjustable around the neck and breast but where Baron outgrew it was the vertical breastbone length. Based on what I know our all our dogs it should fit any of the dogs for their life time with the exception of Link.

I don't think the large will fit Karli. Remember the purple harness Korra had on the Wallace Falls hike (our girls hike), Roxy? That's the same harness in medium. It's Korra's nosework-only harness now since I have the ruffwear though. But since the girls are basically twins, I'd guess the large is too big?

Yep that is exactly what I was thinking. Karli is not quite that big lol.

Well Arya is a bit bigger...or will be I'm assuming...so maybe it'll fit her? Link is already 50 lbs and in the Wonder Walker medium he's maxed out. Not sure how that compares though.

I'm not going to be able to get that Sunday off, we have our schedule for that week already and no one wants to switch.

Call in very, very, sick!!!

Ok well I can do Sat the 19th if the time is right & that's still a thing.

If anyone is interested in letting Chuck have a playdate earlier than that let me know, I'd love to let him have some play time.

Rob what are your regular days off? My weekend is sun-tues.

Let's all shoot for sat then, we just need to agree on a time. I'm good after 2.

Lol, Jeff I wish!

Maybe 3ish then? For 10/19.

I'd love to have Korra play with Chuck too! Though next week I don't have any days off. We'll have to figure something out.

I'm on a standard M-F schedule. Sunday is a possibility if anyone is interested - might be sailing in Sequim Saturday but should be back Sunday. Just let me know if you see any dates that may work Rhia & Jeff and whomever else!

Sunday is great. You are welcome to come over after noon.

So Rhia what are we doing on the 19th at 3pm?? lol

Seriously. Momma needs to make some plans.

She had mentioned a hike...rattlesnake ridge I think that is only like a mile long. But I don't know!!!!

Okay, so not husky related, but it is Seattle related. My hubby is there playing this weekend at jazz alley with Pat Martino. If you like jazz, and have a free night, go check them out.

Wow, cool Jen. We were just there two weeks ago to see David Grisman play, he's a hybrid bluegrass/jazz musician. What does your hubby play??

And for full disclosure: when I saw you posted in here I gasped aloud. I thought you and/or Dizzy were coming

I wish me & Diz were there! Pat plays Hammond organ.

OK so update guys...meet up at the luther burbank dog park at 1pm. Here's hoping everyone can make it for Korra's bday shin-dig!!!

Sadly, I am low man on the totem pole, and have to work :/. I have Korra's bday present. So I will need to get the pups together soon.
