A different day or different activity is good with me. Since I'm free that whole week, you guys can hash out a date.
I think the only time I honest to god hike is out camping. Otherwise I take Korra for 2-3 hours, but it's more play and recall than let's-get-somewhere hiking.

Lol, okay. I rarely sleep in my own bed during late spring thru early fall. My 65L pack is always packed and ready for a 2 night trip. Hiking is my thing.

Now I have both end of the month Sundays and the last Saturday free if we want to do a hike then. And maybe just do a park on the 25th?

I forget who posted the link to this husky meetup:
http://www.meetup.com/SeattleHuskies/
but I went and it was super fun. I don't feel like bothering with Korra's scrapbook, so just a couple shots.




I kept Korra on leash for maybe an hour. We worked on her attention ON leash first. She did super, super good though, very proud today
Watching them all play was too cute for words. Worth going for sure.

The last weekend is good for me, like I said, I'm all free.
What park would you like to go to if we do that on the 25th instead?

What parks are out your way? There's not much here on the island.

That looked like lots of fun!!!

Should we go to a park in Seattle? Magnuson maybe? Maybe there's something more towards the middle? I'm not familiar with a lot of the parks around here.

It was, makes me want another husky. Or 3..

Like collectables!!!

Lynnwood is in the middle right? We could do something there.

Sure, that area's fine with me

Magnuson is a great midway park.

Dog parks are scarce in Lynnwood. There are a couple short trails down to some beaches that are fun to walk in the Northwest corner of the city. Edmonds and Mukilteo both have dog beaches, Mountlake Terrace has a small forested OLA surrounded by Leashed trails. Willis Tucker, to the North East is up in the area too. Whidbey Island has a SWEET park, but the fence isnt 6ft, and some of the islanders have crap dogs. There is a dog beach over there too, but it isnt fenced.

Oh, dog beach sounds like fun. I wouldn't mind going to Whidbey Island. We are going on a weekday, right? Usually it's just dog walkers mid-day. Hopefully that reduces the chance of crap dogs. And crap people.
Man, I'm so pissed we didn't get any snow. I'm officially going up to get some since it's not coming down here. Korra needs snow. Well, I need Korra to have snow, really. Because, puppies and snow, aww.

I'll be Seattle side with Baron in 2 months! Ballard specifically

We will see you, im sure!

Sorry I didn't respond sooner guys, been sick.

There are crap dogs here in Oak Harbor, but there is a really nice park in Coupeville that is HUGE and not very many dogs during the day.

A trail to the beach also sounds like a great idea. So many choices lol.

Does anyone know of any good parks right in the Ballard area? I'm trying to arrange my housing strategically for work and Baron.

Ballard itself doesnt have a lot of parks. Its kind of commercial. However, there are a couple spots to check out. Those being...

Golden Gardens Beach. Its a huge public beach. Tons of people flock there in the summer. There is an off-leash park up the hill. Its 4 acres and full of over friendly rough playing dogs. Perfect for a young rambunctious husky.

Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Gardens at The Ballard Locks. Its a 7 acre park that leashed dogs are welcome at, and offers plenty for humans too.

If you venture outside of Ballard a little, but still in Seattle...

Magnuson Beach has a great freshwater dog beach, and huge fenced park to the North at Sand Point.

Northacres OLA in Northgate is an excellent off-leash park.

Discovery Park is a wonderful place for leashed walks

Well I work for Apple and with be working in the U-District. My main goal is to be somewhere with a yard and parks nearby so after work I can make it out daily. I'm not married to moving into Ballard for any reason other than being able to still come home on my hour lunch breaks to eat and hang with the pup. As far as traveling Baron and I are used to weekly two hour treks to the different corners of the Gulf and East coast for new places to explore.

I was born and raised in Portland and plan on making monthly trips with him down there and the Oregon coast and getting back into actually mountain hiking will be a bi weekly must for sure.

Long of the short distance isn't much of an issue other than the immediate play for after work

Dude. I live in Bothell, way far from the city, with a giant yard, and i can get to the UD in about 20 minutes. You should try for Mountlake Terrace..

What's the deal for Monday? Are we still getting the dogs together? Roxy, I'm gonna pm you

I work until 230 monday. We could all hit the dog park though..

So any good vets in Seattle? Want to get Baron in touch as soon as I get in town later this month

Ashton, I don't..I live in Redmond and my vet is good, but nothing special.

Some pictures from today. I think I need to switch lenses though, most shots were tiny specs running around in the distance..especially Karli and Panzer











I'd love to see some of the pictures you took, Roxy.

I will upload them when I get home...I got some really good shots!!! Karli was done for the rest of the day lol.

It was great to meet you and korra today. I am definitely in for the next meetup.

It was great meeting you too.
Technically, this should be in "sightings" but I don't wanna start a new thread. Anyways, pictures. It was nice and sunny so I could get them in action They were great playmates, we should do it again some time.

Awesome! So funny you guys ran into each other.

You will have to start posting so we can all give your dog his due love and compliments
