Waiting..its what dogs do.

Well...October was pretty busy. Cordelia, Tamara and I (OK, mostly Tamara) have added two new groups during the week and we have a Super Adventure scheduled almost every Saturday til after Christmas. We're even going Dog Sledding one day! (We are riding not pulling, of course) Tamara says we have a waiting list for some groups. I don't get what is new about that. Dogs seem ALWAYS to be waiting. We get up - we wait for you to get up. We wait ALL DAY to eat. We sit in the car forever and wait while you sit in traffic pretending it isn't your fault we aren't already at the park. We wait for you to get home. Waiting list, hah! A dogs life is one giant waiting list. (But, I tell you. It's still a pretty great life. Most everything seems worth waiting for... Especially Adventures!)

This is Cordelia Brown. Dawson has badly sprained her wrist at the dog park. So, I am totally in charge of the canine duties for now. Let's catch up....First, some IMPORTANT NEWS. RAISINS AND GRAPES ARE TOXIC TO DOGS. NOT an urban myth. Check it out at the Animal Poison Control Center. Type raisins in the search box and read the facts. This is not tail waggin' news. I like raisins and grapes. 'Course I really like chocolate and onions and we all know those are bad. Next thing you know they'll find something wrong with the beef.... HAPPIER NEWS: We have a NEW ALL TERRIER GROUP. They meet twice a week for a morning Adventure. Terriers are sooooo busy!!!! Every cell in their body seems to vibrate. There is still room for two more terriers in this group so if you are a terrier, contact us. My old dog group went to the snow last week. We had a blast! We made lots of yellow snow, we tracked some critters, and then Tamara threw us snowballs. That is is EXACTLY my cup of beef broth, I tell you. On the way home we cranked up the heat and turned on the heated dogbeds. Heaven. (I shared my bed with my friend Puglet. He isn't very big so it was okay.)

Join us at Marymoor

Dawson here. Saturday, October 8th, is a SODA work day at the dogpark at Marymoor. We'll be there helping to spread wood chips. If you hurry and go to the dog park BEFORE this Saturday, you can play on the big mountains of wood chips before they get spread out. (Don't get on Cordy's mountain unless you want to play King of the Mountain and get your tail whupped.) Get your people to take you. Or,call us and we'll take you. We have two dog park trips this week just to play on Wood Chip Mountains. The terriers LOVE them. It makes you bark out loud to watch them try and dig through. We're going to the snow on Friday; but that Super Adventure is fully booked. But we'll have more!
