We have a regular Meet at Magnuson. This item sends one notice with a reminder for two months. Interim dates are noted on the calendar but there will be no reminders to cut down on e-mails. This is a very friendly group and a great time, if you have a flexible schedule or a vacation day, we hope to see you for IG play and a good walk.

We meet every Wednesday, weather permitting at 1:30 p.m. For November and December there will be a Meet-up at Magnuson each Wednesday at 1:30 p.m:

November 4, 11, 18, 25 and 
December 2, 9, 16, 23, 30

If you have time on any of those days, please join us in the small dog area. After about half an hour some of us walk down the water--but this IS in the big dog area and most dogs need to get used to that idea on leash AND they need to be able to stay close. It is a wonderful walk, but it does have some risks as some folks with big dogs don't watch them well. Some members usually choose to stay in the small dog area, so all options are open for IG play.

Join us for our second Meet-up at Willis Tucker Off-leash Dog Park in Mill Creek/Snohomish area. We’ll meet-up in the small/shy dog area around 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 25th, and then explore the park.

About Willis Tucker OLA: Located on the Seattle plateau, Willis Tucker off-leash dog park was the first in Snohomish county. The 11-acre off leash area includes a half-acre off-leash area for small and shy dogs, trees and trails, gravel walking paths, a wetland stream, level strips, and some steep ravines. The off-leash area is part of the 84-acre park adjacent to the residential communities of Silver Firs and Snohomish Cascade, three miles east of Mill Creek.

Location: Willis Tucker off-leash dog park is located at 6705 Puget Park Drive, Snohomish, WA 98296.

Driving Directions: From I-5, take the 128th Street exit and drive east approximately four miles to Snohomish-Cascade Drive. (128th Street becomes 132nd and then 134th as you drive east.) Turn right onto Snohomish-Cascade Drive. At the first stop sign, turn left onto Puget Park Drive. Park entrance is the next left.

Weather permitting, and if your dog is OK with this situation, meet up as the Mini Italian Mafia visits Marymoor Park. This is a huge, well-maintained, and not-that-highly-used 40-acre park that is a great walk.

PLEASE NOTE: Marymoor is not for every IG. My dogs were on leash for quite awhile before I trusted them here. The park is not fully fenced as the entrance is open and this is a huge park. Once you get to the center, where we will meet, it is less likely an IG will run out of the park--but if you have an escape artist we'd recommend a leash. Also, this is NOT a small-dogs-only area--there WILL be big dogs. There are always risks in such a situation so please protect your IG first! For those who are not sure about their IGs, keeping them on lead the first few times is highly recommended. I sure did! Letta is still allowed ONLY on leash.

All those caveats aside, we hope you can meet us to enjoy a great run. The official Meetup will begin at the circular area at the center of the park at about 9:30 a.m. and we usually hang out there for awhile to be sure everyone has joined us. Then we walk the trails and fields. Good directions to the park can be found at http://www.metrokc.gov/Parks/marymoor/

By popular demand of the IGs who proclaim "We are NOT morning dogs" and as the weather is cooling, I am returning the Marymoor Mixer to the usual time. If anyone prefers an early brisk walk through Marymoor, please send me a pm as I force my pack to be morning dogs and prefer the am! But, the formal Meetup will now be at 11:45 until it gets simmering in Seattle again.
