I can't wait!!! And Abby is super excited to have two handsome boys fighting for her attentions. (Goodness, her head is already so swelled up… She's going to be impossible after this!)

Here are some basic directions to get there – take 5 South to the Sea World Drive exit and take the right fork of the exit ramp. Make the first right, which will curve around almost in a U. Make the first immediate left, which will take you on to Fiesta Island. You have to loop around to the back side to get to the fenced dog park area. The rode makes you loop around to the right at first, then about 3/4 of a mile or so along, you'll take the left fork and then start looping around to the left. You'll see the bay on your right hand side. Once you see the chain link fencing on your right, pull in and park there. We could meet up right inside the fence there. (Sometimes cars get broken into here – which is a bummer, but I've never had a problem. Don't leave valuables out in the open in your car.)

Hope folks can meet up even though it's a Wednesday. Bring water for your pups.

I hope Abby will be nice. She likes other dogs – except when toys are involved. :)

Oh boy oh boy!
Jackie, Abby's mom

Oh, Ranger… You do know how to sweet talk a girl!

I wish you could come too! I hope I get to meet you some day. You look like a good kisser. ;)

KISSES,
Abby

Hi guys – i was looking at the tides today and it is going to be high tide at 10am. on Wed, so I am thinking we should meet on a different side of FI. (The bayside by the main parking lot doesn't have a lot of room to walk along the water at high tide – and even though there is the whole massive field to walk around, Abby prefers to be down by the water so she can keep cool.)

So I think it's better to meet at another parking area about maybe 1/4 to 1/3 mile past the main parking. That way we can still be by the water (it's a different part of the bay called "Hidden Anchorage") where usually even at high tide it is easier to walk.

When you see the main parking area (just a big dirt area) by the fencing on your right hand side, keep going a bit further. Once you see water again and the fence running out, that is where you want to park. I'll try to get there a little early, so you should see my old, blue Ford SUV. If you do get there before me, park along the fence and go right at the water's edge. We can meet up along the water there.

I hope this isn't super confusing. We went today and Abby did really well, walking much farther than I thought she'd be able to. Keeping fingers crossed that she'll be good to go on Wed.
