Hey guys,

So it looks like we are zeroing on a date–September 12th. Now we just need a place.

We kinda don't like Pt Isabel bc we have had lots of bad things happen there. Dillon Beach looks great but it is kind of a hike.....

Can't vouch for it bc we have never been there but this place sounds pretty cool! http://www.mill.....gpark.org/

Its a three acre dog park in Mill Valley–fenced, water, not too hot, agility course, and semi-centrally located, what more could a tripawd ask for? If we have time this weekend we will check it out but it looks fantastic.

There is also a dog park in Benicia, also centrally located and with BBQ grills but no water (of the swimming variety): Phenix Dog Park but it has gotten some mixed reviews……

watcha think?

btw Codie Rae did get to swim at Lake Del Valle but not until after hiking along a narrow, sometimes scary trail (steep drop off to the lake) and the beach we were on had lots of broken glass and several dead fishy items (mmm, mmm, good!). She had a darn good time!

Montana and we are out of town Sept 12 but we could do the Sept 19 at Mill Valley if that works for everyone.

 Aaaaaawhoooo (the sound of a bereft tripawd howling)

We most likely can't make it on the 19th and I probably won't know for sure until close to the day.  I think if most other people can make the 19th then we should go ahead and plan for that day, because of the great tie-in to the Cancer walk. Somebody would have to create Team Tripawd though (which, as I recall, requires a commitment of 250 dollars). And we should advertise our event everywhere we can think of (like in the Bay Woof, Bark, and Fetch online event calendars--I would volunteer to do that).

On the other hand, if most people can't make the 19th, Codie Rae is still available the 12th . Otherwise she won't be available until the weekend of October 10/11 or later because she is going to Montana!

I love the idea of attaching it to the colorado cancer walk. I am planning on registering to be a virtual walker- hopefully we can get a team tripawd together. I know we sure had a good time at the Elk Grove Walk.

We aren't around the 12th or the 19th-  but will definitely be thinking of you all if you choose either of those dates. If it gets bumped to Oct. we have a more open schedule.

I'll keep a watch out to see what you all end up with.

Cemil and I can go to Mill Valley on the 12th and again on the 19th for a virtual K9K--I checked the website and Tripawds doesn't have a team yet, but it only takes 10 people signing up ($25 each).  Surely we can come up with that!
