{04oct2009: marymoor dane days}

Sundays at Marymoor there are weekly great dane meet ups... the group is Marymoor Danes.  We started bringing Darwin out as soon as she got all her shots, and we've got to meet alot of danes in the area.  Its great.   The group is usually there between 10-2 on Sunday's... people walk through the park and if we run into each other we all walk the park together taking breaks and letting the dogs play.

Today there were quite a few... I think the group got up to at least 10-15 at one point.  And there were a few more walking the park on their own.
There are currently big piles of wood chips throughout the park, waiting to be spread this coming weekend, that Darwin loves to climb.

A new blue boy showed up at the park today, Turkish.  He's a big 10 month old boy.
{Sirus Darwin almost 8mos and Turkish 10mos}


He's still intact, so there were a few scuffles between him and some of the other males in the group, but all in all everyone had a good time.  It's always fun to meet new danes.

It's nice to be part of the Yahoo group of Marymoor Danes, because with us being newbie dane owners we always have a lot of questions.  And any questions we may have about Darwin we can send a message to the group and usually get a good number of responses that can help us out.  It's been a great help.

  4. Ooh, you're so lucky to have a group of Danes to romp with regularly! That is what is missing in Auckland - there are Danes who meet up to practise show stuff by standing & running around in a ring but nothing for us "pet" Danes, who don't want to do that stuff!

    Slobbers,

  7. It is very lucky to have this group. I think being around danes so much has helped ease Jason into accepting how big Darwin could get and not "holy cow shes gonna be huge".
    Abbey, I used that site as part of my research too.. I have it linked on the side of my page too!
    Kira, thanks for coming by!
