Known for a stubborn, mischievous, and headstrong temperament, the Schipperke is sometimes referred to as the "little black fox", the "Tasmanian black devil", or the "little black devil". They are naturally curious and high-energy dogs and require ample exercise and supervision. Schipperkes are very smart and independent; and sometimes debate listening to owners, instead choosing to do whatever benefits them the most. First-time dog owners would be well advised to familiarize themselves w …

Meet other out-of-shape local hiking enthusiasts in this dog-and-family-friendly group. We'll set a slower pace, and start with easier, shorter hikes. Please note: I mean HIKES not walks down nature paths. :) There may be some walks down nature paths, but please be prepared to do real-life hiking. I'm unabashedly completely and totally overweight and out of shape, and I want to do something about it. If you do too, then let's start slow! If you aren't interested in pushing yourself just that lit …

Welcome to the Midweek Hiking Meetup Group. As the name implies, hikes will be offered only on weekdays, never on Saturdays or Sundays.  If you are retired (like me), have some weekdays off, or just get sick a lot on sunny work days, then this is the group for you. I will concentrate on day-hikes in the Cascade Mountains along the I-90 corridor and also Mt. Rainier.  These areas are way too crowded on weekends and are best enjoyed in the relative peace and quiet of a weekday. Most hikes will be …

If you have an Aussie or Border Collie (and heaven help you if you've got more than one!), you know that they are . . . well . . . as crazy, neurotic, remarkably intelligent, unique, extremely loving & devoted, beautiful, OCD-prone, high energy and intense as their owners. But we love 'em just as much as they love us - quirks and all! PURPOSE: This group was created to provide an opportunity for Aussie & BC owners to meet with each other and their dogs for play dates, walks, hikes, bike rides, t …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …

Welcome to Seattle WalkABulls! Although we joined meetup in October of 2012, this group was actually founded in January of 2012. We are a social dog walking group that is accepting and supportive of all breeds, and inclusive of various personalities, "issues", and sociability.

This a group started by friends who want to experience new (and old) things with new (and old) friends. After looking for a Meetup of people to experience new things with, we were discouraged by the fact that there don't seem to be any groups for women of ALL ages to experience ALL that life in our community has to offer. We're in our 30's and 40's, but you can be any age. We're moms, wives, dog-moms, singles, partners, runners, walkers, foodies, picky eaters...you get the picture! If a posted a …
