Hey everyone.... I just posted on the Sellwood thread- and thought I'd update here too.

I'm all for the 2 meetups same day (29th)  Sellwood and Potso.  Thay way, anyone who can attend either or both can.  If we do 2 meets same day,  what times should we say...... so that those that want to do both can?    What about noon and 3?  Would that work? I'm totally open to suggestions/changes.  Want this to be available to anyone who wants to meet other ratties and ratty lovers!! 

If anyone needs better directions to Sellwood meet, PM me and I'll give directions or we can talk on the phone and I can talk you through it!

Noon and 3:00 work fine for me....  

If that's too late/early, we can adjust it by an hour or so...  And I don't mind giving a lift if anyone needs it, too.  I have a small car (Jetta), but it fits ratties just fine!  I've crammed me, my BF, and all three of our dogs in it one time, so I'm sure it'll work for a person or two and a couple ratties!

3:00 for Potso is fine for me. It was fun (accidentally) meeting Lori, CocoBean & Snickers at Potso on Sunday! Cocobean is such a tiny little muffin... and just adorable!   

Chrys: As far as I'm concerned... the more the merrier... so spread the word! Susan Cadell (Ratbone's Oregon coordinator) might also want to come with her Rattie pack... I can email her... but if Dawn (Paisley's foster) knows about it, she may have already told Susan.)

Wish we cold join you - I have to pick up my human daughter from camp.....if you ever have another meet up, please post I'd like to meet up with other rat fans since we are new converts!

Beanie & I will certainly be there, along with Dave, the DH, and Snickers, the honorary RT.  We're 100% planning on Potso at 3 pm, and probably Sellwood at noon. 

I was hoping I'd have my first RBR foster, but alas, he's still in CA.  Too bad!

Hi all... I just wanted to check in about the meet up on Sunday. I'm not going to be able to make it to Sellwood because I have a dog to groom in the morning (my day off... but is sort of an emergency for a friend of one of my other clients) but I will be done in plenty of time to go to Potso. It sure is going to be HOT on Sunday... and there's not any shade at Potso, other than the canopy over the picnic table,  and that isn't going to help at 3 PM.  Don't know if anyone is still planning to come down from Washington or driving a ways..... or whether everyone will be checking in here before then. Personally if it were at all possible,  I think moving the time up to early evening around 7 PM would be a better idea with the heat... but will plan to go at 3 PM if that is what is still going to work for everyone. 

I will be there at potso at 7:00 tomorrow. Hopefully I'll see you then!

So ... if I'm reading correctly... it's Sellwood at Noon-12:30 ish...and Potso at 7 pm.

Sounds great. 

The dog and I will lie unclothed on the couch untill it is cool enough to sleep.  82 degrees now.  bleah.

Lori & CocoBean

Yes... The Potso meet up is officially changed to 7 PM.. just going to be way toooo hot any earlier! 

Looking forward to it!

Here is the web page about Potso dog park for anyone that might want it: http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/community/parks/potso_dog_park.asp

The direction on the web site are not very clear. The park is just off of Hall Blvd. going towards Tigard. From Hall Blvd. take a (left) on Hunziker, then after a few block take a (right) on Wall Street. You will see the Coe Manufacturing building right before Wall Street. The park is behind Coe Manufacturing, who donated the 4 acres for the park.

Sorry to hear about your car Susan!  Maybe we can plan another meet up later on in the summer, or early fall and (hopefully) hit it a little cooler!

I'm not sure about where you are in Washington... here we had such a rainy cold spring, and seemed like *forever* this year before we got any summer at all... lots of days in the 50's and then suddenly get slammed with the 90+ temps!  It's so hard not to have an adjustment period for the increase in temps... but considering what Jan and so many others have suffered through with the flooding... and all the states that deal with hurricanes, tornados etc. that  we rarely see in the northwest... I feel very fortunate to live here... at least most of the time! I do have a hard time with the amount of rain we get here... but can't really see myself moving just because of that... and have lived here my entire life... so I do have the webbed feet!
