For some reason this was never sent out. So, I apologize because it should of been sent out automatically two days ago. What a Bummer.
I hope some of you will get this in time and can still make it out tomorrow.
I'd switch it to Sunday but Sunday is supposed to be all cold and cloudy and tomorrow is going to be SUNNY!
I hope to see you at Ross Park, Vancouver between 1:30pm & 3pm tomorrow!
Ross Park
First of all I hope your all doing well and that you all had a nice Thanksgiving.
As your loyal organizer I have attempted to look for parks closer to our Portland members and we have had 2 out of our 6 play dates at Portland Parks and so far I've chosen these parks because I researched them or I was told that they were nice but unfortunately, both times I was highly disappointed and in comparison to Ross Park in Vancouver they're just not as nice. They were both too small, overcrowded and they both used mostly sand as their ground cover which is horrible in my opinion. Those two parks were Gabriel Park and Normandale Park.
So, either I have horrible park picking skills..or Ross is just the best and I'll always be disappointed BUT I have not given up on Portland yet and if YOU personally know of a nice BIG park in Portland that has grass and that you've personally been too and that you enjoy then please let me know and we'll check it out. It's be great if we could alternate between a Portland park and Vancouver. That would be ideal.
Ross Park Complex
So, this weekend we will be meeting at Ross Park again. Ross park is beautiful and it has everything we look for in a dog park.
Ross Park is the second largest off-leash dog park in the Portland area, it's 7.72 acres and is also one of the highest ranking dog parks by users at Portland Pooch.
Dogs are allowed off leash in the entire park. This park features a 1.5 mile trail through the open spaces and oak trees. Ross is completely fenced in and also includes a smaller section for all those tiny doggies that our (not so tiny) dogs love to chase and terrorize. Ross park is managed by Vancouver's DOGPAW organization and they take excellent care of their grounds.
A BIG Congratulations to Russ and his new 10 wk old Goldendoodle puppy that he just brought home from Big Oak Ranch!! This is Russ's third doodle and I hope we get to meet them all someday soon. I also got my Goldendoodle Toby from Big Oak Ranch and I hope that Russ is as pleased with his puppy as we have been with ours. Toby has been a blessing to me and my family and he has literally changed our lives.
I'm also excited to mention my new Standard poodle "Daisy" who we will be bringing with us this weekend.
We look forward to seeing whoever shows up. Me and Roy and all our Doodles will be there rain or shine letting our dogs get their puppy energy out so we hope you will join us. I picked Saterday because the weather is supposed to be nicer and warmer compared to Sunday.
