Another update on the mystery respiratory illness. These are the updated number of confirmed cases in Washington State. So far, none have been reported in Thurston county. One of the recommendations to protect your dog is "Avoid congregations of dogs", which includes dog parks. I am not going to cancel the Hawk's Prairie dog park meetup on Saturday but please use your best judgement when deciding to go or not.

With recent reports of an unidentified canine illness increasing across the nation, the Washington State Veterinarian is encouraging dog owners to be vigilant to keep their animals safe and healthy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

By now, you may have heard about the mystery respiratory illness going around. It IS present in Washington State. Here is some new information about it. We aren't going to change any existing events, but will focus more on walks where there is less potential for nose to nose contact going forward in the new year if this persists. Please use your own discretion when choosing if and when you will come to events (including, and especially, those outside of the Adventurewiener (TM) Dachshund Club - Seattle/Washington Chapter ).

It seems that the canine illness is caused by “a funky bacterium” that’s never been seen before —- and doesn’t even have a name yet.

Don't forget about the meetup at Hawk's Prairie dog park in Lacey tomorrow at 2 pm!

Thanks to everyone that came out to the dog park today. I took a lot of photos but only a few turned out. If one of these is your dog, feel free to download the picture for personal use.

Hello -

I'm Jessica and I took over the group for Katy a few months ago. You may remember receiving an email from me and Katy at that time.

I'm the organizer of the Adventurewiener Dachshund Club, a club for all of Washington State, although events are concentrated in Western Washington. I'm also the author of the blog You Did What With Your Wiener? (https://youdidwhatwithyourweiner.com/)

When I said I would keep this group going, Katy and I discussed the additional workload for me and agreed it was acceptable to combine this group with my current group.

Although I will continue to host a monthly event in the Olympia/Tacoma/Lacey area, my plan is to sunset this Meetup group at the end of March 2023.

If you want to keep up on future events, please join the Adventurewiener Club meetup group (https://www.meetup.com/adventureweiner-club-of-seattle/) and the Adventurewiener Club Washington Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/485987141489241).

Please do this before it's too late. I will send out a couple more notices before I close this group but please more over to the other group now while it's fresh in your mind.

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.

Jessica, Gretel, and Summit

Have fun at the dog park today everyone. We're home on the east side of Snoqualme Pass enjyoing the fresh 6 inches of snow.

Great turnout at the Tacoma meetup today. I managed to get a few candid shots of individual dogs too. Too see them all, join Adventurewiener (TM) Dachshund Club - Seattle/Washington Chapter if you haen't already.

Hi All. Don't forget about the meetup at the Lacey Hawke's Prarie Dog park on Saturday 10/8. It's proving to be a warm fall but it should only be in the mid 70s.

For more details and to RSVP, click here: https://www.meetup.com/dachshund-452/events/wtrlvsydcnblb/

I won't be at this one myself but I will be at the Chamber's Bay Meetup on 11/2 (meeting there instead of the Hawks Prarie dog park).

Let me know if you have any questions. And, as a reminder, please join the Adventurewiener Club on meetup as I will be combining the Olympia events into that one (so I only have one to manage) after the first of the year. Thanks!
