Hello, my name is Meredith and I have decided to be the new organizer of this group. Thank you Deirdre for starting this group and making it as successful as it has been! There are so many animal groups on meetup that I believe keeping this group about animal advocay is the best way to go. We are here to promote animal welfare and educate ourselves in the process. All animals! This is a group for people who not only love animals but are interested in being a voice for their humane treatment. …

I started this group because I am a pet blogger and I would love to connect with other Seattle area Pet Bloggers. The Pet Blogging world is small and I think we could benefit from meeting and supporting each other. We can get together for casual social events, to trade blog tips and to talk about our goals. In the future, I hope to be able to bring in guest speakers to address our questions and needs. We welcome microbloggers who author a Facebook Page or Twitter account for your pet too!

Join the West Seattle Weiner Dog Round-Up to get yourself some doxie therapy! Meet fellow dachshunds and their owners for some playtime and a chance to talk about training (or lack there of!) issues, health and nutrition, and the general well-being of our popular breed. Longhaired, Smooth or Wirehaired; Miniature or Full-sized, all Dachshunds and their people are welcome. Bring your long dog and their long dog tales and get ready to have some fun!
