A lunch time visit to Mount Vernon
12:30 today (TUESDAY) at George Washington's Mount Vernon: on-leash walk with Tia's Apollo et. al. Meet front entrance or (best bet) 12-Acre Field. Or ask staff if they've seen a big, fluffy dog & find us. If coming, please PM Tia and/or RSVP at [Meetup](https://www.facebook.com/groups/916975895009304/user/100064559029084/?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZbSS3h0JaLCHdbBuEXIOac23sgCs9PQ7JQIuIxPR7jXaH2pfRm4E56Z7a0CW-jKU9PdPkp7x4S9noZZyFWUARlZQnZlrzu7Wi0ViFU-upa9S4-p5HvTRDBAZAzInnwVKbEMFrc-1cJExcdGy4VV62KeTQGu4-8OAHEQIxcpLtltUULOoqWUEO0zq7wmFlGyqMUH8oB_7QAq8C0SSudxjdtw&__tn__=-%5DK-R) once posted.
Dates scheduled: Jan 6, 13, 20, and 27 plus Feb 3.
Humans pay. Dogs free. Adult day tickets $28; annual pass $69. If you like, come for a "dry run" sans dog to preview entrance/exit. Tia sometimes has an extra guest pass (PM to ask).
Dogs MUST remain on leash. Not a formal tour. We go where allowed. Walk at your own pace or with the group. We might visit river, farm, forest, and outbuildings. Staff and historians love the dogs and are always eager to answer questions or share information about George Washington and life at Mount Vernon.
IMPORTANT: Apollo is making good progress on reactivity to unknown dogs & staying calm near livestock, but enjoys pack walks. We appreciate \*SPACE\* but do well once acquainted with new dog friends. If your dog is similar, we'll get it, and give you space, too.
Apollo is a low-key, tri-color English Shepherd, long and lanky, like a stretched-out Aussie (the breeds are close cousins from historic UK herding roots). I'm a white lady who will probably have pink hair and a purple coat or jacket. If we know you're coming, I can tell Apollo your names and life will go more smoothly for us.

Run and Get Dirty! Adult Dogs in the main park, puppies in the small dog park
Our regular Sunday meetup at the Shirlington Dog Park -- members start arriving around 10:15 a.m. You'll always find an Aussie to play with. There are 3 entrances, so wander the park -- the dogs will find each other!
For puppies, Shirlington has a small dog park within the larger dog park. It's the prefect place for your puppy to gain confidence and socialize with others. There is also plenty of room to run.
Just a reminder, the Dog Park is under attack by the Arlington County Board of Commissioners. While early plans to decrease the size of the park by 50% has been tabled, it's important to remind Arlington County how important this park is to dogs and owners. Here are links to the change.org petition and the Facebook page where you can get updates.

The Washington Pug Meetup Group Monthly Meetup

A DC meetup at Dumbarton Oaks
PawsUP for David and Brick for originally suggesting this awesome meetup and our dogs love it!
-Dumbarton Oaks/Montrose Park in Georgetown
-Meet at the entrance off of R st, on the East side (closer to the cemetery)
-Plenty of street parking in the area
-Bring water and a ball for your Aussie
This park is a very large open field, that is very dog friendly. Tons of space to run and chase. Most if not all dogs are off leash. Occasional runners and kids (there is a playground), so keep that in mind. There is also a trail inside with a stream that the dogs love to play in.
Come Play: Nusfjord
It's the first game night of the month! That means we are replaying one of the games we played recently, and this time it's Nusfjord!
Welcome to Nusfjord, a tranquil fishing village in the Lofoten archipelago in northern Norway, where you will play as the owner of a fishing company. Your goal is to develop the harbor and the surrounding landscape. To succeed, you must expand your fleet, clear the forest, construct new buildings, issue shares, and appease the local elders. Do this better than the other owners (players) to win the game.
Nusfjord is a tight worker-placement Euro that feels much bigger than its small box suggests. With only three workers per round and a total of seven rounds, every action matters. Players compete for shared action spaces to gather resources, build an efficient engine, and time their investments carefully. The limited number of turns creates constant tension: do you focus on growing your fishing fleet for steady income, rush key buildings before opponents claim them, or sell shares now to fund long-term gains?
If you’ve played Agricola, Caverna, or A Feast for Odin - all, like Nusfjord, designed by Uwe Rosenberg - this will feel familiar, but faster, tighter, and more focused, with far fewer actions and less long-term sprawl.
We have two copies of the game, so RSVPs are limited to 10. Let us know if you can bring a copy, and we will add more slots.
Sunday Boardgaming @ Panera
Open gaming at Panera! New players welcome. We have many games on hand or you can bring your own. We are happy to teach or learn one of yours.

How to Move on From the Past and Feel Happy
In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past.
The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories.
When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier!
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.
