Dogs

You have gone out for coffee before, but have you tried bringing your furry friend? Let’s socialize with other cat lovers and cats in a relaxing atmosphere. This is a great opportunity to socialize your kitties and provide them with stimulation. Wheneverer you arrive, feel free to grab a coffee or sandwhich from Coffee Republic and then meet us at the little park just across the way in King Farms’s Village Center. It is just Northwest of the cafe. Make sure you bring a collar for your cat! A leash/harness, backpack, cat carrier, or stroller is required to make sure our furry friends are safe 🐱 You are welcome to join us if you do not have a cat or want to leave your baby at home to nap 💤 🅿️ Parking: There is plenty of free parking in front of the cafe. Ⓜ️ Metro: The cafe is located a 15-minute walk from the Shady Grove station on the red line.

🐾 Dog Sound Bath A gentle sound healing experience designed for dogs, with their humans alongside them. Join us for a small-group Dog Sound Bath, created to support your dog’s nervous system through gentle, grounding sound. This experience is designed for dogs first, with their humans alongside them for comfort, co-regulation, and connection. Using crystal singing bowls and other soft, supportive sounds, we create a calm environment where dogs are invited to settle, rest, and relax at their own pace. Some dogs may lie down, some may remain alert at first — all responses are welcome and respected. To help us prepare a calm and supportive experience, we kindly ask that payment be completed prior to attending. Dogs will remain on leash at all times and under the care of their person. Each dog will have space to rest comfortably next to their human while sound is offered with close attention to body language and comfort cues. Sound is adjusted as needed to support each dog’s comfort. This is a small group experience to ensure safety, calm energy, and the ability to respond thoughtfully to each dog. Important details: • Dogs must remain leashed at all times • Owners are responsible for their dog’s behavior and comfort • A waiver is required to attend • If a group setting is not the right fit for your dog, private sessions are available upon request Cost & Registration: • Cost: $75 per pet • Registration & Payment: Please complete advance payment using the link below.

She feels truly blessed to now be offering her services and to give back to the fur babies who give us so much every day.

PET EXPO HAS CHANGED LOCATION TO MANASSAS SO I NEED TO FIND ANOTHER DATE FOR THIS. Please note park charges admission but meetup itself is free. I highly recommend folks invest in a NPS annual pass as it will pay for itself quickly. We will be exploring the Virginia side of the Great Falls National Park. Please meet at the visitor's center promptly at 9 am. Dogs must follow NPS rules (be kept on a leash and be 4 months/fully vaccinated). We will depart after the group picture along the ramp to the visitor center. This will be a gentle slow walk to take in views.

Looking for a spring weekend for this one. We will be gathering in front of the Tavern at 2 pm and will walk south along the towpath or Berma Road (depending on crowds) until we reach the wide water bridge entrance (across the street from Old Anglers). Please note that on perfect fall days it may be very long wait to get into the park so please check announcements related to park entrance wait times. If you miss us at 2 pm I'm sure you can catch us if you enter the park around 3 at wide water entrance. Otherwise just run along the tow path and ask where the corgis are and I'm sure you will catch up to us. This walk should be roughly 2-4 miles total. You may turn back at any point on your own if you or your corgi is exhausted. However, please note this is NOT the "death march" version of the walk as it starts at 2pm - I will schedule the death march version by poplular request as most folks don't want to walk til they drop.
