Building a Positive Community Together

 

At Seattle Pups and Handlers, we believe in fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome to express their beliefs and explore themselves through meaningful discussions. We encourage lively exchanges of perspectives, as they allow us to learn from different viewpoints and expand our horizons. However, it's crucial to remember that respectful interaction forms the foundation of productive conversations.

 

Our Code of Conduct outlines specific guidelines to ensure everyone feels safe and empowered to participate. Harassment, including offensive language, threats, and personal attacks, undermines this supportive atmosphere.  We take any violation of the code very seriously. Depending on the severity of the incident, consequences may range from warnings and temporary bans to permanent removal from the community.

 

If you experience any harassing behavior, please don't hesitate to report it. You can email our board directly at board@seapah.org. By treating each other with respect and fostering a spirit of collaboration, we can create a thriving community where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves and contributing their unique voice.

 

-SEA-PAH Board of Directors

 

Here is a link to our code of conduct for anybody who would like to review it:

July 2nd meeting

 

The SEA-PAH board of directors would like to thank everybody who attended our meeting on July 2nd regarding the events that occurred earlier this year. It was wonderful to see so many people engaged and asking questions. We would like to invite anyone to follow up with the SEA-PAH board about anything mentioned in the meeting. You are more than welcome to email us at board@seapah.org. While we hope we answered people’s questions, we are still available for any follow up inquiries. We hope that as a community we can now move forward as a stronger organization.  

 

New board members

 

After the meeting on July 2nd there was increased interest in joining the SEA-PAH board of directors. The board has decided to reopen applications and will accept any more applicants until 11:59 pm on Wednesday, July 10th. Afterwards we will move forward with the process of appointing new board members.  

 

If you’re still interested in volunteering, click the link and apply. And yes, you must be a SEA-PAH member with an active membership.

Dress code for venues

 

As per recent political events in Washington, venues are able to change their dress code to allow for more freedom. The following dress code is pertinent for our event venues:

The Cuff: Thong, Jockstraps and shirtless are all great! Genitals need to be covered.

CC’s: Patrons are free to express themselves with what they wear, or choose not to wear.

Wildrose: Tops and Bottoms please. 

 

This does not give anybody permission to perform inappropriate behavior at each venue. You can be asked to leave by the venue for violating their code of conduct. Please report any violations to venue staff first.

 

Events:

 

Underwear Auction

 

We're excited for the return of the SEA-PAH Underwear Auction fundraiser!

We have a pack of proud pups and handlers who are graciously donating the underwear off their tails (and butts) on July 13th during the mosh and silent auction.

They will be wearing the underwear throughout the mosh for you to get a good look at, talk to them about and then make your bids on. Please remember, no touching without consent! Drooling is allowed but not on the models.

Dungeons & Doggies | Saturday July 20th

 

Have you ever seen games like Dungeons & Dragons and wanted to play, but been too intimidated to learn or struggled to find a group? Well on Saturday, July 20th at 2:30pm meet up with Asher & other folks at Phoenix Comics and Games for a special tabletop afternoon! This month we are playing Dungeons & Dragons & Pathfinder 2nd Edition, so come by to create & then learn to play that character & the game in a short single session adventure!

The first hour of this event is dedicated to character creation, so if you have already made a character come by around 3:30-4pm to hop into a one-shot, or come by at 2:30pm to help people make characters or play short board games while you wait! Interested in being a GM? Send a message on Telegram to @AsherThePup & he can answer any questions or concerns and provide resources for the task.
 

Camp K9

 

(This is at the time of writing this email. Tent site reservations may sell out by the time it sends)

 

 

Time to get your tails on the trails, Camp K9 registration is open for all SEA-PAH members! Reserve your site and buy your tickets now before this mutt anticipated event sells out. SEA-PAH members get discounted tickets and priority registration over non-members. Members may book for non-members in their parties during this registration period since we'd hate to break you up, but it's a good time to encourage your friends to join us! Events like this are only possible because of your annual $30 membership fee, so please let us take a moment and thank you from the bottom of our paws for being part of our pack.

This year’s theme will be the hanky code! Members will select their hanky color after the opening ceremony, and that’s the team you’ll be on for the rest of the weekend! While this is the theme, please know we aren’t strictly following any hanky code guidelines and you are free to choose whatever color you like best. But they make a great conversation starter!

An admission ticket (member or non-member) will need to be purchased for each member of your party. Tickets will be checked at the gate. If, after you've done your initial reservation, you have additional people joining you they will need to purchase their own admission and state on the form your name and campsite number. We only have 150 tickets total and once they're gone that's it - the event is capped! Any more and we'll have the paw patrol shutting us down. Please note each tent site is allowed only one tent.

Camp K9 merchandise can also be purchased when registering. This includes camp K9 frisbees, pins, and T-shirts that we will tie dye at Camp. You can also make a donation to Lambert House while registering. 

Members can check their email for the registration link. Registration for non SEA-PAH members opens up on July 17th. You may view photos of the tent sites taken by the board of directors on our google drive. If you have any questions you can reach us at board@seapah.org.

F’ing precious 

 

F’ing Precious is an ageplay and petplay event hosted by the CSPC and sponsored by ABUniverse. Our next event is on August 4th! It starts at 7pm and goes until 11pm.

 

For the first two hours, enjoy “lights on'' fun upstairs, with non-sexual fun and activities like games, crafting, cuddling, and storytime. For the last two hours we’re “lights off” upstairs, and things can sexy. Downstairs is always “lights off,” and we’ll have mats set up for moshing and primal play, as well as BDSM furniture for sceneing and an aftercare area. Attendees can help themselves to free diaper samples from our friends at ABU!

 

You must be a member of the CSPC or a guest of a member to purchase tickets. (Members can bring two paying guests each.) Tickets are $25. For more details, and to buy tickets, click here.
