Back to the old grind

Back to work after our lovely vacation in the Santa Ynez Wine Country. Now to count down until our next vacation.

So how does the single dog lover deal with working a 9-5 (or 7-5) job? She surfs the internet and works on her book. I can't believe how much information there is on being a couple, and how little there is on being a single. Interesting. Why does the world think that I am only happy being 1/2 of a couple? Why can't I be 1/6 of a fur family?

Vacations (or a visit with the support group)

It's been a bit since our last posting. Work, school, and cleaning out litter boxes does not make for great literature. But the furkids and I just got back from a single dog lovers idea of the perfect vacation. A nice jaunt to the Greyhound Gathering in Solvang, California. A perfectly dog friendly town. They would have to be - over 200 people and over 100 dogs took over their town. Thank dog it rained, the smell of doggy doody would have overpowered us by Sunday.

In that lovely town, the girlies and I were welcomed, pampered, and fed to our hearts content. Many loveley things were purchased, and many lovely foods were eaten. But we, or rather they, are glad to be back in our own beds. A lesson learned for houndie lovers. While the single pet lover enjoys getting together with other pet lovers, the pets would rather stay in their own bed.

But my advice for all single dog lovers is to take a trip to Solvang for some weekend. You will love it, and they will welcome your houndies.
