Gloomy Gross Day

That's how I would describe my day! But other than the weather, all is well. And hey, rain sure beats snow if you ask me! Snow is soon to follow. And heck we already had some! Craziness.

So life has been decent lately. I still like my job for the most part. We added a new client recently that I have come to dread. The dogs are not in control at all and I think that they use the dog walking services as the dogs only outlet. It shows! I feel bad for the pups but also it sucks to deal with the frustration of dealing daily with untrained pups. Those kind of clients make me want a different job! But oh well. Maybe things will change.

I am excited for our upcoming Thanksgiving. We are going "camping" with some good friends and all 4 of our combined dogs. Should be interesting! When I say "camping" I mean staying in a nice cabin with all the amenities of modern life but in the woods. haha I think it sounds perfect! We will have a hot tub, camp fire pits, a grill, showers - I mean it's "camping" at it's finest. hehehe I am excited though, I want to bring some stuff along to work on nosework with all the pups. Should be fun for all involved! I am also thankful to be spending Thanksgiving with a fellow Vegetarian. I think that is a first for me! Our hubby's eat meat but at least her and I can split our veggie feast! Perfection.

I am spending this coming Saturday with our very own SB. Although she hasn't posted in awhile (hint hint) we are still hanging out regularly! I am excited for an overnight of girl time. She's good peeps.

Anyways - I thought I should write a post since it's been forever. When does Fredo come back? I miss that fella. Happy Wednesday peeps!

It sounds wonderful. Hope you had a ball. Now, I don't regret not getting
in touch at Dulles because I know you couldn't have.

Are you going Thanksgiving weekend?
comment by dragonflyby on Nov 20, 2011 7:18 AM ()
Yes, we leave Thursday morning. Here's to hoping traffic isn't a nightmare!

For the first time in 20 camping trips, I wasn't in a tent last Oct (in VT). It felt great! Enjoy and don't feel guilty!

the camping sounds great! that would be how I would like to camp. I have done the tent thing but I think I am too old to be sleeping on the ground.
I have been trying to work with my friends new dog, a pit bull mix. She is a loving dog but has her moments. she doesn't like when people are rough housing and she snapped at dakota twice already. any ideas?

define rough housing? I need to know a lot more details... email me on Facebook!

Have a good time, and speaking as someone who rents out vacation cabins, please pick up after your dogs and don't let them up on the furniture if they shed. I had a couple of bad experiences the summer with owners who swore they would do these things, but they didn't. So no more dog guests at my place.

Wow, I guess there are some people like that... we won't be doing that though. we are "city" folk who clean up after the pups!
reply by kristilyn3 on Nov 17, 2011 3:25 PM ()
I thought about charging more, but decided then the dog owners would figure they are paying me to pick up their dogs' poop, and would leave it lie. If I wanted to be a slave to dog poop, I would own a dog.
reply by troutbend on Nov 17, 2011 9:53 AM ()
We will def pick up after the pups, and they are charging $100 a day for us to have them there! ($25 per dog per day) so I think they have their expenses covered if they need them to be. Good idea on the furniture - hadn't thought about all the hair. I guess I am just used to it?

I'd like to make a comment about your idea of "camping" but people talk trash to me about doing it in a 30-foot self contained trailer. So, I'll be a gentleman, this time only. Have a great time!

I know it's not really camping, but it's camping Kristy style!
reply by kristilyn3 on Nov 17, 2011 7:04 AM ()
Now, if I were going camping, that's the way I would have to go. NO roughing it in the woods for me.

We are smart.
