We occasionally take a minute to breathe.  we wonder how people with kids do it all.  We feel terrible for not taking the dogs anywhere so we can’t imagine how parents have the energy to do it all.  On this day, we decided the stroller originally intended for Jazzy before she passed away, would be the perfect tool to take the girls for a quick outing.

The problem with them, is that they are not around people a lot…so their manners are in need of a tune up.  They feed of of one another, so if one barks at another dog, so does the other.  By zipping them up in the stroller, we hope they can get used to seeing the world without barking at anything they see! Eventually they can graduate to their leashes. In our neighborhood, that’s how we roll but for a real outing, this seems to be the easiest way to start!

A lady walked by with a huge dog and these girls went crazy.  Jazzy would just avoid looking at anything unpleasant and never barked, so they would follow her lead. Now I just have crazy and not quite as crazy feeding off of each others kookoo vibes.

We still love them!  Although I do need to work on my ill behaved babies!  The story of how I ended up being only a dogmom is kind of funny, and was never my intent. However, we absolutely love our home life and plan on adopting another little furry soul when the right one comes along! I think I will post a video on this topic soon, because I am trying to post more videos. Pictures do not easily tell the tale and people really like videos as opposed to reading.

My eyes were watering like crazy from allergies, but I discovered Flonase this week! It really helps!

I’ve been severely sleep deprived all year from a neck issue so my husband said I look like I’m in pain most of the time, and in a lot of photos.  I am, but I try to hide it or not think about it. My blog is supposed to be my happy place, so I never mention it.  I saw a blogger years ago, who was ill…and she mentioned it in every single post. I don’t want to be that person. I also do not want to ever be a pill zombie so I work hard to do what I can outside of that. I guess i am explaining why I often crop off my head!  Honestly, it’s about the fun of clothing anyway so my sometimes tired, sleep deprived face doesn’t need to be seen unless we are showing makeup or lashes or making a video!

#DOGCATION

Somehow I find myself a dogmom to three furry little souls.  Three dogs is just a lot of dogs. Way more than only two.  It’s always a hassle to leave for a quick weekend jaunt due to having to line up a sitter for the girls.  Because of this, we decided to take a Dogcation.  Basically, we wanted to go somewhere in which we could take all three.

Since Jazzy can’t walk too far at once,  I thought I should try buying a dog stroller for her. Luckily, all three can ride together when in a pinch!  The stroller mesh zips shut, so it then becomes sort of a dog carrier for those times you want to walk peacefully through a hotel lobby or sneak them into a mall.

We decided on a quick road trip to Corpus Christi, Texas!  I found a hotel there that welcomes small dogs. These are a few shots from our Dogcation! Don’t judge, because of course a few are just cell phone shots;

2.  Coastline View   The view from our hotel was amazing.  This cute little harbor area was across the street along the boardwalk.

3.  Bird Lover.   I am crazy about birds for some reason so Ken and the dogs waiting patiently as we stopped here and there to take bird shots.

6.  THE OMNI HOTEL.  We were super casual during this 3 day jaunt, but there was one night for an amazing romantic dinner without the girls!  The Omni has amazing food and even a great Breakfast Buffet.  We we super impressed with the food and the view from their steakhouse!

7.  USS LEXINGTON  This was by far the best part of the trip!  There is a one hour informational movie on board the retired ship, that really explains how important our Navy is.  They keep America safe.  The tour reignited my respect and appreciation for all of our military.

8.  DOG STROLLER JOY   This silly dog stroller I bought has brought the girls so much joy!  Initially, it was thought it would just be a Jazzy Transport Device, but everyone loves cramming in there for a ride.  It’s good for Blanca at times because as pretty as she looks, she’s every bit as antagonistic and always looking for a fight with other dogs, no matter how big.  So for times when there’s a lot of other people or dogs, it’s easy to zip her shut in there so she doesn’t cause a scene!
