From New York

Mandy and I lived in my cousin’s apartment right in the middle of one of the greatest cities!  We were there 4 days, and had more than our handful of walking a dog, walking around, and shopping.  It was quite an adventure being in a small apartment with over sized furniture and a 6 month old puppy.  It was fun, but definitely a lot of hard work and walking. We had a great time and I really appreciate my cousin letting us stay at his place. It’s an awesome place and he’s got a great dog. It was super fun to be able to walk everywhere and have some really good local food…and pizza! We really had a good time and didn’t do too much site seeing other than go to the famous Apple store and I bought Mandy a Tiffany’s Dragon Fly Pendant.  Also Critchet and his fabulous girlfriend Gina drove up from the D.C. area to hang out and visit with us!  We had one hell of night on the town Thursday Night.

Over the past two months, Mandy has taken the dogs to Happy Paws Orlando for doggy day care.  I finally got the chance to visit this past Monday, and the amenities are awesome!  The dogs absolutely love it!

We’ve really taken advantage of it, even if we just leave the dogs for the day.  Hannah gets to swim, Marle gets to play with other dogs, and they come home exhausted!  It’s really worth it and I’m glad I finally got the chance to see the place myself!.  The owners Michael and Corrina are super nice and have done a phenomenal job with every detail.  I’ve spoken extensively to the owners and they have done 5 years of research traveling around the country visiting Pet Resorts and talking to pet owners of what they liked and did not like about the pet resorts they were going to.  They have really done their homework.  It shows in the quality of everything they do, between limiting the number of dogs, and cats (because too many becomes unsafe for everyone), and being able to have a web cam to watch your dog from the web.  It’s incredible the amount of effort to detail and service.  I highly recommend this place to anyone with a pet.  It’s good exercise and the grooming service they do is worth it.  Best of all the price is very reasonable!!

Bubba loves taking photos as you can see.

If you’ve noticed I’ve implemented the same gallery KMTTours.com is now using. It’s by NextGen Gallery, really bad ass plugin for Wordpress.

My neighbor had a yellow lab, Jasper, that I loved like he was my own.  He was a great dog, who was very well behaved, and listened very well.  After that point I was hooked and said I wanted a dog as well trained as Jasper.  I knew I wanted a yellow lab also, because of Jasper and because my cousin breed labs, and I really enjoyed their demeanor all around.  Ever since I got Hannah 4 years ago, from the very beginning I trained her.  I was strict like Kyle, and used lots of repetition and simple praise.  She has been a great treat and still listens very well.  After getting married Marle came into my life and he didn’t have much direction, but now he too listens well and they’re both easy to manage if you say what you mean.  I read this tumble log and saw this video.  Now I’m not sure what this guy did, but he’s got an amazing dog, you gotta check it out….

I’ve been wanting to have some of the themed parties I’ve written down, and the first one was, a doggy ice cream social.  So all our friends that had dogs came over and or babies, and we had a good ole barbeque, ice cream, and dog ice cream social.  Next party, Glassware Cocktail Party.
