The Bark Park.

Yesterday was Dexter’s very first trip to the Bark Park. Being the unsocialized beast that he is, the moment we stepped out of the car he started barking. At the people...at the dogs…at whatever. Yet as soon as we got into the park, all barking stopped. Embarrassment averted! Woo! We took him off the leash to let him run free, but he preferred to stay near us. As dogs would come up and sniff him, he’d jog away. He’s apparently a little shy. I’m hoping if we are consistent in going he’ll relax a bit and have fun with the other dogs. Anyhow, I’d consider it a success considering he didn’t totally freak out and bark the entire time! Andrew also informed me that his next dog will be a wiener dog. Umm..no. He says he’ll just show up at home with it. Good luck, sweets.

Please notice Dex running away:

This weekend has been full of sunshine! After the bark park yesterday, Andrew and I headed to the beach. Soaked up some sun for a couple hours, then came home and had a wonderful BBQ. Today while Andrew golfed (with a coworkers boyfriend…I totally set him up on a man date! Hahaha), I went to my grandparents to float around in the pool and play dominoes. Which I totally dominated, by the way! I know I keep saying it, but life doesn’t get much better than that.

Other updates include:

• I’ve completed four weeks of full time work so far. Some days I like my job (like the day I got a massage) and other days..not so much (like the day I had to copy a HUGE medical chart with half front/back pages and half just front).
• My BIRTHDAY is on Wednesday! Festivities include (working..boo), going to the Yacht Club for dinner with the fam, painting some pottery at Color Me Mine on Friday, and maybe something else with another friend.
• Friday off work! Um, I think I’m more thrilled about that than I am about my birthday! Haha!
• We are currently dog sitting in our own house because my aunt/uncle/cousin are in Virginia. The house is a tad quiet without them!
• The old Maxima needed new tires, so she got some new shoes yesterday. It’s been quite the money pit this summer. Ouch. Hoping that slows down soon because we can’t afford this!
• LOVING endless amounts of fresh produce! Have to say, that’s one of the best parts of summer.
