TAN #191: IsTANT this a lot of fun? (Page 28)

Tall has it advantages....swimming is one

That's my other fear.  Jacked up rates and/or full occupancy.

I'm afraid that it's going to be travel and full time baby sitting/monitoring.  It could be fun, but I'm already with my apologies for pee on the carpets.  It's also Laguna Beach, so I could leave them outside most of the time as it's not that cold.

True and true.

The dog scene in that Will Smith movie still chokes me up.

Yeah, I would start making calls ASAP.  My brother-in-law kenneled his two dogs for a weekend when he married my sister (backyard wedding - keep the mutts outta the way) and I think it ran him like $200+.... but he has large dogs (mastiff and a boxer) so that may make a difference.

Taking the dogs with you isn't that bad of an idea - carpet can be cleaned, especially if it's been ScotchGuarded, but there is the additional stressor of whether or not all the dogs would even get along.  If they don't, that'll be a very stressful trip.

we are long, some say.

(It's a common basketball description - just saying)

I dunno.... it doesn't seem to help me much :p

Morning TAN!

Looks like that's the direction.  I will put them out every couple of hours and be ready to pay for carpet cleaning.  Plus if they sleep with us, they WON'T go for sure.

I have say, it's RARE to find a ornery Shih Tzu.  They ONLY time I have seen them get upset is when they see a cat, and that's still sort of playfull.  They love all people all dogs (at least mine do)  And their dog is completely oblivious to other dogs.  Loves people but pays no attention to other dogs.  So they will all get along great.

It could be fun, I never traveled with them before and they might like the new smells and sights of the beach.  But it just adds stress.

Yesterday was a hlaf hour row so I have no idea how "far" I ended up being.  I get to do 5 x 500m tomorrow morning with descending splits and 3:30 rest between.  It will be fun I am sure!

I am legend?  One I have actually seen, doesn't happen often.

I have always thought that I do everything well-ish, but nothing great.

What's that saying?  Jack of all trades, master at none?

heh heh, I said "jack"   maybe there IS something I am a master at? 

Yes, all my goals start out as personal ones.  The competition really is extraneous to that.

Ooooh Ouch! It's always fun when we row around Davis island ~ a 5 mile row.  about halfway through my left leg and butt cheek goes to sleep.  Then it starts waking back up when we are almost back to the dock.  The pins and neeldles thing is very disconcerting!

I hope that SI joint thing gets better for you.  My son was breech and used to kick me mostly in the left sciatic nerve.  It hasn't been the same since and that is the side that give me trouble most often.

Take care in the nasty weather.

We can drive it.  Not an issue.  Of course they could get car sick, but plan to take a rest stop after a couple hours.  It's only 4.5 from Vegas to Laguna.

Side note.  Maybe next week will get me off the snide...  Bringing my running gear, MAYBE my MTN bike, wetsuit, and golf clubs...

They should fit under the seat, 1 each, if you want to fly them.  That is how I got Curious home, in a carrier under the seat in front of me on Southwest.

Yeah, they are small enough.  I would have to drug them though.  My boy does NOT like being in a crate/bag/cage and will bark and bark.

One scary time, I had him in a crate over night because he was having toilet issues and I was trying to re-crate train him.

I went down stairs the next morning and the entire crate will covered with blood.  I almost freaked.  He tried so hard to get out, that he ripped his own claws off scraping at the gate to get out.
