A Walk Around the Blogs: WTH Are We Doing Inside? Edition

April 7, 2012 | Filed under: Round Ups and tagged with: borderblog, budgeting in the fun stuff, chronicles of cardigan, doggerel, frugal beautiful, pretty fluffy

It’s gorgeous here this weekend. I want to take this walk around the blogs with you all and then get out of the house to take my dogs to the dog park. I can’t let such lovely weather go to waste, so off we go.

You know it's spring when the Greyhounds start eating the grass

Over at Borderblog, they’ve been traveling. I love these pictures of Legend with the Sequoias. And I have to be honest, it makes me think that maybe, just maybe, when things settle down here (in a year or two), C and I may have to make one of our first family trips be to see the Sequoias and Redwoods.

Abby of Doggerel is sooo close to being able to have a dog of her own. And because she’s so good about being prepared and wanting to be the best dog mom ever, she’s already worrying about run-ins with off leash dogs. I agree it’s a good thing to think about, but also say don’t stress too much until you actually have your dog and know how he/she will react.

The Chronicles of Cardigan have also been enjoying some lovely weather. In fact, Dewi and Jon Farleigh recently had a chance to herd a child. Like most posts over at Chronicles, this just made me smile.

Speaking of gorgeous weather and giving your dog something to do outside, Pretty Fluffy gives us ideas for a doggie Easter Egg hunt.

And for some reason, Pretty Fluffy always make me think of Frugal Beautiful, which works out really well this week as Shannyn posted about Options for Dog Adoptions. Most people might think that pet and personal finance blogs have nothing in common, but they’d be oh so wrong.

And finally, I want to send a hug to Crystal over at Budgeting in the Fun Stuff, and hope my pet blogger friends will too. Last week, Crystal and her husband were super excited about adopting Oreo. But now they’ve had to return her to the shelter. She’s a sweet dog, but her separation anxiety was so severe, that they had no way to keep her safe when no one was home. I know this was a very difficult situation for Crystal, and I just want to offer her my support. Sometimes making the right decision for your family doesn’t feel like the right decision, but it is.

      Seattle finally decided it was spring on Friday. We've taken full advantage.

    I hope you enjoyed your time outside this weekend! It's been gorgeous here for the last three days, so we've been outside a lot, too. (Although, the corgis were eventually moved off of herding the kid – who had grown wise to the dogs' techniques – to chasing tennis balls. 😉 Thanks so much for mentioning us.

    What a sad situation for Oreo and her people. :*(

      Three dog park days in a row. Poor Howie was definitely exercised out this afternoon.

      oh, I just love dogs. I had a dog that sat in the window all day long–a lab. A chloacote lab. He just loved the sun. And he would sit behind the curtain just like Millie does. That picture reminds me of him. Miss him.Love your pictures, and your commentary at the end!

      It was a very good weekend. Hopefully the weather stayed nice "down under" for you.

    Thanks for the mention! I posted the whole story today. It was a rough decision to come to but we really ran out of options while we were out. Thanks for the support.

      I have a question , every time I coamnmd my dog to sit , he obeys and sits, but when I give him the treat he paws with one paw and won’t let me give him the treat , it’s like he wants to snatch it from my hand , I always have the treat firmly gripped with my thumb on top and my index holding the treat on the bottom so it won’t get snatched from my fingers, how do I get him to stop pawing me when I give him his reward? so I grab one paw so he won’t lift the other while praise him 4 the mean time

    It has been gorgeous outdoors here lately too. Today was one of those 'treasure' days. : )

      Our weekend was unbelievably gorgeous. All of Seattle just bloomed. I was so happy to be able to get outside every day.
