“Where can I adopt a dog from? What are some good dog groomers? Do you know of any good veterinarians? Where can I board my dog?” These are common questions I get from my Arizona friends, so I’ve put together a list of my recommendations for you! (And if you live outside of Arizona this list may give you some ideas as to where to look for these services.)
Dog Mom Life: Bathroom Redesign, Killer Ants and Backyard Bonding
We’ve officially lived in our new house for one week, and it’s been a crazy one. A blur, really. Although I’m trying to enjoy it, Matt and I have been hard at work so we can get everything unpacked and looking nice before he starts his new job on July 18th. We are heading to our CA this coming weekend for a wedding so we’ll be losing time. On top of that, we have to get our old house cleaned up before the end of the month. AHHHH! I’ve been wanting to pull my hair out but it’s been so worth it. So, what’s new with the house? Matt and I got the den and guest bathroom painted, I did four hours of yard work this morning and my kids are settling in nicely!
The Countdown To BlogPaws Is On!
We’re about a month out from BlogPaws. Can you believe how quickly this year is going by? It’s already the end of May. We are almost halfway through the year! With that being said, it’s not too late to buy a ticket to BlogPaws. Here’s an update on everything that’s going on as we countdown the days to the conference.
Chase Field to Become the First Dog-Friendly MLB Ballpark in the U.S.
This is super big news. Well, for me at least. I’ve been a HUGE Arizona Diamondbacks fan since I was 13 years old. I watch every game of every season. I’ve been to playoff games, too many spring training games and have waited long hours for player autographs. Two years ago, Matt and I took Wynston to “Bark in the Park,” a dog friendly baseball game at the D-back’s Chase Field. The proceeds benefited the AAWL and we had a designated area to sit during the game. It was amazing. I just wished that I could take Wynston to a game whenever I want – and that dream just came true.
The Dog Friendly Monument Peak Loop Trail in Payson, AZ
So, let’s recap. January has been flippin’ nuts. My brother came home on leave from the Army, Matt and I got engaged, we booked our wedding venue, I attended the bridal expo and bought my dress, I had some dental work done, we bought a new SUV and I announced my BlogPaws Ambassador & Speaker news. After an insanely crazy last week of January, I decided I deserved a day of fun! Since Matt and I just bought a brand new Subaru Forester, we decided to head up north to Payson, AZ for a day of hiking with the pups! Our destination: Monument Peak Loop Trail.
