So what if I am...

...a snob that is. No one has called me one but I feel like I'm being one when it comes to this city. I'm not sure why though. Well, I'll be honest, there is something to be said for a city where on every street corner, there is a liquor store AND a chiropractor, weird right? Ok and another thing, I wanted some wine the other night, well of course you cannot buy it at a grocery store, instead you have to go to a liquor store. So, I asked why and the answer I got was more info than I needed. The girl replies with, "Politics..." ok, I can deal with that although it doesn't make sense lol. Yet she continues, "...are you from the South?" "Yes, Texas," I reply. The short version of what followed is this...apparently because of the alcohol content of wine, it must be sold in liquor stores. The beer you buy in the grocery store is watered down, HOWEVER should you buy beer in a liquor store, it has the same amount of alcohol as, "[we] do in the South." Let me just say, I don't drink THAT often, but I found this interesting. It made me wonder though, is the coffee or soda I buy in a grocery store going to have the same amount of caffeine? If not, then, in my opinion, this state is pitiful...NO ONE needs to mess with my caffeine, it's uncalled for to say the least.

So far, I know where the Target, Walmart, Dillon's (aka Kroger), McAlister's Deli, um and McDonalds are. Yeah, no sign of Starbucks YET. However, let me explain, since being here, I haven't really been able to leave this damn hotel. Hero is making that difficult. Sure I could just leave BUT I'm not convinced he will be ok alone, he growls and does this whole "muffled bark" thing when I am here. If I'm gone and unable to control that issue, he would go full out screechy/barky/ANNOYING! (2 complaints against him and we're out) So, I'm stuck until Seam gets home and then it's the end of the day and I'm so spent on being BORED all day that I can't make a decision on where to go LOL. Take this afternoon for example, I drove around, literally JUST DROVE AROUND and ended up at the damn grocery store AGAIN. I bought a few things and came home. There is a Michael's just down the street, I said I'd be making crafts (yes I still plan to, hello Sept 22nd comes soon!) and I've yet to even get there LOL. I'm feeling a little lost here to say the least. Tomorrow we're planning to take Hero out with us somewhere, not sure where yet but SOMEWHERE.


Good things to come though, I can feel it...

Why don't you call a local vet and get some reccomendations on a place that does doggie day out. I don't know about Kansas, but I can drop Tater at Tailwaggers for the whole day for $20 and he LOVES it. It lets me spend the whole day doing something else without worrying about him stuck in the crate. (Sega doesn't have to be crated....she doesn't destroy things)

That is actually the next step in this process. I'm actually not worried about him destroying anything, it's his barking. As for doggie day care, the only issue is, he's not very well socialized with other dogs. He's not aggressive by any means BUT his behavior around other dogs suggests he's a threat, if that makes sense. I honestly believe he doesn't realize he's doing anything wrong. So yeah, next step socialization lol.

wellllllll.......I guess you're stuck in the hotel room for a few more weeks until it is cool enough to leave him in the car! J/K.....

Nahh, I'll leave him at home alone until we get a complaint. Of course, I'll make sure I'm always gone less than an hour, that is until I find a job. Hopefully the "doggie Prozac" kicks in, haha. Seriously.
