So you haven’t heard from us in a while. I claimed we were alive and then disappeared again. I wanted to give you an update on where we have been.
I had the best of intentions of getting back to blogging. Taking care of my Grandparent’s house continued to occupy all of my time so that didn’t happen. If you have been following us on Facebook you know that I spent almost two months living away from home, clearing out the house and having an estate sale. Gretel lived with me while Chester stayed home to keep Daddy company.
We did manage to fit a couple of adventures in, although I had to miss several of the events I scheduled for the Adventureweiner Club of Seattle.
We went for a hike with the group and then hosted a Weiner-Q at our house afterward.
Gretel and I went for a hike to Glass Beach again to find more beach glass for my wedding favors.
I have been consulting, and remotely operating a Business Facebook Page, for a local, independent Seattle pet food store while over at my Grandparent’s house. Since I have been back in Seattle I have helped out with a couple of events at the store, acting as the official photographer and Facebook community promoter.
I started my own dog walking business. I already have three doggie clients. One of my personal goals was to walk more so this new venture is helping my health out too.
We went for another hike with the Adventureweiner Club yesterday. We only got a couple of pictures because it was raining. We posted them on our Facebook page.
Tomorrow I start packing for BlogPaws. We are leaving with our friends from It’s a Weinerful Life early Thursday morning and driving all of the way through to Salt Lake. We will be pulling into KOA in the evening just in time to put up our tent and pass out. We are super excited about the road trip!
I won’t be posting on the blog again for a few days but I assure you there will be plenty of updates from the road and from the BlogPaws conference itself. I will recap the whole trip here when we get back.
See you post event.

June 19, 2012 at 6:11 PMThanks Nola’s Mom 🙂 I can’t wait until I have time to check your blog out again. I miss you 🙂 I use a Nikon D80 with just the standard lens…although I recently got a 50 mm 1.4 portrait lens I am learning to use. None of the pictures in this post were taken with it though.

June 20, 2012 at 4:23 AMSuper cool to see you back in blogland…2 months of a lot to do…no wonder you couldn’t find time to post…that’s OK. I love that Glass Beach post…we have spent the passed 3 years going to beaches in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island looking for glass. It is a great outing and exercise even if you get a crick in your neck! Have a great trip to Salt Lake…now that would be a blast and 1/2!
Licks Sophie and Ron

June 20, 2012 at 6:01 PMWhen your life gets turned upside down, it often opens doors! Good to “see” you again. Especially love the pic of Gretel on the beach with the weathered posts and rock cairns!! Buster sends tail wags and kisses 🙂
