Ok, THAT'S IT! I've had it! Time for a VACATION! With Photo update

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

One word for you - Winter. Blah!

I'm tired of the winter boots and cold toes and soggy mittens, 30 layers of clothing, taking 20 minutes to get me and the doodles geared up for a simple walk, and cleaning up after wet doodles and standing in the dog park throwing a ball when it's -20 and going out for a potty break at 11pm when it's -25 and I was already in my pajamas, and scraping ice off my car and traipsing through big dirty slushy puddles and picking up poop in the snow and all of it. One day it's -25 and everything turns to ice and the next it's -4 and everything turns to slush. I just had to remove my gloves and use them to clean off the salt that was burning Winston's feet and making him refuse to walk. I actually put my gloves on his feet like boots so that we can make it the rest of the way home. I thought I was going to get frost bite.

I've had it! It's time to cash in those vacation days and head south!

During the winter months I get SAD. No, not the emotion, the disorder. Seasonal Affective Disorder. It's real, I promise you. And thanks to the cold weather and lack of sunlight, I am one unhappy chick right now. All the vitamin D in the world isn't going to snap me outta this winter funk.

I don't have much money, but unless someone can tell me of a really good, but really cheap, doggie friendly vacation spot down south where I can drive my doodles to, then I might just have to splurge on a week in Cuba. All I know is that I need to get out of this cold dark icy, then slushy, then icy again, dreary city and all the stupid frustrating rigamorale that goes with winter and soak up some sunshine!

BLAH! ok, rant over. seriously, any suggestions for doodle friendly vacation spots down south?

**** And another thing! How's a girl supposed to snag a guy when she looks like this?

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

lol. your mom is welcome to come to Cuba and drink rum with me.

One thing for sure until you figure out where you can go...get some Muttluks for the Doodles feet!!!! 

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

I have them. I just forgot to put the on :(

I totally agree about winter and it is not nearly as cold here!  Give me sunshine and heat any day!

[Camilla and Darwin]

I am feeling lucky since it's been mild here and not much snow. If I was going to go to a warmer vacation spot I would go to Carmel Beach CA! I have heard it's really dog friendly, I've wanted to go for a long time.

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

too far to drive. I need something a little more east. But yea, if I could get there it would a great idea.

[Bonnie and Kona]

Carmel Beach is perfectly do friendly... no leashes! It is beautiful and sometimes in February it warms up to the 70's. I used to take my kids out of school and go to the beach once a year in February. We live about 2 hours away and I love the beach.

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

ugh. don't rub it in!! I was actually there once a long time ago. I barely remember it.

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

wherever you go, Im coming with you! I know JUST how you feel. How are we supposed to acclimatize to the cold when the temperature keeps bouncing around???

[Sherri, Sophie, Winston, & Kitty]

Kaytlin, pack up Cooper and the Kitties - let's go to Florida!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Sorry Sherri! It does sound awful! I used to live in a place with similar winter weather and OMD!!! I hated walking my dog in blizzard conditions! :(

Can you drive to Oregon? How about this place?
