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

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?

I have to keep it there otherwise the doodles will chew it to bits. I have actually been using it. the snow in the dog park is so packed down it's like a sheet of ice, so there is no chance that snow will accumulate on the ball, unless it's been a fresh snow.

Okay, I look like a giant banana. Or that is what my husband says. I work outside and wear a huge YELLOW coat while sporting a not as nice as yours, pair of Sorel Boots. You just need a really BRIGHT COAT. It will reflect some color and brighten your mood. How about a PEACH?

I agree with Joanne on the brightening up the outfit a little. Maybe add a nice fun pink scarf ... let those guys know there is a sweet little girl inside all that warm winter wear walking those adorable doodles. (Gotta say I love the boots also).
