Stay-cation!
What’s up, kewligans! It’s always nice to get a break from your normal routine, even if it means not leaving town. Just taking a new way to the pool or home from day camp can brighten your spirits as you notice things you’ve never seen before. I occasionally do house and dog sitting in town and just looove. First of all, the doggies are precious. I mean, we get attached while I’m there. They start following me around and cuddling with me. I talk to them like they’re people. It’s to the point it’s really sad for me to leave them when the owners come back from their trip. See, when the owners go on a trip, I get my on mini-trip by staying at their house. Sometimes the houses are incredible & way kewl with tons of food, outdoor hot tubs and totally comfy beds. Sometimes the houses are pretty normal, but I still like it because it’s a house and I live in an apartment. This past week I was hanging out with Rupert, this awesome beagle/bassett hound mix. Rupert rocks! We had a good time together taking walks around the neighborhood, sitting in the sunny yard reading (well, I was reading, he was just smelling stuff) only to be distracted by the occasional hummingbird. Even though I have my same responsibilities while I’m there, it still feels like I’m on a little vacation. But I’m still in town & still living my life, so I call it a “stay-cation.” It’s just long enough for me to feel like I’m getting away from it all and to rejuvinate again. Most of the times the neighborhoods are quiet and peaceful, unlike mine. And the best part is that I get paid to take care of these doggies and stay in these nice houses! So if you’re feeling blah and stuck in a rut, even just spending the weekend at your friend’s house will lift your spirits because of the new surroundings - and being around your friend doesn’t hurt, either.
