I found out there was a new dog park in my area and was super excited this morning! It’s hard to find a good off-leash area for Bailey. So we took him out this afternoon for some doggy playtime. The park was really nice. It had a small dog area for dogs under 30 pounds and a bigger area for all dogs. The place even had pic-nic tables and benches, as well as water bowls for the pups. But… even with all that luxury, Bailey was not impressed. Not sure if it was because it was a new location, if he was just totally disinterested in dogs that were there, or if he was just being shy… which is totally not like him. Bailey is an active dog. He loves saying Hi to everyone and including everyone when he plays. He likes to run circles, tease and chase.

So we gave him some time to warm up to it… but no luck… and back to his old park we went. There is another park we usually take him to any chance we get. Though it isn’t exactly a closed off off-leash area for dogs, they got vast green grass fields. Right when we got there, he became his energetic happy self again. So maybe it’s the grass haha. The dog park had wood chip trails and play areas… we guess he’s not into that. Picky dog haha

Happy Bailey

Notice something different about me? Glasses! (duh.. what else lol). Since I’m working at a computer full time now, I figured I’d give my eyes a break from wearing contact lenses. Lenses can dry out your eyes, as well as trap in dust dirt germs, or even scratch the surface of your eyes! I wore lenses all through university and do admit, I didn’t take the best care when wearing them. I was a busy girl… overnighters at school would require me to wear them through the night. Eeek. So to relieve my eyes, I’m going to switch back to glasses for a while. Can’t really say how long I will last with this though… glasses always make me feel so not put together, tired and lazy for some reason haha. Anyways, since I invested time this morning to get “ready”, I thought I deserved to go picture crazy!

Oh yeah! My friend came back home to Vancouver, only to tell us that she’s going back to Japan again!!! Wow, I wish I was in her shoes lol. For the last year, she has been there on co-op in Osaka. And though I really wanted to come visit, I was stuck in school and had no savings for a trip. So right when I found out she was heading back, instant planning for a Japan trip!!! O.M.Gee seriously, my ultimate dream vacation is coming true. I’m totally done school this time around and was able to book off some vacay time from work! So plane tickets purchased and now it’s time to plan plan plan. Uber uber excited. I will go there and probably spend every dollar I’ve earned (lol okay no I won’t, but maybe…).

Here’s us. She’s so Japanized now!
