The Sewing Mom

I’m just wondering if any of you who stop by my blog are as addicted to your computer as I am to mine? I swear, I can’t even walk past my desktop computer without checking on something online and if I’m sitting on my couch, my laptop is on my lap. I love Entrecard, it has increased my traffic significantly, but it has also fed my addiction. There are days when I am dragged out of the house, away from the internet and I feel guilty about it. For example, this Saturday I will be gone all day attending a softball tournament. I won’t be able to check on my blogs, respond to any comments or drop any EC’s (unless my daughter’s team is knocked out early). Now see, I shouldn’t have even had that thought! I think I’m in serious need of a rehab center quick!

Are you addicted to your computer?

We just finalized last minute plans to go to California for Thanksgiving.  We had been wanting to do this, but the flights were unavailable.  Must be a lot of trip cancellations or something because over the weekend we were able to find flights using my husband’s frequent flyer miles.  So, on Monday, the flights were booked.  That left me with less than 2 wees to find a kennel where Plinko could be boarded while we were gone.  We’ve never left her before, and she is truly pampered, can you tell?

So, I asked a friend and she gave me information on a wonderful pampered pooch kennel not too far from us.  I called them this morning and, to my amazement, they had availability over Thanksgiving!  I was so excited!  I made Plinko’s reservation immediately.

This kennel has dog “suites”, not cages.  Each suite has a bed and tiled floor.  During the day, the dogs are in playrooms, sectioned off according to their personality.  Each playroom has indoor/outdoor access and lots of toys.  They also have webcams so we’ll be able to log on and see our baby!

They’re a little pricey, but the price includes the food, play time (most of the day) and all the treats, including a treat filled kong at night.  These are all extras at other kennels, so really, by the time I add it all up, it’s not so bad.  I’m just relieved that I got her in and know she’ll be well cared for while we’re gone.
