I have to say, having a dog of our own is 100% more fulfilling than we could have imagined! We have been enjoying our time together so much and here are some highlights:<\/p>\n

\nShe’s just a big ol’ baby when she’s around Kevin!

\nShe LOVES her Loofah Dog…too bad one week later the dog’s head was ripped off! haha

\nOne of the funniest pictures yet!<\/p>\n

In our <\/span>neighborhood<\/a> about a 5 minute drive away is <\/span>McLaren Park<\/a>. This truly is a gem in the middle of nowhere! It has a lake, a dog play area, and great trails that make you feel like you’re in the middle of the forest. Kevin and I are thinking about becoming “Friends of McLaren Park” where people get together once a month to work on restoring the park and making it more family\/kid\/community friendly.<\/span>

\nOne of the best things we’ve found around our neighborhood is St. Mary’s Park<\/a>, a wonderful dog park about a 15 minute walk from our apartment. We’ve taken Lola both days this weekend and she has a BLAST as you can see in this video:<\/p>\n

Lola really has been a great dog this past week. She’s got “sit” and “stay” down pat. “Lay down” she knows most of the time, but a lot of time she flips her whole body to get a belly rub so we’re still working on that. There are a few things that we’ve got to work on with her: walking straight on a leash (she’s gotten better, but she doesn’t understand that concept and will sometimes walk right in front of us) and her motion\/car sickness! Even on short car rides, she has a tendency to get sick and throw up on the ride. \ud83d\ude41 So Kevin’s taking her to the vet this week to see if we can get her some doggy Dramamine for our 5-hour car ride we’ve got coming up this Wednesday for our camping trip! We’re keeping our fingers crossed that she’ll be okay! The last thing that happened was last night…she got sprayed by a skunk! So Kevin had to wake me up and we spent an hour trying to clean off the skunk oil before it dried on her. Her face still smells a bit, so we bought some de-skunking wash and are going to give her another bath today. So needless to say, Lola sure has kept us on our toes! <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
