Crazy Dog Lady

My kids call me the “Crazy Dog Lady” and tonight I do believe I proved them right.  My best friend asked me if I would watch her 13 year old Golden Retriever “Roxy” while she went to

Poso Robles for a two day wine tasting adventure.  Not invited, but then that’s another story.

I said yes without hesitation.  The offer included staying at her adorable, quiet, pristine house with chilled wine in the refrigerator.  Since Roxy had been fed in the morning I didn’t need to be there until evening.  When I got there I gave Roxy her medicine, played with her a bit and sat down with my book and a glass of the chilled wine.  Guilt free reading, gotta love it.  

After an hour and a half I made the decision to go back home instead of spending the night at her house.  Not an easy decision but I have a wedding in one week in Beverly Hills and felt the need to be working instead of kicking back and relaxing.  But now the guilt sets in, what to do about leaving the dog?

I had a light bulb moment.  I decided to go lay down on the bed, Roxy followed me in and laid down on her rug.  When she started to snore I slowly crept out of the room, just like when my oldest daughter was 3 and I laid down with her so she would nap.  Did I mention that Roxy is deaf making me escape just a little bit easier.  She is none the wiser and I am home working, writing this blog and sleeping in my own bed.  Everybody is HAPPY!  We’ll see about spending the night tomorrow night.  

Not exactly a Creative Party Concept but definitely a Creative Concept, but just imagine if I was coordinating your event or wedding.  If I am this concerned about a dog imagine the attention you will get from me.

Talk to you again soon.
