Hi All. You've probably noticed that there haven't been any new posts since Christmas. I'm still here of course, but...I think I've lost my love for DIY blogging. I still LOVE to renovate rooms, refinish furniture, even crafts are still fun, but the process of filming, editing, and writing the blog posts to describe in detail what we did has become a chore instead of an enjoyable hobby. With both Tom & me working full time, we've always only been able to work on the house on weekends, so projects take a very long time to complete, so I was never posting on a regular basis. I didn't want to post something just for the sake of posting.
And as much as I do like DIY (I really do!), I want to spend more time with our dogs and working on their development, as well as spending more time outside our house - field trips, festivals - just discovering the beauty in our community, province, and country. Tom and I took a week off this summer and went somewhere new each day - sometimes with the dogs, sometimes without - and it was one of the best vacations we've ever had.
So on that note, I want to tell you about my new venture. I've started another blog, but this time my focus is going to be on dogs - my dogs, other people's dogs, dogs I've met, and dogs I've never met but wish I could. I'll be sharing dog-friendly adventures, training methods that I've tried (and maybe failed at), dog tech and accessories that can make your life easier, and any other dog-related topics that spring up. And of course there will be lots of photos of the dogs that come into my life.
I hope that you'll join me at I Have Plans With My Dog - that perfect response for the times when you don't want to go out - you just want to spend a little time with your best friend.
