Dear Dog Owners:

(by Kristin)
Some of you are great. Some of you, I am mad at and you are seriously buggin'. To mend our relationship, I have found the perfect product for you:


Yes!  A leash.  Not only a retractable leash, but one with a bag dispenser.  Now, I haven't had to look hard to notice that many of you have neither.  Yes, on my last run, 3 dogs ran right up to me.  (I can see that the owners are thinking, "Who doesn't love having a cute sweet dog like mine run up and sniff them??"  The answer is: many people.  I suggest waiting for the other person to invite the leashed dog over if they really want to pet them or to be sniffed.)  On my run with Suzy a vicious mutt came running and snarling at us from a neighboring home.  Yikes!  I had to pull out my old missionary trick and bend down like I was grabbing a rock.  Works like a charm most of the time. 

Don't get me wrong, people- I am a true dog lover too!  Just ask me about Missy, Cookie, Daisy and Sasha.  I love to pet and play with dogs just like you do, but I'll be darned if I want them tripping me while I'm running, barreling toward me for sniffing/jumping/growling purposes, or pooping in my path.  People!  Pick up the poop!  This means you will have to bring bags.  Yes, it's a little gross to pick up your dogs warm poo, but it's the law, and it's making the trails disgusting.

Well, I think I've made my point.  (In case you missed it- leashes and poop bags.)

Moving on, aren't the new Blogger editing changes nice, my fellow bloggers?  (If you don't have them yet, you have to change yours under Settings.)  Although I can't figure out how to use spell check or upload a video without going back to the old ways.  I've also added some random new widgets to the blog, but it's a work in progress, so bear with me.  
Yes, I had to confess to Matt this morning that I dreamed I was one of the contestants on the Bachelor.  But!  The guy's name was Matt.  It was me vs. Vienna and Ali, and I was way behind.  I had just joined the show and was plotting my plan, and texting "Matt" flirty things.  What a nerd!  I am so into the show though!  I am rooting for anyone but Vienna- she has a bad vibe, man.  And Jake's blinded by his sexual attraction to her, no mas.  See Erica's post on her HERE.  (My sister's friend.)

Lastly, I want some advice- what is up with my chronically tight calves?  Advice??

XOXO
