Lately our weekends have been one of two things. One being just sitting around the apartment and basically doing a whole lot of nothing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And we've both enjoyed it. But it's been quite some time since we actually went out and did anything aside from basic errands. The other being family stuff. Again, nothing wrong with that and I've enjoyed it a lot. But it's just the fact that it's been either one or the other with nothing in between for so long. We were overdue for just a day of doing random shit and just being out and about with one another without doing a specific errand.
We were both up and about earlier than we usually are on a Saturday. And while we were waking up Master asked me what I wanted to do. I suggested that we just go bumming around. He was cool with that. So after a little while we headed out.
We had been talking about possibly replacing a rug in the living room, so we went to a local store. Now, rather than doing what we normally do we actually just kind of walked around and browsed. We are the kind of people that if we go into a store we are there for specific things and we get those and get out. We don't look around.
We didn't find a rug we liked, but we did pick up some random stuff. We bought three DVDs and one of them is the director's cut of The Exorcist! *happy dance*
We had walked by some really kick ass men's t-shirts and I pointed out one to Master. He ended up finding two that He really liked and that were in His size. But, while we were in that section I found two shirts that I wanted. Yes, they are men's shirts. But they had some really kick ass designs on them and they had them in mediums. I was going to pass on it but Master told me to go ahead and get them. I was going to pass well, because they are guy shirts. But He pointed out that I wear His shirts all the time. True enough there. So we both got some really kick ass t-shirts today.
After we checked out we decided to go to a pet store down the street to see if they had a dog backpack. They had them.. and the kind we were looking for.. but there was no way we were going to pay what they were charging for them. No way in hell. So we passed on that. We did browse again but didn't find anything. We did get to see a very beautiful parrot though that immediately said hello to us when we walked past. He was adorable. Too bad we don't have $1,700 to buy him and then whatever a good cage would cost.
We came home after that and sat out on our porch with the mutt for about a half hour. It was getting close to dinner time so we tried to figure out what we wanted to eat. That's when we said fuck it and headed out to Applebee's. It's been an extremely long time since we went to a sit down restaurant as just the two of us. When we go out to eat it's normally with one or more people from His side of the family. It's just easier to get everyone together since we are all kind of scattered in three different counties. And when it's just the two of us it's just easier to either eat at home or get something delivered or go through drive-thru.
Dinner was so nice. The food was awesome, the service was amazing and we just had a really good time. After dinner we just came home and have been relaxing ever since. Later on tonight we plan on watching that porno we picked up yesterday. I'm a very, very happy girl today.
You may have your best luck with finding a dog backpack at a decent price if you look online. Also, if the pet stores you've checked are big chains, some independent pet stores are cheaper than the chains. That's harder to check online, but
ReplyDeleteMy guess is the reason that it sounds like you've found it easier to find saddle-bag type bags for the dog is that those are the ones I've most commonly seen used by working dogs. I'm not sure if I've ever even seen ones that looked like a regular backpack and I've done extensive research on assistance dogs for disabled people (I may eventually get one to assist me with tasks difficult to my disabilities, so I figure it can't hurt to learn about them now).
Hello Alyson. :-) The kind we are looking for is similar to an Outward Hound Quick Release Dog Backpack Blue. That is the one we saw yesterday but it was way too much at that store. We will most likely be searching on the internet for one rather than a store locally. Thank you for all of your suggestions! I wish you luck in finding the right assistance/therapy dog for you. And you're right, it never hurts to start doing research before hand.
