We've been busy enjoying the sunny weather and haven't posted in a while! Last weekend, Chris and I took a prolonged weekend trip to the Oregon coast. While the hotels we stayed in were pet-friendly, we opted not to bring Ellie because we knew that leaving her alone at the hotel while we go out would be no good. Because she is unfamiliar with new surroundings, I could foresee her crashing into everything and stressing herself out majorly.
So we headed over to Rover.com! I found a grad student dog sitter who was willing to stay at our apartment while we were away and it worked out well! Ellie didn't miss a beat and probably didn't really realize we ever left which was great!
Some pics from our trip:

| MASSIVE mussels attached to a big rock when the tide was out |

| We drove 20 miles into town (Pacific City) to get salt water taffy and found this at one of the candy shops! |
Looks like y'all had a great trip! I've never heard of Rover.com, but will definitely check into it for the next time the whole family goes on a trip!
ReplyDeleteWe've only gone on a "family" vacation once while I've had Riley and that was when she was like 6 months old. I boarded her at the vet, but I would much prefer having someone come stay at the house with her. Luckily, when I travel for trainings and conferences and such, my parents watch Riley.
Ellie looks pooped in that last pic!! :)
Yeah, I have no idea what's going on with Riley and all her joint issues...sigh. Hopefully someone can figure it out soon!

Sounds great. We were thinking about taking a long drive up there.
