My Discovery

I've done it! I've discovered the trick to dachshund-free vacations!

So the notion of travel depression has been covered here time and time again. No one likes to leave the sad eyes of a dachshund behind when they leave for a trip. It truly is a challenge to enjoy yourself during time away from the lovable little noodles as I'm sure many of you can vouch for.

During my San Diego trip though I managed to conquer my feelings of guilt and my pangs of longing for a little pooch to invade my personal space and demand my attention.

The answer?

PUPPY STUNT DOUBLES!




Available in almost any shape and size depending on how accommodating your host is, puppy stunt doubles are happy to get freakishly excited about your arrival as a new entity who can toss toys, snuggle and, in this case, make their hair look all disheveled much to the frustration of Mom and Dad.

Now I'm not saying I didn't miss MY pooches. I just hope to express how much easier it is to fill the puppy void when you at least have A dog present during your time away from your own. Seriously. It was awesome.

Miss you Tiny!

After being an ocean away from Simon since April, I am getting two puppy stunt doubles starting this weekend for a whole 7 days! :) I certainly need my hit. I have caught myself more than once resisting the urge to steal one at the park.
I will visiting Northern Ireland for the very first time, but I am most excited about playing with the PUPPIES!! :D

Amy - ugh, I couldn't imagine. I'm glad you're hanging in though and having such a wonderful adventure! Have you made it to Ireland before Northern Ireland? Galway is gorgeous if you can make it that far...

Angie - I couldn't handle the adorable tiny pup. SO cute.
