Hey guys-ok, so this is so funny! I write my first blog about all that I have learned "on the hill"-and my friend Laura (who read the blog) pointed out to me that I spelled constituent wrong!!! I spelled it with a g. For some reason that cracked me up. Hey, no one is perfect!!!! :)

Moving on! Travis and I had such an awesome Sunday Funday~ We took our sweet Allie Mae to this amazing dog park! Its all these dogs running around getting in the lake, running up and down the trails-awesome! So we let Allie out of the car and we start walking down one of the trails and she literally does not move from our side. She doesn't run to another dog and say hello, run in the lake and swim-nothing. We were laughing so hard saying-go on Allie-go play! And the teasing Dad in me (it comes out)grabs Travis and we hide behind a tree when I saw an opportunity to get away from her. She turns around and this panic look takes her over and she is desperatley looking for us. I think its so hilarious that she is this timid (this 70 pound dog)!!! Travis told me I was mean and called her name and she ran so fast to him. (I was just glad to see her putting a little pep in her step). After some sweet coaching she was acting like every other dog there-or as much as she could. After about an hour at the park we went to Taverna (there is one in Dallas as well) and sat outside with Allie and had $1 mimosas and had a late lunch. Everyone in Austin takes their dogs everywhere regardless of size. As we were sitting on this cute patio we thought to ourselves we never would have tried to bring Allie to this restaurant in Dallas, but near us was a huge white poodle and two mid-size dogs tied to a post. It was the perfect day minus the lesbian couple making out and hugging all over each other the whole time. And don't get me wrong, I am all for hug and kiss whatever you want-anyone who is making out and hanging all over each other like that is never appetizing to anyone right?!? I kept having to start my sentences over because I was so distracted!!!! But like I said, other than that-it was the pefect Sunday Funday~
