When BF and I settled on Pittsburgh, we also discussed bringing my dog with us. After that was settled, I set out to find a dog-friendly B&B (BF and I try to stay at bed & breakfasts, small/owner operated, help out small business and they’re usually a lot more fun, if more expensive). A quick Google search turned up a few that looked interesting, but putting in our dates knocked out a few… then I came across The Parador Inn. Though the site said nothing about being pet-friendly, I’d found it by searching ‘pet friendly bed breakfast Pittsburgh’ so I quickly [...]

The next morning, after a hearty breakfast at our bed&breakfast, we decided to wander around various districts in Pittsburgh. A quick bit of searching found us in the South Side district, because I realized it was mostly an outdoors shopping strip, and… I didn’t tell you? We had Keywee with us. Our first road trip with my dog. (His is still too young to bring in the car for such a long ride… she was remarkably good, we put her bed in the backseat but she mostly chose to sleep on my lap. I think she was confused initially as [...]

This past Sunday, I actually woke up at 9 am, knowing I had a lot of stuff I wanted to do at a leisurely pace. I am thrilled to report that I managed to check off all 12 items on my To Do list, and still spend time with my boyfriend (and my dog, who, as you can see, wasn’t [...]

I kind of hate the term, but since someone else coined it, whatever: I took all of last week off from work in order to take care of some personal business. Taking vacation from work but not going anywhere is called “Stay-cation” now… Honestly, it feels weird to not go anywhere, but I am trying to save money, so it made sense. Even though I still went out… as the pictures will show! Friday, June 20, lunch: Exactly the reason I avoided street meat for so long. Yes, I had a tummy ache later. This awful place on Water and [...]
