Well Tammy, maybe it is time for a change. In the words of Monty Python, "And Now, For Something Completely Different".

Why not try something you NEVER would have done otherwise?

Just a couple of suggestions. Why not try renting an RV, pack up the dogs with you and head out for someplace close by that you would never have gone to see.

Unless I'm mistaken, Blue Ridge, Smokey Mountain and Shenandoah Valley are near you. How about a leisurely cruise through them? The dogs would love it, and I have a feeling you might too.

If you don't know much about handling an RV, you could get a quick course from the dealer you rent it from, and there are always people in the campgrounds that can help---all you have to do is ask.

Or head for the shore and try a little surf fishing.

Or take a train excursion.

Or take a cruise. Something I always thought might be fun---you can book passage on freighters too if you are not in a big hurry. The articles I've seen about it gave me the impression that it is in fact, nothing at all like the idea that most people have of it being uncomfortable and spartan. The fellow that wrote the article that got me interested in it took a freighter because he could take his dog along at no extra cost.

Anyway---as I said, just suggestions---the point is, maybe you will find something that presses a button in you that has never been pressed before.

Good luck! I hope you find something. HEY! Why not come on out here? There's a lot to see and do around here, and Dixie and Riga always love to meet new people and dogs.
