Sex and Weed in the City

Ah, what a relief to sit outside in the dark, without sun slowly roasting my body! Our trips to the park were moved to after dark since the heat season started. So this particular night we were sitting in our usual spot - the concrete planter that has been marked by dogs million of times and that has, therefore, lost its original color. I was thoroughly enjoying myself just by enhaling smells and sounds around me..but wait? did this park have skunks? You would think that if there were any, they would have long been extinguished by the dominating force here - dogs?
I turn to Dan, my husband to confirm that I truly am smelling skunk. "Do you smell skunk?" He smiles and points to the left where Great Big Dane a.ka. King owner is sitting, with a glass pipe in her hand. "And, mind you, it is the good stuff". The Great Big Dane lady is busy stuffing the pipe and taking a hit and I start thinking of the effects of second hand smoke. One of the guys sits right next to her - I wonder why! - for the love of Great Danes maybe? As if feeling San Francisco mood, my favorite Sharpei - Sheperd mix Cosmo starts climbing some young pitbull nearby...and there you have it - the whole movie scene - weed, sex and the city! This is where the nightlife begins people - in the dog park!
And why the smell of poor skunks have to become the symbol of something else??

Fashion in the City

Being responsible dog owners that we are, we got Scooter shoes with leather soles (I swear i would have gotten crocs if they could only made them for dogs) to protect his feet during hot weather. Scooter made his debut in the park the other day and received many compliments and amazed looks (such as "what the hell are you doing to this dog" and "is this for fashion or is it because it is hot" - how about you take a guess lady, it is 100 degrees out there). The result? Our dog is now recognized as fashionista since some time after the shoe debut, some lady came up to us and asked whether ours was the same dog in shoes the other day...The moral of the story? It is not important who you are (i.e. your breed, skin color, etc), but what your accessories are:)

Dog Park Diary begins

Since we got our dog Scooter, we have been frequenting dog parks almost every day. And almost every day I have come back from dog parks with comments and observations on both dogs and humans alike. My coworkers have heard quite a few of my ramblings and raves and one of them, Teresa, suggested I do a blog on my doggie park experiences.
So animal lovers out there - we start here, at this blog! I promise to share my rants with no reservations whatsoever and I hope to engage many of you into both meaninful and meaningless conversations.
Come on, people, you who are owned by dogs, lets drive to the park!

What can I swap

So I stumbled upon this great website called "Gimme the Stuff" - I looked through the list of countries and did not see Lithuania! I will be the first Lithuanian representative on the website even though I have been living in States for some time now.
The ideal swaps would be:
*anything handmade, especially from recycled materials;
*your favorite music compilations;
*folk music CD's from where you live;
*herbs and spices from where you live;
*nature pictures from where you live;
*whatever you may like to surprise me with!

Things and stuff I don't care for:
*cosmetics;
*nail polish;
*fashion magazines;

Stuff I can offer:
*Whatever you are looking for, I will try to find it! Especially stuff about and from Lithuania!
If not Lithuanian stuff, whatever you would like from Las Vegas.

Drop me a line at buzgutis@gmail.com and we will talk.

Cheers!
