Meet the Bloggers …
Posted by Rick - 20/10/05 at 12:10:58 pmWith Sarah working, and me not, I have become both Keeper of the Flat (aka House Husband) and de facto dog walker. I get up when Sarah does, and while she gets ready for work, I take the dogs out for their morning walk, feed them and then have breakfast with Sarah before she has to run. I take the dogs out individually, mostly because they are difficult for one person to control, but also because they seem to do their Duty faster when their colleague is not around. And with winter approaching, getting them to go quickly is a good idea.
Today I had the pleasure of running into two local bloggers while on the individual walks. When I was walking Haley I bumped into JDS, and later while walking Mickey I met Morgan. Both apparently recognized the dogs first and then asked me if I was the guy behind this website. I must admit I was surprised it took so long for us to run into other locals who maintain websites, but it was neat to run into two people 30 minutes, or so, apart.
Hopefully, with Cathy’s help, there will be an area meetup in the next month or so, but in the meantime, please feel free to stop me—and whatever dog I have in tow—and say hi. As JDS and Morgan can attest, none of us bite.

Sound like you are enjoying this phase of your life. However, I prefer to say that I “work inside the home”….;)

Yeah, but you have a real job, Steph. You’re a mommy.

Yeah, it was good to meet both Mick and you in-doggy and in-person, Rick.
In fact I had seen you out back behind City Hall over the weekend, but it looked like you were talking with some other people and also trying to get your *business* done (the dog’s that is); plus I was busy en route somewhere with little time to stop and chat on my end either.
In addition, I actually met Sarah and Haley briefly once (letting Haley smell my hand, but unsure if she took me as a friendly or not, so I decided not to push it; as I am sometimes a little careful with such, especially with dogs unknown to me), I guess it was just after you first moved to town, but before I knew you both were bloggers.
If you want to meet yet another local blogger Rick, if they are still holding a farmers market this coming Saturday and if he has his stand there anyway (he was there at the last two), if you see Bo of Eat More Kale — with his tent of tye-dye tee’s and other tee’s he makes and sells, make sure to introduce yourself.

Great to meet you, Rick. Sure it will happen again soon.
Keep those dogs warm.
