I have gotten hooked on clothing and shopping lately. I am going to start doing some fashion blogging.
Here's my latest casual find:
Whole outfit is Nordstrom:
Top is super comfortable.

The jeans are NYDJ, which I am hooked on. I got these at Nordstrom Rack.
The shoes are Toms:
The black crochet.
Perfect for shopping at Nordstroms.... and doing errands.
I always feel bad when we have to travel because Dulce doesn't get much time off. Austin is nice, because there is at least one dog park that we've gone to that works out well for us, but it isn't the same as being at home.
I also have some very strict hotel rules, because I've suffered from people's lack of respect – she is never left in a room by herself – she never made any noise or bothered anyone when we lived in the apartment and besides, she's with me because I need an alert dog.
She had absolutely no accidents, which has been a concern, because she has eliminated twice in the ring doing agility lately. I think it is my stress.
The hotel helped by putting us as close to the grass as they could. We were two rooms from the elevator, and the elevator was close to the pool.
I was also really good at taking breaks during the day, almost every day but Thursday and Friday.
She alerted Sunday night and Monday night – probably because I spent some time in their pool. I didn't do that again, because I didn't want to take that chance. She also alerted on Friday during the day.
She whined once Thursday – letting me know that she needed out. Yes, I can honestly tell the difference between an alert whine and a I need out whine. Also no one else heard either whine.
Met Tara and Duchess finally. They apparently get denied access a lot which is sad, as she needs Duchess much more than I need Dulce.
I think I know why – first of all I'm older and have more presence – I am a 50 something, school teacher. I am not taking crap off of anyone. Plus I'm often limping. She's a cute, bubbly young adult. She doesn't look like she needs help.
There is also the dog difference. Dulce is a cute little beagle. Duchess is a cute, little Lab. Who outweighs Dulce by 4 times.
It's a shame really, because Duchess does much more than Dulce can because of her size.
I've only been denied access twice, now. Though in the early days did a lot more arguing (but won), then I do now.
Dulce and I have been at the Austin Hilton Airport all week.
I am on the State Textbook Committee and I have been doing whatever it is we do. I'm not sure what it is we do, but it sure is a lot of work.
She has been the perfect Diabetes Alert Dog. She had to wake me up the first two nights because my blood sugar was dropping to fast. Unfortunately we couldn't do any work on high, because we ended up eating too may carbs. Her, me and my table mates.
She has had absolutely no accidents. She has only whined she needed or wanted out, and only I heard her.
The hotel staff adored her and in fact, I made sure she had an opportunity to say good bye to her fans today.
No access issues at all.
We met Tara and Duchess which was quite fun.
I'm exhausted.
