Fur

Hey my little bundles of blog love

I am guest posting at Classy Career Girl today...
because I am both Classy,
and a Career girl...

if classy means I frequently wear pajamas
and Career means I sleep...

I joke.
sort of..



If you are new here and want to learn a little bit more about me
and my research/life abroad
go check out this post.


I did leave something out of my guest post though..
when leaving your life to live far away..

don't forget to bring a lock of fur from your pet who has to stay behind...

this is not a joke. and fret not. i finally washed the thermal. because clearly THAT is what you are concerned about in this photo....

No Bears were harmed in the retrieval of fur.

cue Judgment.


Bear the golden aka our love child.

  4. I would have begged and pleaded to bring my Astro. And, might I dare say, I probably would've stomped my feet and threw a tantrum until I got my way. That dog is my life (not exaggeration there!).

    I miss Bear too.

    That's all.

  9. You are a classy-career-rockstar!
    P.S. I will try and sell Portland better in my blogs. Gotta amp up my marketing skills. The weather needs to amp up the sunshine! Then we're good to go.

    Sincerely,
    Your little bundle of blog love, Bon Bon

    ps we never skyped. fail fail fail.

  15. It is so hard to leave a pet behind!! I love the fur idea. My goldendoodle has LOTS of excess fur as did my golden retriever. Even though my golden died two years ago, I still carry around her name tag from her collar on my key ring along with my car keys <3

  16. not sure about this lock of pet hair business, but i still like you. never fear.


    going to read your guest post now!

  17. UH! Thank the Lord you washed that thermal. How'd you know that's what I was thinking when I looked at that picture...not the fact that I thought you dyed your the ends of your hair bleach blonde or how odd and um, unique it was to cut dog hair and travel with it.

    Guess it's sorta like a rabbit's foot..sorta.

  18. hahaha. A lock of fur!! That, my friend, is quite hilarious. I can't believe you couldn't bring your doggie. HOW rude.
    I checked out your post on the other site and I really enjoyed it. I'm glad that you are really enjoying being immersed in the culture and world of where your staying abroad. My dream is to stay in Spain. I just love love love Spain and I speak a bit of ESPANOL as well.

    Oh and about the cheese sandwich. I can eat cheese I just didn't have any of the ingredients on me to make that sandwich which is why I said I could not have it. haha.

  21. You had to leave him behind? :(

    That is so sad. I left my cat at my parents, but I kind of knew I always would because he lived there for 12 years already. It still makes me miss him though.

    ReplyDelete

  26. Well, I can't judge you for this, because I would do it too. In fact I get weepy just thinking about having to leave him. SO, yeah... no judgement.

  31. This is hilarious. In a dog-lover to dog-lover kind of way. Ollie just got a bath and there is SO MUCH FUR coming off him now. And I read your guest post and am seriously jealous you know how to work the MRI.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I just love people who love their pets! Pet lover and proud of it. :) You need a bumper sticker.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Awe! Let's meet up. You can walk your pet and I can walk mine. Mine's a siamese cat. Who weighs 12 pounds. Is that cool?

    ReplyDelete
  34. gracie plus bear. LOVE.

    I'm even more obsessed with you after knowing you clipped bears hair.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Sweet? yes. Slightly strange? maybe a little. Totally endearing? definitely.

    I would expect nothing less of you, though, you kind-hearted and beautiful Bear-lover, you. xo

    ReplyDelete
  36. This is awesome. I must confess: I did immediately notice the thermal. Then the lock of hair. Haha.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Aww, this makes me want to snuggle my puppies even closer, I cannot imagine living away from them for that long! I was worried about the thermal, so thanks for qualifying that;-)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hey Megan...thank you for the lovely comment...I used to live in Sunny South Africa but I married and Englishman...so now its grey skies and green fields xxx

    ReplyDelete
  39. Alright, you've convinced me. I'm moving out of the US. I have to now. after reading your blog for over a month now and after that guest post you did, I have no choice but to pack up my things and head off.
    also, I decided that I'm way jealous of your life and you are so pretty.

    haha Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I already have to leave the puppy with my parents since we are going to Chicago this weekend and I AM SAD about it. I can't even imagine how much you miss you BIG baby!
