Doodle Update

I think we’ve mentioned it before, but to set the stage, Oxford St. is one of the busiest shopping streets in London (probably in the world). Oxford St. divides the Marylebone (north) and Mayfair (south) neighborhoods, and we live just north of Oxford St. – technically in Marylebone. Walking on or across Oxford St. can be quite painful, so we rarely venture south into Mayfair. Anyway, I mention all of this because this weekend we took the Dood to one of our favourite lunch spots – Rocket (where they have outside seating in a hard-to-find little alley). I had a work call in the middle of the day, so we were killing some time exploring Mayfair when we stumbled upon a small off leash park that’s 3 blocks from our flat (as another side note, as bad as the summer weather was, the fall has been really nice – except for a few days of very heavy rain). Tiff omitted it from the Italy post, but we came home to find that our roof had sprung a leak (again). I guess we had torrential rain and there was even a tornado that touched down somewhere. Our current solution is buckets and towels. Tiff said the dripping is like sleeping in a rainforest – my first thought was that it was like living in the projects.

Back to the park - I was very excited, Tiff was embarrassed that it took us 10 weeks to find it. Anyway, should be life changing for us – plus it’s right next to the U.S. Embassy so we now know where to go in case of an emergency.

Morgan made fast friends with a couple of pug puppies.

You could tell she was excited because that night she was acting rather impish – flipping her ear over her head and posing.

Smile!

I said SMILE!
