Annual Pooch Plunge......

I just got on Facebook, a little while ago and saw something that made me smile---I was ever so happy.
My Grandson, was in the newspaper.
Yep, he is a Golden Retriever.....and not to brag, but, he is  oh so Handsome!
The kids got married this Summer and have moved to Missouri----and are finding things to do to meet new people, with similar interests, etc.
This was so adorable. A people and Pooch Pool party.
A really good way to meet people, from all walks of life and for business, is Meet-up.com.
There are some other really neat organizations that are set-up just for the purpose of helping you acclimate to your new town.
The area Chamber of Commerce, is a good place to start.
If the place has a Visitor's Bureau.....ditto.
I call both of these places when I intend to travel anywhere new or that I haven't been in a while and get the lowdown on where is good to stay.....etc.
It just requires striking up a conversation with the person who answers the phone to sometimes get the best answers to your questions.
I will be visiting soon---to see my sweet Pooch-boy---and his Parents and a sweet Titten-bear, also.
Can't imagine the reaction when the plunge includes human Grand kids----but I think the feeling will probably be much the same.
I love ANIMALS and respect them. I believe they truly become our Children/Grandchildren.
People who do not recognize this fact are sooooo missing out.
