Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Owney: Where I Go When My Parents are Out Gallivanting

By

My mom, Wendi, and my dad, Bobby, take a lot of trips. You might think it is because of Mom's blog, but really they've been doing this for as long as I've known them. Sometimes they are just day trips. Sometimes they are longer trips. I'm not sure why I don't get to go along with them. I mean I'm just a 25 pound dog. I don't take up too much space or anything. O.K. I will admit that I'm not the most obedient dog around. I will pull them when we walk. I also know they think I bark too much, but, … [Read more...]

Forrest Gump, Washington D.C. and Me

By

I love movies. Not all movies, but the ones I like, I have no problem watching over and over again. My husband, Bobby, often records movies from weekends when Dish Network runs specials in hopes that you will upgrade your package. On our DVR right now we have plenty of movies waiting to be watched that I have yet to see. I often select the ones I have already watched and enjoyed previously.

Honor is Evident at Pallotta Ford Lincoln in Wooster

Have you ever had such a great customer service experience that you just need to share?

When Bobby saw and heard Ashley's car, he got real nervous. It seemed to be his focus. He would tell me often, "Ashley needs … [Read more...]

Owney Says: A Celebration is in Order

By

I always find it funny when humans say that time flies. They look up and say things like, "I can't believe it is August already! Where did the summer go?" Or my favorite is when my grandpa, Bud, comments about how fast time goes the older he gets. It is true the guy is no spring chicken, but he still doesn't really understand how fast time goes for us dogs. See, I'm six years old (by birthday is in May). That makes me 42 years old in dog years, which is almost as old as my favorite uncle, … [Read more...]

Pink Floyd Tribute Band Comes From the Land Down Under

By

My wife, Wendi, and I recently went to The Australian Pink Floyd Show at the Goodyear Theater in Akron, Ohio. The band and the light show were absolutely amazing. Below, you can get a taste of the concert. Until the next full blog post here on Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot, enjoy a little bit of the concert. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCtDQDs7pAg … [Read more...]
