red mirror re-do.
I found a little mirror for a few dollars at an antique/consignment store here in town. I thought it was cute & had potential but it was a dirty off white.

Pet Suites.
When we went to the Bengals game a few weeks ago I looked into having Bentley in doggie day care for the day. I looked in the Cincinnati area because it's an almost 3 hour drive & I figured he'd rather spend the time in the car with us than locked up somewhere with strangers. I looked at several websites before contacting Pet Suites for more information. I'd never used boarding or day care for previous pets & this was obviously Bentley's first day care experience so we were a little nervous. Since he was adopted, I was afraid he would have anxiety over being locked in a kennel alone. Maybe it would remind him of his shelter days.
A representative from Pet Suites called me the same evening to confirm our stay & answer my questions. We didn't need reservations; we could drop him off any time. Day care was a flat rate of $19/day & they're open 7a.m. - 8 p.m. 7 days a week! You have to have proof of vaccinations & there are some requirements but one of the main reasons I liked Pet Suites is that the dog is still allowed a play time. With most places, the dog has group playtime & your dog must have a temper evaluation before he is allowed to participate, which is done in advance. At Pet Suites, they have individual play time so your dog can still get some fresh air & blow off some steam. (We were on a short time schedule & couldn't make two trips to Cincinnati for the eval - it wasn't that Bentley wouldn't pass.)
The location was easy to find & the place was super nice. Staff met us at the door, were very friendly, & were good with Bentley. He hadn't started obedience training yet so when they said, "Ok, we're ready for him!" we kind of laughed thinking they had no idea what they were getting into. He had potty breaks & they fed him dinner & they keep a chart on their pets so they can tell you if/when he pooped so you're ready for your 3 hour ride home.
Bentley appeared to have a good time. He was happy to see us, but didn't seem scared or to have any anxiety over the experience at all. There is also a Pet Suites in the Indy area, which will be convenient for us, especially for boarding if we're flying out of town. We will definitely use Pet Suites in the future!

Bengals vs Colts
We went to Cinci for the Bengals/Colts game. The weather was perfect! Sunny - a little windy - & low 70s. Perfect for an outdoor stadium! I love the atmosphere at Paul Brown & fitting in with all my Bengals fans. We took Bentley to doggie daycare in Cinci & he had a good time too.

DirecTv
We have finally made the switch & broken up with Comcast. I hate Comast. & that's an understatement.
I have had nothing but problems with them since I first signed up with them in 2009. I moved into my own apartment & set up my own account & got into an argument with them before my tv even worked! It all went down hill from there.
When I moved in here I was glad to cancel my account with them. T already had service with them & it was the same package that I had, but without a contract. We toyed with the idea of switching to satellite a few months ago but got into an argument with the lady from Dish Network who got pushy & T busted out his attorney attitude & she ended up hanging up on us.
We haven't talked much about it since... until our Comcast bill came for the month & they jacked up the cable $20/month (which they are technically allowed to do since we weren't under contract). To which I immediately told T we would not be paying.
Insert DirecTv. We have several friends who have DirecTv & are really happy. I was really excited about getting the NFL Sunday Ticket = all the games = I get to watch my Bengals play! We think we got a pretty sweet deal & we are super happy with it so far. T said when he returned our stuff to Comcast (in the DirecTv box) the lady said we would rethink our decision after our satellite went out with bad weather. I think she's a sore loser.
