I have more than one dog. My dogs are a Jack Russel named Bounty and a weiner named Snickers. I have been to France and Spain. I know Spannish and French. I like fancy ham. I know Spain has good ham. I own a show dog. I practice agility and tricks with my dog. My dog does many tricks. I don't have kids. I am not dating. I take part in dog shows. I love going to the beach. I went to a beach in Catalonia a few years ago, where I had the best Paella. I don't speak Portuguese, and my friend wants me to go to Portugal.
I had a BBQ. I have more than one child. I have a brother. My work involves lots of travel. I travel domestically primarily for work. I travel all week. I like to do things with the kids on weekends. I have 5 kids. My kids are in school. My kids ages at 12, 10, 9, 6 and 5. I have no pets. My kids need lots of attention. I have a brother who is married.  My brother's wife is a teacher. My brother wants to start a family.  My brother and his wife have a dog. I am going to Spain with my family on a trip. We cannot decide where to eat in Spain. I want to take my family to the beach in Spain. I think Portugal is accomodating to English speakers.
Have you had any luck deciding where to eat when in Spain? Not yet, maybe somewhere on the beach where my kids can run around while we eat.  Have you decided to go to Portugal? Yes! My friend will be meeting me in Lisbon and we're going to have catch up and sight see together. Have you narrowed down where you want to go in spain yet? How exciting!   I think we are going to Barcelona and maybe branch out from there.   I need to read some guide books!   How is your dog?  What happens to them when you travel? I recommend Valencia if you're thinking about the beach, it's not too far from Barcelona. I leave my dogs with my sister, who knows how to care for them properly. I once boarded them on a short trip and they both got kennel cough, and they had to sit out the rest of the dog shows that season. it was awful! Thank you for the advice!  I really appreciate it. I'm glad you can leave your dogs with someone you trust!  I used to have pets and also had a bad experience with boarding.   Have your dogs ever won any  awards at their dog shows? Bounty has won a few agility awards for running the course, and Snickers...well, Snickers is very sweet. Ha!  Cute:)   I am thinking of getting a dog since my children are getting older and can help more.  Any advice on how to start looking for a good breeder?  Or is a shelter best do you think? There are a lot of dogs in shelters that need homes, and i feel like a hypocrite for saying that since I got both of mine from breeders. I think it depends on your children and if they have any special needs that a special breed of dog can help with. Shelter dogs can be great, and the cost is certainly low, but sometimes they can come with some bad habits that you'll need to train out of them Ok thank makes total sense.  Maybe I should look for a younger shelter dog that may not have a lot of bad habits yet, but that still needs a home. I would really like to rescue an animal.    Have you been to any beaches lately?  Do you like to swim or surf?   I like the beach, but I never get in the water, lol. I think feeling the spray every once in a while is good enough for me. What do you like doing at the beach? I like sitting on a beach chair, reading a book and having a nice drink!    I usually just watch my kids play while I sit back and relax.
