Recap of the last 2 weeks

After I got Bonzai I did a search on the internet to see if there were any dog clubs in Bakersfield that I could join since I had heard about different dog breed groups in Fresno. Well I found one, so myself and Bonzai are apart of a Pug Group in Bakersfield!!! Laugh if you would like I know that it sounds kinda crazy but I thought that it would be a great way to meet people and to also find out about all the good dog spots (vets, groomers, kennels, etc). Bonzai and I have lived in Bako less than a month and already he has been to a meetup at the small dog park (where he was surrounded by 24 other pugs) and a pug pool party!!! He is by far the smallest and youngest at this point!! All the pugs are so cute, kinda plump and their owners couldn't have been any nicer!!





Bonzai isn't that good at doing the doggie paddle yet, but he likes taking over the raft!


And when he's over the pool, he's over it!!

I took a few road trips over the last few weeks the first one being down south to spend time with my old roommate and to go to Disneyland for free on my birthday!! Then I just went this last weekend to camp on the beach in Pismo with some friends to celebrate a friend's birthday. Not to mention the 3 hour drives I have done to go home for things that got left behind in the move. I have had to do some paperwork, drug tests, and other stuff to prepare for my internship which luckily starts Monday woohoo!! I'm so excited to start working because I have been extremely lazy lately and unproductive. I'm definitely a schedule type of person and prefer to be on a schedule most of the time otherwise I just keep putting things off. Other than that I am enjoying life in Bako so far and eager to start work and get a paycheck!!

I finally made the move to Bakersfield as of July 5. The 3 hours of driving and unloading the Uhaul at 4pm in the sweltering heat was such a joy. Thankfully I had my mom there to help me unpack and decorate my new place and I had Bonzai there to entertain me and be a pest. He did not enjoy being put in his crate while we unloaded the Uhaul and he let me know by barking and howling (his new thing). I already felt as if I was going to be evicted my first day there due to my usually well behaved pup. As you can see from the pics Bonzai was quite a help in the unpacking process by climbing on top or into boxes and inside of cupboards!!

I actually really like my apartment, I mean it's no Dominion Courtyard Villa like in Fresno, but it's a decent size, in a nice area and close to pretty much everything I need. I have had to adjust to taking Bonzai outside on a leash everytime he needs to take care of business especially since I have had the luxury of just opening the sliding door into the backyard for him! I only got to spend two days at the apartment before heading back north to Modesto to bring my mom back but I'm actually looking forward to going back and enjoying having my own place, even if it is in Bakersfield!!
