Did you celebrate Pancake Day? As long as the dogs behave themselves and the owners keep a close eye on them, I don't have a problem with off-lead - but not everyone likes it. Wish I could do it with ours, but two out of the five would scarper and get themselves into mischief while the other three would be fine - can't let some off and not the others, though!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-85053256889042159562017-03-04T21:47:57.510-08:002017-03-04T21:47:57.510-08:00Twenty-five breakfast burritos is impressive!

Good practice! I see there is a lot of talk about food. Making your own tortillas is tedious as well, but I think you will be fine for a while, since they are readily available everywhere and I don't remember them being that expensive. Does Scott prefer flour or corn tortillas? Well-behaved dogs that can be restraint vocally should be allowed off leash. Some people just hate that thought, though, even when the dogs don't cause any harm or annoyance.

You said Scott loves breakfast burrito, we do something similar and that is whip an egg and then pour it into a pan like you are going to make an omelet when nearly cooked flip it and put some cheese on it, with a slice of ham and some salsa when melted put it on a tortilla and wrap. It's delicious too! :-)<br /><br />Dogs running loose, that is something that we have had to deal with at the park and the problem is that most dogs are well behaved but not everyone likes dogs so when they see one coming running up to them they get frightened and when people with ill-behaved dogs see this then they think they have the right to let their dog go loose. Unfortunately rules need to be follow even for good dogs. :-( Sounds like they need a doggie park at the marina.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.travelwithkevinandruth.com" rel="nofollow">www.travelwithkevinandruth.com</a>Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-27505578837539273822017-03-03T10:29:42.117-08:002017-03-03T10:29:42.117-08:00Cleaning winches was never my favorite.

They either flop down like they're dead or decide you're a tree and climb you -- with all claws out. Plus, how many people have you heard of being killed by a cat? So that's why it's leashes for dogs not cats. In March I wish a miracle would happen and I'd finish the 1st draft of my book. At my current pace, more likely end of April. *sigh*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.com
