Rat race vs dog sledge race

I've been thinking what is it that it has been putting me off London recently. And I think I know. London is all about rat race, fast and furious and work hard play hard. And I simply prefer slow and pleasurable. If there is any race I would consider, that would be dog sledge race or free gallop ride with my friends in countryside beautifull sourroundings. I prefer leafy jungle over overcrowded city jungle. In city jungle everyone is in a rush, annoyed by being late and often stepping on someone feet accidentally.. 

I had couple of days break away from this hectic place. It did good to me :) Although I had not enough sleep, I came back more relaxed! Amazing.

Am I doing it right?

Am I going in the right direction? Am I getting myself in the right place? And why is today such a weird nasty day?..  In overall, I'm in funny lethargic mood, have a flu, terrible cough and this and that.. just feel terrible. And my mum just told me she is coming over for Christmas! Well, why the hell not! Not like I had other plans, its just this was a bit of a surprise! Thats all. I don't mind, it will be nice to have family Christmas, more tradition and less of another kind of day off.. so She is coming over...

And - as I was writing it - I had a call - with a job offer! So, there IS something nice happening at the end of a day eventually! :) Nothing amazing, but - I wanted it. Job in my local pub (really great, trendy local place) so I'm gonna have close to work and - what's most important - I could get my dog asap!!! And, I will be able to get home for lunch and take him for a walk!
Cool, huh? :)

Now, I will have to speak to my current boss, to go part time.

Why am I doing this? Because I want to get my other dream to come true - yes, one of my bucket list dream, to have a dog and travel with him. This is first necessary step. Feels great, but also I am a bit nervous.

Grab every opportunity

"There will always be a little devil on your shoulder telling you that you can't do it, but you will have to find the confidence to overcome it" 
- said Mr. George Alagiah, famous british broadcaster to the audience of students during Speakers for School Week.

Also there more other smart saying like, Where is a will, there is a way. So - I decided to continue to purse my life challenge of happiness. As I wrote on my previous post, I want to do prove, firstable to myself, that I am able to do this, and to the whole world too, that some things ARE doable.

I wrote project about travelling with dogs. This was my childhood dream, to have my tv show where I travel to amazing places with my four legged friend and broadcast amazing stories about places and people I meet along the way.
My time is now. Its been within me for quite some time, and now I see opportunities, all I have to do, is size them right away, before they will go away!

That's why I sign up for crowdfunding website! I already done my written part, and now I am in the middle of preparing a presentation. Then, when when everythings will go nice with the plan - I will do my project!

Wish me luck!!!

Crowdfunding

do you know what this is? - I decided to take part in this and maybe, just maybe... - I will be able to get my other dream to come true!! :) the one about making document, or maybe even tv show about pros and cons about travels with dogs.

Samoyed dogs - I just got crazy about them!

They are soo cute. And not only cute but their character is great too. I mean that they can have a strong character ;)

mummy, mummy I wanna dog!

So, there is again "dog" subject.
Well, probably because I am a dog crazy ;) When I've still worked at my previous company I wrote a project for TV show about travelling with dogs. People in America seems to be all crazy about everything dog or pet related. But here, in UK things are slightly bit different. Not to mention my original home country. But I guess, each country has its own rights and demands. Travelling with dog - "Dog travels" - meant to be about me and my companion going across different parts of the world proving that it is doable. To prove all those who buy dogs and then leave them behind; some end up with friends or family, but some of them at shelters, which I think is absolutely unnecessary! Those people who gets dogs should not treat them as a toys but like a companions. Because from that point they will become permanent part of they lives. or good and bad.
So - in meantime I've lost that job and recently I found new one. And the dog subject doesn't want to get out of my head.

I owe it to one, very special dog, which was part of my life for some time.

Dred - Cao de serra de Aires (portuguese sheep dog)

Today I came up with an idea to ask google what, if any, are the options of possibility of taking your dog to work. For very long I was convinced that is completely impossible! It looks that I was wrong!! Amazing. I think that people sometimes don't try to find solutions and just take things for what they are.  Myself is the prime example. 8 years ago I left my dog. This terribly sad experience tear my heart apart and is the only thing I truly regret doing. But I was giving it in good hands and he had good life. (more story about this some other time)

Here are some links to the website I came across - I hope that they will inspire you and will help you to keep that amazing friendship with your dog all day long as you would like, at home and work. When I had Dred, my dog - I was travelling with him, even abroad, and I was taking him with me to my University for most of the time. Everyone loved him to bits!

This first link provides list of 10 top companies who let their employees bring them along, and I was completely surprised at what I read! Amazon, Google, Ben & Jerrys are all there!
