Santa Ynez Get-Away

This last weekend we had a nice little get-away, Charlie and me, and of course, Lily, joining my parents and my aunt and uncle on their vineyard in the Santa Ynez valley. It’s a little bit of heaven a few hours out of LA. Lots of good food, good wine, good conversation and lots of fresh air for a little boy and a dog that almost don’t know what to do with that much space!

This does not look like LA…

Nope. Definitely doesn’t sound like LA either…

No more chasing rabbits and lizards
Through rows of vineyards.
No more lamby-bones on the porch after dinner
While humans tell stories and sip wines like a winner.

That is until next time.
For now I’m happy to be
My boy’s companion and friend.
I’ll trade the country-dog life for city-dog again.

And be a vegetarian in an apartment in the city.
Back to… the Daily Lily.”

-Lily, the rescue-dog
