Having "Me" Time

Most days in the morning when I arrive at the office, I am greeted by the entrance by a certain guard who is always sitting watching everyone come and go, walking here and there.  Amidst all this hectic movement, he remains calm and ever so pleasant.  Such a pleasant start to the morning it is indeed to be greeted by this guard.  Who is it? It's our very own beiged coated dog with wagging tail and grinning muzzle whom I've nick-named "The Guard." I know not who the owner is, but he is a dog that knows no harm.  He watches those who enter and leave  and has a sleek and toned body that is a reflection of strength.  He's one active dog with a built of a soldier dog.  He stands straight, shoulders back and head raised towards the sky, his ears alert for the slightest disturbance. A guard he is, but a friendly one with a muzzle that makes him look like he's always grinning. He keeps out of people's way by sitting safely by the door...

This afternoon, Alex and I visited iTube for the first time.  We've just recently discovered this hidden secret, just recently opened, in the heart of the city and I have to say it is indeed a cool concept and one that I is appealing to dog lovers.  It's a place where you can imagine spending your Sunday afternoon chilling away in the comfort of a 1960's style house with coffee, cakes and a saline pool where dogs get centre stage.    It's not just a coffee shop, it's a place where dogs can swim and have fun.  Here, dogs can feel at home and run around as if they were the masters of the place. Upon first driving into Soi Promit, just off Sukhumvit 39, you are surrounded by a number of houses until you reach an apartment building.  Turn left and iTube is to your left.  It's hard to miss this 1960's house in its unique blue colour.  I love the large parking space and the lush garden that greets you up...
