Sorry Sign with Dogs from Hood River, Oregon and Sorry We've Missed You from All of Us

6/30/2016

Typist: Bethany
Where have the Cascadian Nomads been? This is a question we get asked a lot but lately it has been asked more about the absence of sharing our adventures here than about our actual adventures. Oh, we have still been adventuring. A lot. However, someone has been too busy with pet filled adventures and a new(ish) job to blog. And that someone is me. The job is wonderful. The adventures have been fantastic. It's just at the end of the work day all I want to do is close the computer instead of opening up my blog editor. Not that the blog hasn't been calling to me. Okay. It's been nagging me. I miss it! I miss my readers and my fellow bloggers. Back to my before I had a blog habits as a lurker, I have been keeping up with my favorite blogs, mostly in silence. And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I have a massive folder of drafted posts that I haven't polished to publish. I am sorry I have missed out on many months of Positive Reinforcement Pet Training Week. I am sorry I have a list of over two hundred blog post ideas, sharing pet friendly travel tips and recent trips, just sitting in a notes file. Most of all, despite all these apologies and my longing to blog again, I am sorry that I don't know when I will get back to regular blogging.

Sorry for the dusk photo failure.

The new job is fun, challenging, and allows for an extremely flexible schedule. It is the perfect job for someone with my level of wanderlust. I can work remotely or take time off to travel with only the limit of needing to make up as many missed hours as possible. With some of the trips I have had so far this year, working remotely was not an option so I have worked a whole lot of extra hours when I am at home. And it is exhausting! All I want to do when I finish working is close my laptop and spend time with my pets. I am absolutely not sorry for that!

So, fear not, Cascadian Nomads fans, followers, and friends. We are fine, we are having fun, and we will be back. All of the Cascadian Nomads take great pride in inspiring pet friendly wanderlust and encouraging outdoor adventures for all pets. Leo loves gazing out at new vistas. Amelia enjoys exploring new terrain. Huxley can't make enough new friends. Brychwyn always wants to travel an extra mile or more. Wilhelm will never stop finding new places to sniff then snooze. Jason and I want to photograph every second of all of it and I constantly crave sharing it all here with you. We all love this blog. We all love you. Thank you for wondering where we have been. Don't stop wondering! Don't stop asking! Don't be sorry! The Cascadian Nomads will be sharing where we have been again very soon.

I have almost 100 blog post ideas waiting to be "hatched" too. I planned to write 4 blog posts a week but I've barely been making 1 so some will get pushed to next year. I am sure your ideas could be saved for next year too when you, hopefully, have more time. Congrats on the new-ish job :)

I'm glad to here that all is well in your world. I've missed reading about your adventures! Congratulations on the job--it sounds wonderful! I'll look forward to reading about the rest of these things whenever you have the time and energy to open up the computer again!

Sometimes it's not until someone pops back up that you really focus on them being gone! I've had lots of job-related changes as well so my blogging got a bit derailed, too. My following of favorite blogs definitely took a hit. Just no time, no time....so I totally get where you are coming from!

I have been so self-absorbed, I missed missing you! I am sorry for that because I love reading about your adventures and I (obviously) have not done so in a while. Just glad that all is well and this is a purposeful break. I completely understand. Maybe (just every now and then) you could share some of your beautiful photography without the worry of words. No matter, we will wait. Enjoy!

I am glad that you are all okay and are still having fun! I've been meaning to write you with our big news...we are moving to the Olympia area soon. Hopefully, we can get together. ☺

I didn't know your blog, but when I saw this picture of the cutest dogs ever, it really made me want to read more of it! Great website :)

I'm glad all is well with you. I haven't been blogging much in recent months either because of life getting in the way.

Can't say I've seen too many pet adventure blogs, love the idea! Hope you're off on some good adventures lately.
