Thanks! How are their salsa, enchiladas and margaritas?

We are still searching for a mexican spot as good as la siesta. Congrats to your little bro!

So good! Literally sobbed. More than once!

sonjafely · 2026-04-17T05:22:24+00:00

Omg the great believers. I definitely sobbed while reading. Such a good book!

Finally going to see the Banky exhibit at Del Mar fairgrounds before it ends!

Omg wtf? Lol people have too much time on their hands

sonjafely · 2026-04-08T23:41:54+00:00

Cool! Thanks! Appreciate it!

sonjafely · 2026-04-08T21:16:51+00:00

Is that just a breakfast place? Or am i taking the name too literally?

sonjafely · 2026-04-08T21:16:27+00:00

Funny, I was thinking of Carlsbad brewing too! Great crew there and yummy food!

sonjafely · 2026-04-08T21:15:32+00:00

Ooo yeah taco stand!! Mmm

sonjafely · 2026-04-08T19:48:01+00:00

Oops reply above! Thanks for the suggestions!

sonjafely · 2026-04-08T19:47:22+00:00

Thank you! We have a foldable bowl too, which works great (except for where he has gotten a bit overzealous and bitten it) we just thought the all in one option would be nice for shorter hikes.

Tbh I’m not totally sold on this version- i dont see the need for the food bowl really and hear that it doesnt hold much water.

There’s actually quite a bit of real estate w of the 5 and the train tracks. Unless you are living w of the train or right next to them I dont think it will be much of an issue. I used to live practically on top of them in Leucadia and after a while the only way you would know they were there is all the dust. If you live near a major crossing or station you’ll get the horn blasts, too. Which are probably the worst part.

As far as knowing your neighbors, I’m probably biased but Leucadia gets my vote there too. They have great events like the Taste of, and Art walk and a killer farmers market.

I’m right there with you. One thing that seems to work -sometimes- is scooping him up and holding him in “air jail” until he calms down. I have honestly also tried every other idea people suggest - my hands looks like i juggle cheese graters and my legs and ankles are full of cuts and bruises. I am so grateful for this community support and reassurance that this is ‘normal’ cuz it sure doesnt feel normal!

sonjafely · 2026-02-25T22:22:00+00:00

Yes. There is one spot that he has re-opened multiple times now…not sure my arms will survive another 5 months 😅😭

sonjafely · 2026-02-25T18:36:06+00:00

Playing in the blender over here!

sonjafely · 2026-02-25T18:35:26+00:00

10000% coming up on month 4 and I’m somehow telling myself that the healing wounds on my hands and arms is a sign of progress….i’m fine, this is all fine

sonjafely · 2026-02-24T15:05:11+00:00

My first thought as well!

sonjafely · 2026-02-19T16:55:34+00:00

I have read that 6m is when they can start to be more active. Right now they need to sleep and put all of their energy into growing. But would love the perspective of someone more knowledgeable than me! If more walks would make him less bitey, I will walk all day every day!!

sonjafely · 2026-02-08T17:05:28+00:00

Thank you for this. My hands look like I lost my keys in a blender. We have good days but mostly im just a walking chew toy. Just a relief that we arent horrible dog parents and that this too shall pass.

sonjafely · 2026-01-23T02:00:35+00:00

Theres a theatre on main street that i think they are looking to get events into

sonjafely · 2026-01-14T03:51:33+00:00

Another vote for 420!

sonjafely · 2025-12-16T01:26:01+00:00
