About
Last year I rescued a Lola and officially became a “dog person”. Like most dog owners I make lots of decisions with my pets’ care in mind. I obtain great joy from my time with my pet, she is like a member of my family and in-fact my favorite companion. Walking with Lola is a primal joy for me, especially when we can be off leash together in the woods somewhere away from traffic and hustle and bustle, here I’ve shared some of my favorite places.
A little more about me. I’m part of the “new world workforce” I guess you could say. I’ve been running my own business and technology consultancy for the past three and a half years. I work from my home office most of the time and I’m always plugged into the internet. Eighty percent of the time I make my living working with people and businesses through social media and visual communications. I often meet with colleagues that are in similar circumstance, they work from a home office or have very flexible schedules. We bring our dogs to work and schedule meetings around finding locations that can accommodate our companions. In New Hampshire that usually means food to-go and a picnic table, please feel to add to our list of dog-friendly places.
For the past year I’ve wished there was a place that I could “join”, where I’d get to know other dog-people like myself. Where I could have a cup of coffee and let Lola sit under the table while we talked. Somewhere I could go, on the too wet, too cold, too hot, too pollinated days and still be able to walk with her. Some place where I could know the other dog owners are as invested in their pets as I am with mine. For the past year I’ve been asking people where this place is or if I’m crazy for wanting it. I’m not crazy it just doesn’t exist yet. Lola Beans is my answer.
