First Round Is Going To The Dogs

In a way, we are – with our latest investment – dogvacay.com.  I’m happy to announce that @FirstRound has lead a seed round in Dogvacay.com – a community where you can have your dogs boarded in real home settings, not caged in a kennel.  While I’m not a pet owner (NYC apartments are not that dog friendly), I  know many of them – and they all feel guilty whenever they have to put the pet in a kennel.

Aaron Hirschhorn faced this same problem and decided to do something about it.  He has created a web site and community where people can sign up to allow dogs to be boarded in their homes, living in a far more friendly environment than the traditional kennel.  And the family’s that are boarding the dogs get to make new canine friends.  It’s even possible to board a dog for a weekend and show your kids what it really means to take good care of a pet. 

Dog Vacay vets (no pun intended) – (ok it was intended) all pet-sitters to make sure they have the experience and  ability to provided a loving temporary home. In addition, DV provides insurance, veterinary support, and a satisfaction guarantee,

What surprised us when we started looking at Aaron’s plan in detail was how large a market exists – over $5 billion per year.  And we always love coinvestors – in this case Mike Jones’ Science Ventures – that have real experience in consumer facing internet companies.

So if you’re a pet owner anywhere in the US or Canada , please check out www.dogvacay.com.

you read that review? even if fboeaock and myspace are similar “2.0 style social networks” you still couldn’t get two more different origins: one a Harvard undergad and his buddies, darling of silicon valley, with venture funding from the big boys in NoCal, including the same people who fund various defense dept spinoffs; the other a spam-marketing and porn-subsidized Socal fly-by night outfit desperate to steal a slice of the entertainment biz. I’m not talking about the people who use one or the other (and obviously all kinds of people use both) but just the origins of the two.But more to the point, 23andMe *already provides a social network for genetic data*. Go look… you can check out the demo site even if you don’t spit in a tube. If you did (spit in a tube), you could share your genome with me and we could spend hours superpoking each others alleles, or whatever.and “ethical social networks”? Really? Are there really such things? who is chattering?

this is corrie.becky, i'm SO glad you're ok. soduns freaky. so i did joshua as prxed except i'm no where near a 185# DL, so i did 115# which is good for me. my time was 33:25 and every once in a great while i'll focus on something greater than myself especially during the harder wods. today I thought about my sister-in-law's brother who just got diagnosed with brain cancer. it puts things into perspective pretty quick for me in my big whiney head. the pain of joshua suddenly didn't seem so bad. i'm grateful to have this community of people who are willing to be engaged in suffering. Suffering is what changes us, i'm convinced. Thanks for spurring me on. Keep it up CFGPers!

Our first IVF cycle was two years ago. We did it in Seattle so we were away from home. But it was the week of the summer Olympics so we got to watch all the etvnes as we progressed through our egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Talk about a nice distraction. I also rely on Friends when I need a fun distraction its light and funny, and keeps my mind off IF stuff. When we do our next IVF cycle (hopefully in the next 6 months), we plan to be in Seattle again, but we will have our son w/ us, so he will keep us occupied enough.Its the stupid in between IVF cycles that drives me crazy. I have taken up a lot of craft projects, which I find very therapeutic. But the driving force getting me through the waiting time right now is our home improvement projects. There are quite a few that absolutely have to get done before another baby comes along, so my goal is to complete them before our cycle even gets underway. Not only does it occupy my waiting time, but its rewarding to fix up my house. Oh, and I am also doing a half-marathon before our next cycle. Its on my bucket list.
