history: My wife has been in Europe for the past month for school.  I've been mostly alone since she left, as we only recently moved and I don't really know anyone outside of work. My wife went to Germany to attend a language course at the end of June.  I've been mostly spending time with my dogs while she's been gone since we recently moved and I don't really know anyone outside of work. you should take the dogs to a dog park after work and meet people!
current: That's a good idea.  I don't know where there's a dog park near me, I should look into that.
next: Definitely. I think even Waze app will tell you in you search 'around me'.
