Yesterday was a really long day for me starting at 4am when my alarm went off. I was busy with clients working about a 14 hour day. I had a short break to come home let the dogs out grab some food only to leave again. By the time I got home I was exhausted and the LAST thing I wanted to do was take my 3 dogs for a walk at 8pm. I got home fed them had a bite to eat myself and was ready for bed. I let the dogs out (for what I thought was the time that day) and Daisy looked at her leash as I opened the door and gave me that look:) The look of hope........like its time.......for a walk........because we haven't had one today!
No not today I don't have the energy is what I felt like saying. But her wagging tail and perking ears kept looking at me with hope that I wan gonna grab the leashes. Then I felt really bad. I was close to denying my three dogs one of the best moments of their day.....the walk. So I grabbed the leashes and worked up enough energy to take them out for a walk. As we were walking they were in their bliss! Sniffing everything, Tigger and Spec peeing on everything, and trotting along without a care in the world. As we walked I started to feel better, more relaxed, and less stressed. I was thankful that I made the decision to take them walking. Thankful because it was good for them AND ME!
Everyone has days like I did. Days that they just want to come home and end your day. Don't forget about your dog. Force yourself take them for a walk. In the end it will be the best thing for both of you!
