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!
Running to help dogs. I run to keep myself sane, keep my dogs happy and to help shelter dogs. Please help me help the dogs at the Nevada SPCA by donating to Run For Fido. All the money goes to help keep the dogs physically and mentally stimulated. The money is used for equipment such as treadmills, and agility equipment. We also use money for training and socialization for the dogs that need it. https://www.razoo.com/story/Mld7af
