Unusually Quiet Day

So, it's our second day back since the trip to California. Glindy is still glad enough to be home that her usual high-energy, rambunctious nature is being kept in check.

In the normal course of things, when we're home she's often running in and out all day long. She loves to sit on the back porch, watch the birds, and occasionally leap at the back fence to bark at the dog in the yard behind ours. Then she'll bark to come back in, and the routine will start all over again.

When she's had enough of sitting around the house, though, she'll usually run back and forth to the garage door, asking to be taken to day care so she can run and play with the other dogs. This is usually my cue that she's under-exercised, and that I need to get with the program if I want to fulfill her needs as well as my own.

Today, by comparison, she and Spencer (my other dog) are glad to sit outside quietly most of the time, and visit inside with me in a fairly relaxed way. Glindy's still settling back into her routine, though, so by tomorrow I expect she'll be reminding me that it's time to hop in the car for day care again.
