A Day Off
All three dogs are at day care today.
I think all of us needed a day off. Glindy, especially, needed a
chance to get out of the house and run around like crazy.
Perhaps just as importantly, I needed a day off, too. While I love
my dogs dearly, their constant demands for attention and the
responsibility of ensuring that their needs are met throughout the
day can be very wearing.
I'm going to enjoy my day off. I don't know what I'll do with it
yet, but I'm taking great comfort in the fact that it won't involve
letting the dogs in and out all day long, or having a head thrust
under my hand for ear-scratching every time I pick up a book to
read.
Even so, I'll be glad when the dogs are home again. A house without
dogs seems so empty. A day off is nice, but the love of one's pack
is even better.
