One of these days…  you’re gonna miss me honey……

Lulu Belle thinking

I was so busy with work today that I put the dogs in daycare so that they could have some fun, but boy do I miss them.  I keep thinking they are just outside and I have to stop myself from going to let them in.  After so many years I have gotten used to having dogs and cats around me all the time (and under foot).  There isn’t even a cat in the office today (they must be ticked off that I got rid of the dogs, so they are steering clear in case they are next.) I find that when you fill your life with animals it becomes weirdly quiet when they are not around.  I can not say that I like it.

I know I must be crazy to ship the dogs off to daycare and then sit around missing them.  My knees appreciate not having to run up and down the stairs a million times a day, up down, up down, in the door – out the door, in the door – out the door. Truthfully, the dogs are my only form of exercise; up and down the stairs and our 1 mile walk around the neighborhood.  I find that the dogs really help me push my body a little because if it wasn’t for them I would not be going outside in freezing weather or the heat of the summer.  They are my physical therapy.  I am sure my doctor is happy about that.

Come, Sofie! Good Girl.

Well, time to finish work and go get the babies. I love how they have to tell me all about their day at doggie daycare when they get in the car too!.  Just another DogDaz afternoon at the zoo. ❤
