I don’t know about you, but some weeks it feels like no matter how far you think you are getting, you end up in the same place, This was suppose to be a quiet week at the zoo and I thought I could plow through work tasks, clean the house, take care of all the outside work, see some friends, but it has turned out to be anything but that. I know that I have been really busy, but I don’t think I am making any progress.
Everytime I finally get started with anything this week the dogs or cats are pestering me. I feel really bad because I wish the dogs would just settle down and not want to play and play and play. “Louise, Mommy has work to do, can’t you go play with Sofie in the back yard!” You know how well that works. I would think the dogs are over the we missed you so much thing already, but they are sooo needy. So it is up and down the stairs, inside and outside, snacks and treats. They are just wearing me out. And the cats, oh my goodness, I almost can not type this because Noel is in front of the screen chasing the cursor.
Maybe it is this head cold that I have and the animals want me to rest instead of work, I am not sure. But I really need to get something done. The truth is however that I should listen to the animals because they are wiser than me because they would never get stuck on life’s treadmill. They don’t worry about what they accomplished in the week, or the day, they just plain enjoy the moment. “OK, who has the TV remote? Enough with trying to get all this stuff done today. I am getting off the hamster wheel!”
Just another DogDaz morning at the zoo ❤

We hope you’re feeling better soon. Mumma says she knows exactly what you’re talking about and that sometimes her to do list grows while she sleeps. Maybe one of us should just eat her to do list then she wouldn’t have to worry about it? Bella & Beary xox

You are wise to know that the pets know best. We do! Take a break. Catch your breath. Get your strength back. And next thing you know you’ll get twice as much done in half the time.
Love and licks and savouring summer days,

There is so much to be learned from them, listen to them and listen to your heart. You are no good to anyone if you aren’t taking care of yourself. 🙂

Both comments are very true. I try to listen to the dogs – but Sofie does whine a lot – LOL

Yes – I am feeling much better because I listened and we all watched a marathon amount of TV and drank Tea.

You are so sweet to ask. Yes, I am very lucky. The cold, which I probably picked up on the plane from Australia, stayed in my head. An though still there, about a week later, it is minor. I eat 2000mg of Vitamin C and all my other good vitamins, to try to keep things moving along. Your concern is much appreciated.
