I work graveyard and am on my feet for entire 8 hr shift (believe, me, I'm no spring chicken--heck, that phrase alone says it all!!) and when I get home, Piper bounces and darts and 'smiles' and wiggles and then allows me to change clothes, have coffee and then, come hell or high water, we're out the door for a long walk. Amazingly enough, it always rejuvenates me and we both enjoy it so...Well, the other day I came home sick, truly unable to take Piper out and was sure I'd be in for a long bout of demand barking, pestering, et al, but my precious little girl pretty much just decided it wasn't her day and slept with me all that day and night (always surprises me that girl does). What a little honey my Piper is...Today we got out for our usual stroll. Piper has been so good for me on so many levels and I love her beyond all reason. |
