I work graveyard, stand for 8 hr/night; quite often at the end of a shift, not only am I tired physically, but mentally as well--and my head and feet hurt and I'm just blahhhh. Upon getting home, instead of collapsing (as I used to do), Piper graciously allows me a 20 minute decompression period, after which it's off to the races (that terrier trot is unceasing, unflagging and unbelievably quick, yes?!). There's never been a time that I haven't felt better, in fact, just fine, at the completion of our 20-30 minute walk. Who knew such a little Yorkie package would be filled with so many, priceless gifts?! |
