It's a beautiful morning in my little world. At daybreak it looked like it was going to storm but after I took Auggie for quick walk the skies started to part and the sun is now peeking through. The excitement is that even though it's fairly humid this morning the extra Naproxyn I have been taking is kicking in and I can fit most of my rings and my regular shoes on!!! I have to laugh that I got so excited about it. I can't imagine my sisters getting so excited about such a little thing. I think we just take such small things for granted until they are gone.
Speaking of getting excited, Auggie was super excited to go for a walk this morning. I have to say, since we moved in last October I had gotten away from walking them/him. We wanted a fenced yard so they could go out and run and play whenever they wanted and we got it. For a few weeks after we lost Miss Harley in November, Auggie and I would take long walks just so we could "talk". I would talk to him about how she was feeling better now that she was gone and how he would be okay. I *think* it helped both of us with the grief. Eventually I went into flare and that was the end of that. This weekend I realized that there's no reason not to take him at least for a quick walk in the morning and perhaps in the evenings. He loves it and it would get me moving. So I got up a half hour early and had some coffee then took him for a quick walk. As soon as I picked up the leash he nearly lost it. It was all I could do to keep him quiet and not wake up the husband. He waited for me to put his harness on and then was dancing around like it was his job. He was a little wild at first- which just shows I need to do it more often because he's forgotten his leash manners- but once he settled down we had a nice little walk. We only went a few blocks but we will work back up to our milers.
That's all I have for you today. I hope your Monday is a beautiful start to a good week.
