Having had less than the best night of sleep last night, I thought I would write about dogs and mornings. You see, no matter how tired you are in the morning, your dogs need you to get yourself moving so they can go outside, go the bathroom, and have a walk. Ah, yes, walking in the morning when you still feel half asleep–you can guarantee you will be awake by the time the walk is over! When you feel like skipping the morning walk (after the potty break, of course), it helps to think about how loyal your dogs are to you and that all they ask is for a nice walk around the neighborhood. Looking into their big puppy eyes will do it too–damn them for being so cute. The walks are good for us humans too–more fresh air and more exercise can’t really be a bad thing for us. In sum, mornings may feel like a bitch sometimes (no pun intended), but we do it all for the love of our dog (or dogs).
