One of the things I've realized now that I live with dogs is that they love routine. They want to get up at the same time every day, be fed at the same time every day and have their walks at more or less the same time every day.
Luckily for me, I like routine too. I don't mind repeating the same actions in the same order with the same tone of voice.
When this doesn't work out is the odd day when I just want to sleep in. If we got up at 6:00 the day before...guess what? The dogs will be subtly giving me signs it's time to get up. Fidgeting in the bed. Licking my toes. Resting their noses on the edge of the bed so that they are about a centimetre from my face and I can smell what they had for dinner the night before. You know, all those gentle ways to wake someone up.
Since our move, we've fallen into a comfortable routine. I was thinking about that this morning as the girls trotted happily along beside me on our walk this morning.
