I'm taking a personal day

I didn't walk the dogs this morning. And I'm OK with that.

Any other day, I wouldn't be OK with that. I'm a rain, snow, sleet or shine kind of girl. If it's raining, we'll all put on our raincoats and head out. If it's snowing, we'll bundle up and take time to snap some pictures while we're out. Sleet, well, honestly, I'm not sure that has ever happened, but I'd imagine we'd put on our raincoats and bundle up, too. The coldest it's ever been one morning was 19 degrees. And we walked.

But not today. For me, yesterday was one of those days. One of those days that carried into this morning. I needed some time to myself so that I could face today. And that meant no walk.

I fed them, gave them some hugs and kisses and even a special chew treat before I left for work.

Tonight, I expect two hyper dogs to greet me when I get home. We might take a walk, but we might not. We could just settle in and watch TV and start over in the morning. The good thing about dogs is, they don't have memories, so they won't remember tomorrow that I didn't walk them today.
