We’ve had a humid streak in the northeast for the last few months. It’s actually been so bad that I’ve had to keep the dog’s walks to about 30 minutes. Much more than that and we are all just about ready to drop. Even on those mornings when we’ve been able to get out early, the humidity really does us in.
Friday night we got some big thunder storms which thankfully drove the humidity away.
Hubby and I take turns sleeping in on the weekends. Unless Hubby has to work on Saturdays, that is his day to sleep in, while mine is Sunday. I love sleeping in on Sundays.
Yesterday was no exception. I’m not sure if it was the cooler, fresh air pouring in through the open windows or the Xanax I took just before bed, but I slept pretty darn good; only pulling my lazy butt out of bed just before nine.
It was so nice yesterday morning I couldn’t wait to get out with the dogs in the cool morning air.
As I’ve noted before, I’m calling the dogs back to me quite frequently.
What I found out yesterday is the Here command can be used for more than one purpose.
Delilah loves to roll in things, especially when she’s in the soccer field.
Usually it’s a clump of fresh-cut grass, but you never know with Delilah. I’ve caught her rolling in worse.
I can tell she’s on the scent of something and I try to distract her, but some days it’s just inevitable that Delilah will roll in something.
Yesterday was one of those days.
She was just too quick for me. Maybe it was the after effects of the Xanax but before I knew it there Delilah was rolling around on the ground.
Here, I said reaching into my treat bag.
She immediately stopped what she was doing, jumped up and ran over to me. 🙂
Focusing on just one command has been beneficial to the dogs but it has also been really good for me. It is far easier to remember one command rather than here, come, leave-it, wait, sit, down.
Well you get the point. 🙂
