Heart Like a Dog Blog

You may (or may not) have noticed that there was no post on Saturday.  That was the first time since I started this blog 865 days ago that I made a conscious decision not to post.

Scandalous, I know.

I’ve been putting so much pressure on myself to post every day, that I thought I should give myself a break.  Going forward I give myself permission to skip one or two days per week.

I hope that by doing so, I can still put out a quality blog and not burn myself out.

BlogPaws

I’m just about ready to put the finishing touches on my presentation, and don’t worry I fully intend on making it available to all of you (though I don’t think you need it) after BlogPaws.

My original intent with BlogPaw was to bring Sampson and leave Delilah home.  Hubby had agreed to drive down early Saturday morning with my Sam Man as he can’t get time off to go for the whole conference.

The plan was to have my niece stay here with Delilah and have a dog walker come in on Saturday to walk Delilah.  About a week or so ago Hubby told me he’s worried that Delilah will freak out when he and Sampson leave in the middle of the night.  His solution was to bring them both and he would be their handler.

My gut is telling me that Delilah would be too much of a tax in that situation, I know for sure she’ll be barking at every sound she hears from the hotel room.

With the conference only a month away, I’m currently leaning towards leaving them both at home.

Spring is here!

Last Monday there were still patches of snow in my yard, but I’m happy to report that Spring finally arrived!  Yesterday I snuck out of work at lunch and took the dogs for an afternoon walk.

While I didn’t capture the beauty of the bright blue sky, I think the picture shows that Spring is here!
