The one thing neglected? My walks with the "ruff girls", Maxie and Mia. We squeezed a couple of short ones in, but before long the weekend was over.
Monday night found me soaring through loads of laundry, catching up on paperwork, emails and a #petchat on Twitter that I absolutely enjoy every week.
As I diligently worked through all my self-imposed tasks, into my office walked Maxie and Mia. They, as always, seek me out around the house, "supervising" and just generally checking up on me.
I reached down to pet the two of them. They looked up at me and patiently waited for more - and then guilt hit me -
They are the reason I started Ruff Talk -
they are the reason I look forward to interacting with like minded pet lovers on Twitter -
they are my inspiration for my posts and most of all -
they are one of the main reasons I smile.
As I am busy around the house, they come looking for me.(looking for some interaction or just to be near)
No matter what kind of day I have at work, they are my evening greeters with that all encompassing affection they can't wait to share when I walk in the door.
I'm not sure I can fully explain all the ways they enrich my life.
SO...I bid a brief "be right back" on twitter,
said the magic "w" word and
made a bee-line for the door. They were close behind.
Although we are in the Midwest, it currently sounds like the Amazon. It has been raining incessantly, and more was on its way, but the evening was clear for now.
It was a wonderful walk.
Sometimes guilt is a good thing.
