Sophie’s Impact
When I got up this morning, in addition to making coffee, I went through my usual routine: cleaned up Sophie’s overnight poops, fed Sophie, exchanged soiled puppy pads for clean ones, picked up Sophie’s toys, started a load of laundry (puppy pads) and sat down with my coffee so Sophie could nap on my lap. Yup, Sophie is a little work, but she’s worth it.
When she’s on my lap, we discuss the state of the Union, I explain to her what will be going on today, and I beg her to stop licking me. (Today the house will be sprayed for bugs.)
Without her to motivate me, I bet I’d plunk down and stay put all day.
I’d miss the exciting conversations and the warm feeling of having her lay on me.
