Nova woke up early, already feeling fresh and Friday. There was pre-breakfast bacon, the dewey smells of a spring morning outside, and fresh clothes on the bed for her to lie on top of. 😆 She took her medicine as she waited for breakfast and asked again about the car. No she can’t go for a ride, no she can’t have the keys, but I don’t blame her for asking every time. She watches me putter around with my coffee, lying down with her tennis ball when I’m boring and working. She’s excited for me to leave finally, so she can have her lick pad. And then the house is hers, to patrol, to lounge in, to nap… And then the door opens and it’s time for walks and dinner and medicine and toys and snuggles… 🥰🐾🥰

Some dogs require a lot of work. But taking care of Nova has been totally… painless. 😉
