Rhythms and the dogs

The rhythm of life beats a bit quicker down here. Getting my body to dance to the music of the city is taking some time to adjust. I feel like I get up, walk the dogs, work, walk the dog, eat, walk the dogs and sleep. The circle of life I assume.

My mornings start right after I open my eyes. I used to stumble down the stairs and open the front door to let the dogs out. Now I actually have to put on clothes before I have had coffee and take the dogs out for a walk. The weather has been nice and our morning walks, although short, are fun. I like to see the city waking up.

M ask me if they were getting less exercise now. They are actually getting more now that we are going out at least three times a day.

We take at least 3 walks day so far, sometimes 4 on the weekends. Each walk is between 10-30 min. That is a lot more exercise for the dogs. Not to mention that it is all on a leash. Another new thing. My dogs know how to walk on a leash but are not the best leash walkers. Although Remmy is a no nonsense kind of walker, he just goes. Zoe is much more interested in all the new sights and smells.

The dogs are getting into the rhythm too. They had a hard time with when to potty. Remmy is learning how to ration his pee so he can mark everything, gotta love male dogs! They are learning that I leave in the morning and come back and night. We are all adjusting though, even M.

He is loving the dogs. He plays ball with Remmy, who is now his best friend. The dogs have also learned who the weak link is, lol. They know that if they beg from him they are much more likely to get a treat than from me. Oh poor M, hardly has a meal in peace!

Although life is quicker, the little things seem much bigger now.
