Dog Days

Yes...it is a fabulous month. I am on "vacation," which means for the entire month of January I am not working. So I have had plenty of time to spend with my little guy, Stanley, who is a 2 year old rat terrier. He is full of energy and love. But he also reminds me about some of the good things in life.

Like sleeping.

Stanley sleeps the majority of the day. We get up early to go out. We go back to bed. We get up and take a walk. I do whatever I want...email, computer, etc...and he sleeps. I go to the gym and when I come back, Stanley is asleep on the couch. We play tug for five minutes and then he goes back to sleep. He sleeps a lot. And honestly I am enjoying doing a lot of the same. Doggie days rock. Oh and he's super funny. His silly antics make me smile when I am down. He helps me forget when work is hard or my personal life hits the rocks. That little tail never stops wagging. He really is this (wo)man's best friend!

I hope that once I start the busy life of an OB/GYN intern I still have time to spend with my little man. I hope that we still have time for our daily walks and to cuddle on the couch while I watch TV. Because for all he does for me, he certainly deserves 30 minutes of my time each day :-)
