Finally! We Got to Sleep Late


This morning, Linda did go back to bed instead of staying up.  She put us outside and then since it was still pitch dark, she let Chim come into the big bed too.  All of us fell back asleep until 6:55.  Her day is busy from 8:30 a.m until 8:00 p.m. She's actually so thankful that most of her days are not like this.  Even though she teaches 6 days a week, there are little pockets of time during the day where she can walk us, rest, eat, read or do chores.  Some people leave for work at 6:00 a.m. and, have a horrible traffic commute both ways,  then don't get home again until 6:00 p.m.  All of her gyms are between 5-15 minutes away, and the traffic isn't bad at all.  She loves teaching classes and hopes her body will stay strong for years and years to come. 
Why are they pointing sharp weapons at her head?

Before bed last night, Linda realized we hadn't had a walk yet.  She got bundled up with her -45 below Parka, hooded sweatshirt, scarf, gloves and thick hiking socks.  I refused to come to the stairs to get my coat on, so she left me home.  That's the rule.  If you don't wait patiently for your coat or leash, or she has to chase you down, you don't get to go.  About 10 seconds after she left I started going crazy barking for her to come back.  Chim is afraid of the dark when I'm not with him.  (Surprised?)  He runs out ahead on the main road, but as soon as Linda tried to get him to go down a dark court or side street, he did his pancake routine and wouldn't budge.

Thursday is Penelope day.  Linda is so excited to go over and see her.  Every week there is a new milestone for her to show Nana.  Last week she said  Ba-Ba-Ba, Da-Da-Da and Ma-Ma-Ma.  Today she better be saying Na-Na-Na! 

That's quite a hat Miss. Penelope
