Sometimes, You Just Laugh

In trying to forget about work woes and whatever is going to happen (it's out of my control), I'm taking it one day at a time and just doing things for me, mostly little things, but things!

After dinner this evening, it's time for our walk. 
I put Sadie on the leash and we start out. 

At the end of the driveway, she stops, refusing to move. 
So I stop, trying to wait her out. (she can be a stubborn little cuss!)

Sometimes this is a little game we play.
And other times, she does it because she has her own direction in mind.

But not today.
She refuses to take a step in any direction.
So I wait some more. 
Inspiration hits!

"Sadie ... let's go get the stroller!"

Sadie dashes back up the driveway to the front door.
We walk in and I grab the stroller, pushing it to the front door.
No sooner do I get it parked and set the brake
and Sadie is climbing right into it!

Which now means I'm committed to a longer walk!
So off we go, the sun has already set
Our twilight is a very short window, less than 20 minutes.
And then it's dark.
But we don't stop until I've reached at least 2500 steps!

Sometimes, you just gotta laugh!
What a crazy dog!
