The chirp continued today, tho it did stop for three hours in the late afternoon. But i disciplined myself not to get excited, and sure enough it started up again, just like yesterday. I've decided that i will reluctantly accept that i have to walk my dog three times a day, now that the dog-park on our property is off-limits due to the chirping. I'm full of aches and pains, but it's getting easier.

I'm trying to coach myself that my life is easy in so many other ways, i can handle it. I don't care for rolling out of bed in the morning and having to take her out right away, as i'm all dopey and dehydrated then. But i can bear it, at least at this time of year. I've had an easy time with my dog for twelve years, it's not gonna kill me to have some extra duties for the balance of her life.

I might even be feeling some positive effects from the exercise, as my mood has improved a bit!

Hugs to those in need!
