Someone Is Tired

I think someone is tired from all our walks.
I am walking Sophie a good 1 1/2 hours a day. We go on a 30 minute walk before I go to work, then another 30 minute walk when I get home. Throughout the evening we go on small walks and then about a 15 minute walk before we go to bed. The walks are doing both me and Sophie a lot of good. Sophie loves walks and she looks so happy when we are walking. And I am loving being out in the cool air. Most mornings it's in the 20's or 30's and I feel more awake when I leave in the morning.
Most evenings Sophie is sound asleep. I am hoping that all this exercise will help both of us to lose those extra pounds we gained this winter.

The cats are doing wonderful. I never had any concerns about Bonk because she acts like this has always been our home. Ben is walking around more and even finding new sleeping places:
As soon as I get home in the evening Ben comes out from behind the couch, says HI to me and then goes to sleep under the covers. I think he feels safe there, which is wonderful considering I had problems with him and the bed before we moved.

The last couple of nights I woke up and found Ben peeking out the door in the bedroom. I think it's so cute that he will only do this at night. I think he is working up the courage to look out during the day.

This weekend is kind of a celebration for me. Most might look at what happened a year ago devastating, but I found it to be something to celebrate instead. Be sure to check out my special post sometime this weekend.

You know it's true, small places can be like cocoons, so safe. Ben looks so much like my Spooky & Sneaky!
Sophie is probably loving the tired though.

Sophie looks zonked!! I'll bet it is doing you both a lot of good to walk together.

And I love the Ben pictures! He looks so completely content! I like what Patti said about cocoons ... yes, can be very safe feeling.

I am so happy for all of you!!
