What a difference ten minutes makes!
Every morning, I get up at 5:40 and walk Chloe.
Yesterday, Gen was on a 6:00 flight to Chicago, so when I got up at 5:40, I had a text message conversation with her. I was ten minutes late to start our walk.
Chloe and I have a route we take every morning. The same thing, every morning. Evening walks are for going wherever we please, playing and running and having fun; morning walks are for getting down to business.
Just as we were getting to the point where Chloe does what she's there to do, right in the middle of a large grassy area, THE SPRINKLERS CAME ON.
Poor Chloe was so freaked out that she dragged me straight home.
So that's the difference ten minutes makes in the morning: a shower. I prefer to take my showers after our walks, and with warm water and in the bathroom.
What a wake-up!
