Part of night duty can involve cuddle time for the dogs. I can always tell when he's been working on teaching a squirmy dog to sink into squeezes. "Have you been holding Diamond at night? She's been extra chill lately when I hug her." Tim: "Yep. Love that dog."
That may be why, rather than rush around in the dark, most of the dogs run outside, do their business, then run back to the door asap. "Let me in." It's time to cuddle, get a treat, fall asleep to the night sounds and wake up to start a brand new day.
Can I come live here, too?
ReplyDeleteNight duty sounds amazing. Tim is very lucky to have that job. The barn patio looks so cute and inviting at night too....I love the lights. The barn dogs are so lucky to have such a beautiful temporary home and to be getting cuddles before bed!! Hugs & cuddles from Texas ~ xoxo!!
