It is 9:57am on the East Coast, and I'm still in my robe. I did have early telephone interviews, so I might have an excuse, but, frankly, I'm amazed that these days, I stay in my robe for hours.
I attribute this to a reaction against decades of having to dress immediately upon arising to walk the dog. Since Nessie died two years ago, I have never gotten dressed right after getting out of bed. Thankfully, I work from home 100% of the time these days!
I think about getting another dog, but then I think about having to return to popping out of bed and getting dressed, no matter the weather, to walk the dog. DH is not a dog-walker. I told him I'd get a dog if he got us a fence, but he hates fences. OTOH, I have always appreciated that my dogs have made me healthier by forcing twice-daily long walks.
How do you manage the dog-walking dilemma? Do you walk? Do you fence? Do you have an electronic fence? My friend just got a Samoyed and the collar can be set to go off within a certain diameter of her house (as opposed to installing an electronic fence on property boundaries).
I love dogs. I love my robe. Any advice?
