Sleep

I never thought sleep was so important till we got our Mattie. Oh my goodness...she is such a love but she is so demanding of our time, attention and love. Most of the time I don't mind. She is fun to play with and watch but I tell you at 2:30 in the morning it is a whole different story. This morning she woke at 2:30...I took her out and she did her business but she would not settle down once we put her in her crate. I thought she might settle down..but no...so unfortunately for my hubby he decided to get up with her. I tried to sleep more...but really did not get fully back to sleep. I think it was enough of some sort of rest as I feel pretty good this morning. All I have to say is sleep is good.
Oh and I must add though that our Mattie did great on her first long hike. We went on the Sage Brush Park Loop Trail. She absolutely loved running through the brush and climbing over the many rocks found along the trail. She was a trooper...she began to tire a bit towards the end but she, like myself, slowed down but plugged away till we were finished. She did so well we are already planning more hiking for her on easy trails. Robb took her on one this morning I believe, but I not sure how it went. So tonight when I get home I may take her on a short trail by our house that runs along the creek that parallels the road to the top of the hill where will live. It is a short walk but she will enjoy the brush and the smells of the outdoors. I guess that's about it for now. Back to work I must go.
