Sick Day

Today was a rest day with the Gymnastic Bodies online course so I had planned on running around outside with the dogs. Lots of Frisbee, some chase, and just letting them be out in some open space. You'd think with how often I say that we throw the Frisbee for them, that they would get tired of it. NOPE! Those two are absolutely CRAZY about it. If I'm just holding it in my hand trying to let them rest, Auggie will do everything short of using his mouth to make the throwing motion of my arm to get that thing in the air. Jumping straight up, smacking it with his nose or paw, jumping and nudging my arm. You name it, he does it.

Scout gets excited but for the most part she's realized that rests aren't so bad. She'll lay down in front of me for a few minutes and then pop up and tap the Frisbee in my hand when she's ready to sprint has fast as her legs will go again.

Unfortunately, what was just going to be a rest day from my workouts turned into a rest day for the whole family. Tyler was sick and so was Auggie apparently. I got an email at work telling me that the poor little guy was throwing up this morning. Neither of us are sure what caused it but one thing is for sure, he's the most pathetic thing ever when he's sick. Think of the bad puppy face that dogs get, combined with him attempting to tuck his non-existent tail and still managing to wiggle but at a much slower rate. Makes me want to do nothing but curl up with him on the couch all day.

Auggie's doing better now for the most part. I think it's going to take him till tomorrow to get his energy up again (he's currently passed out on top of Tyler) but at least he hasn't thrown up since this morning. Scout has been pretty sympathetic and is showing her caring by taking up all the space next to me on the couch. Obviously her slowly pushing me off the cushions while being snuggled under the blanket is her way of showing her love.

Tomorrow we all should be able to get back to making ourselves into better humans/puppies. Depending on how the dogs and Tyler are, outside time may be cut short. I'm happy to report that I COMPLETED the Core 1/2 class (I'm so happy to say that I finished it this time!) so I will be completing the first Tuckup class tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes!
