Between birthdays, back-to-school bustle, and the beauty of training a new puppy, this little pet is exhausted!
I’ve been sick for the last couple days and I hate it. I end up feeling so useless and off-balance and very un-doux-like when I have to turn the focus on myself in order to get better. But Master is wonderful about it. He spent a little extra time with me, and even worked from home for a day which helped me more than I can explain.
I do hate when the Doux side of me falls to the background in the face of everyday life, but at the same time I am so extremely content it feels like a dream. I find myself cleaning the house and cooking more difficult or labor-intensive meals… Nesting I guess you could say. I never expected that being this domesticated would suit me so well, but here I am smiling when the puppy makes a mistake, and playing with my daughter’s hair in the morning, and pampering my Master every chance I get. It’s the busy times like this that make me glad the groundwork for my pet life has already been laid.
Coming up we have some very big projects in the works that will allow Master more time at home, and more financial freedom so that we can travel and relax a bit. I can’t wait! Till then, I’ll take the few escapes I can and enjoy what we already have.
