Puppy heater

I take an afternoon nap every day. Not really an option with the lyme fatigue. Also the headaches... sleep seems to reset me somewhat and dinner is more doable if I have slept.

My dogs get so excited as I finish up lunch: Are we going for a nap now?! Are we? Are we? Hooray! We loooove naps. They bounce around my legs, hyper-happy, like we are going to go for a walk.

I find it odd, but they really do this. Sometimes, when I get a bit depressed about having to spend even more time in bed, I just look down at them pleading with me to go curl up in bed and realize that hey maybe napping is actually pretty darn awesome. Something to be celebrated. Clearly, they say. Clearly!

My fave part is that my oldest dog, she's 15, insists on napping under the covers, curled right up tight against my back for afternoon nap time. Not at any other time of day - it's weird. But I love it. Her energy is soothing, as is the heat.

The difficult part then becomes convincing myself (and them!) to get back up.
