Is it worth getting up?

You’re waking me from my nap to take this picture. Did you really need to do that?

.On the other hand, waking up can be AMAZING - the sun is shining, the day is awaiting, full of brilliance.

I was just telling me son, Adrian (the dog) knows what kind of a day it is - if it’s really wintry-gloomy or if, feeling optimistic, winter-snuggle-down - or if you’re feeling neutral - a fantastic hibernation day - she holes in her crate (we always leave the door open because she has some kind of trauma from long before us around crates) and she stays there until the energy and light invoke her to come out, or we cook something delicious enough to get her nose outweighing her sense of den-cocooning as the priority of her commitment.
