after a couple of slow days

carver was up and back in action this afternoon. he had not been feeling well these past couple of days-a little more moany and groany than usual, and not at all interested in walking, especially in the cold and rain. but today when I arrived home, carver jumped up and was happy to walk. we ended up up at the big pond. carver ran and sniffed and was his happy self. my heart is full of gratitude for this day, to see him happy and to be able to bring him to one of his favorite places. I am getting used to this new ebb and flow, enjoying the coziness and pats on the slower days, and the excitement and thrill of the more active ones. I am looking forward to a weekend of no plans, just time with carver, doing whatever he feels up for.
