A typical day with the dogs starts with a morning walk. Betty, the Jug, doesn’t need a long walk, so we usually do a quick loop around the block with both dogs. After that, I drop Betty back home and head out again for a longer walk with Nala. Once we’re back, they get their breakfast, then just chill around the house, playing with their toys or napping. Lunchtime rolls around, so I let them outside for a bit of fresh air and playtime. Later in the afternoon, we repeat the walk routine, and after their tea, it’s time to wind down. They both love curling up on the sofa for some chill time with me to finish the day.
