NORMALITY
It is nice to have visitors.
When they leave, the readjustment is a pleasure as well.
There is a general relaxation. A quiet, sleepy reaction to the absence of conversation. A slow motion resettling into the old routine.
We have an excuse to take it easy; not start in on anything too strenuous.
The post-visitor malaise affects us all.
Franklin is in almost total nap mode. It is required that he spend all his time attending to visitors; dog business. There is playing, coaxing to play, snuggling, coaxing to snuggle, new walk partners; all that. It is a 24/7 proposition. Full alert.
Now, he can relax. He snoozes. He walks around aimlessly. He lacks focus. I know how he feels.
In a day or two, everything will be back to normal. But just now, I will enjoy the transition.
I have to go take a nap now.
