Lack of routine?!

When Ann owned 'MollyCollie' they had a routine. The routine was....................... go for a walk for about 45 mins before breakfast and then go for another walk at some point in the afternoon for about an hour to an hour and a half.



I don't have a routine........................ And now Ann is wondering whether her life should be a bit more organised so that I know what is happening and when to expect my walks? However, when Ann owned MollyCollie she always worked in jobs where she had set times & days to go to work. And on the days that she didn't work, MollyCollie went on her morning walk and then the rest of Ann's day never started until she'd watched 'Jeremy Kyle'. Lol!!! #WemissJK



As a 'meet & greeter' Ann never knows when she's working until the last minute. She's never out for long, but I never know what to expect each day and now Ann is having a bit of a panic in case she hasn't instilled enough 'routine' into my life?? #neuroticpuppymummy



Take today for example; first thing this morning I trekked around the streets of Morningside on my lead for about half an hour. A half hour walk first thing in the morning is a bit confusing for me. I know if I only go round the block then I'm going to get a longer walk after breakfast. I know if I go to the park for an hour or so first thing then I'm probably going to be left 'home alone' after breakfast. But a half hour walk....................... I didn't have a clue what was happening this morning????



After breakfast Ann said, Trixie, I've got to go for a mammogram, don't you just hate your boobs being squashed ladies? I won't be long and when I come home I'll take you to Hermitage of Braid for a good run about because I have a 'meet & greet' to do this afternoon. So at about 11am I went on my second walk of the day and I was out for about an hour & a half.



It was fabulous in the Hermitage of Braid. We went on a path that we hadn't been on before and then we went down to the burn so that I could have a drink and a bit of a splish, splash, splosh. And then........................... do you know what happened while I was having a bit of a paddle in the burn?..................... I met a bouncy little cockerpoo & a chocolate brown lab and they were going the same direction as us. So we chased & chased & chased and chased each other for about half an hour. And I was definitely the speediest. Yay!



When we got home I was totally, utterly and completely exhausted so I immediately went into snooze mode. Ann went out about an hour later to do her 'meet & greet'. I was a good pup and just slept in my bed. And when Ann got to her 'Meet & Greet' to meet her guests at 2.30pm, she texted them to say she was at the property, and then got a phone call to say they weren't going to be arriving till 6.45pm. Mmmmmmm........................ oh well at least she didn't have to sit waiting for guests who didn't show up within their allotted time.



Ann's intention was to take me to the park for an hour or so when she got home. But do you know what? I was still really sleepy and it had just started to rain so Ann just took me round the block for wee-ing purposes. She might take me out again later this evening if I'm displaying 'hyper' tendencies???? Or she might not.



…..................As I say.......................... my life has NO routine.



I know I go out for toileting purposes as soon as I wake up and before I go to bed at night. But what happens the rest of the day is anyone's guess? Do I need more of a routine?



Thoughts peeps???????????????????????
