This morning I woke up feeling so spritely because I had a very good walk with Pepsi the previous night. 

We raced up the hill together, I taught her to walk by my side leash-less, she looked remorseful when I got so worried about her dashing across a car.

I felt good about the increased levels of dependency and understanding between us. But I didn't expect to wake up with a smile and my first thoughts on her.. :)
