Sad puppy 1/10/2014

I have a sad dog, Kai is very much missing her boy. For the past several weeks whenever she wanted to play she would run upstairs, go into my son's room and steal something so that he would chase her. Or she would run up to his room, jump on him and bark. Then she would run all over his bed, which meant she stepped on his head, back, stomach, etc. He would finally get up and kick her out of his room, then she would again grab something and make a run for it. I am not as fun. I play but I do not run all over the back yard chasing her, just a little. I do not take her for long runs on her leash. I take her for long walks. So yesterday while my son was packing up things Kai was lying on her cushion watching him. She would not get up and she did not follow me into the TV room for our usual cuddle session. Today, she is still moping, though she did get my son up and she had a little race time with him. It is raining and I do not walk in the cold rain anymore, since I fell. I have played wrestle mania with Kai but she keeps looking up the stairs expecting the boy to come down them. Poor sad puppy. Currently she is on a terrorist binge of grabbing things that she knows are a no so that I will chase her around the house. I have managed to wrestle, plastic, toilet paper rolls and a pen from her grasp. This usually entails bribery. I am hoping the weather breaks so I can get at least a small walk, need the rain, prefer snow in the winter, but really would welcome a little exercise. I am sure Kai feels the same way. There is always tomorrow.
