What To Do On Sundays!

I imagine for most people Sundays are different from other days. Some people do go to church, setting the pattern for the day, but I think anyone who does not work on Sunday tends to make it a restful day.

People with families can visit other family across town while some parents will take their children somewhere like the park, a movie, shopping or for a meal. It's a day for being together and hopefully you do not have to be alone.

I think people without family are the loneliest on Sundays. So, if you know someone who might be alone, it is a nice idea to call them or invite them some place.

I suspect that dogs get a little mixed up on Sundays. Buddy, our Lhasa, knows Sundays have a different routine. First he has to wait longer while Keith puts on shirt and tie rather than his usual golf shirt. He waits and waits to get his breakfast and romp outside.

When I come out to our breakfast on Sunday, Buddy always checks my outfit. He jumps up in approval that I am wearing what he considers "best".

(Of course, it is harder for Buddy than it was for dogs of the past when we wore hats and dresses to church - those dogs had it easy to know their masters were going to church!)

By the time we have been to church, then to lunch and then perhaps run an errand, Buddy is just about fed up with the waiting for us to come back home. When we are back, he is just about beside himself from waiting so long!

We usually treat him to vanilla ice cream and we kick back and have a nap in our recliners as I imagine many folks do. Buddy does not like to let Keith nap for much longer than an hour before hopping up to waken him to do something fun. (One assumes Buddy has napped while we were out.)

I hope you have family to enjoy and a "Buddy" to remind you how to behave when you have Sunday off!
