Weekend has arrived and that means time to kick back, relax and forget all the errands and tasks for two days but spend quality time with Nili.\u00a0 I need to start doing this the way I did with Layla as it is only fair to her. Yup am having a guilty conscience at this moment LOL. So I decided to share with you what a day with Nili is from early morning till we fall asleep at night and how she keeps me on my toes, plus her training that she is getting, which is helping a lot, thank you Dani.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nili wait at door\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lGK4cJn1U0o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nili loose leash walking foundations\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jAa9CwowweY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Nili my growling alarm clock, wakes me up at about 5 every morning and does not keep quiet till I am awake and searching for clothes plus to get her out. This for her is the best time of the day as I am sleepy and she is a bundle of energy but off we go. I normally walk her for about 3 blocks for her to potty, sniff and of course burn off energy. Once done and I by then am desperate for coffee, we come home. I normally let her run into the building to burn off more energy, but she will make a bee line for the front door, sitting with a wagging tail waiting for me.<\/p>\n<p>I then take her harness off and feed her breakfast which is air dried kibbles, carrots, blueberries, apples and some coconut oil. She gobbles her breakfast down and then starts squeaking toys or takes a nap. While I drink my coffee finally LOL, she will sit at my feet growling and barking for attention and of course treats but have cut back with them because of her diet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3491\" style=\"width: 688px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3491\" class=\"wp-image-3491 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/laylaswoof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-2-1080x700.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"678\" height=\"439\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3491\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Breakfast time<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While I work during the morning she will let me know if she needs to go out which of course we do and then once she is settled, I get back to whatever I am doing. I normally give her YOMP toy or Kong with veggies in plus a bit of salmon which keeps her busy for about a half hour. Then it is nap time for her. If we have been out longer than planned and it is hot I will give her some chopped up watermelon, carrots, blueberries and apples instead.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3493\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3493\" class=\"wp-image-3493 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/laylaswoof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1-900x500.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3493\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yomp time yummmm<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In the late afternoons around 4 or so I take her to the park to run and play while I sit back and watch her with my \u00a0coffee. She loves that time especially if all the treat people are out although most know she cannot have treats because of her diet. \u00a0I am battling to keep her on her diet plus now buying everything for her to munch on that is not more than one calorie which is not easy. If it\u2019s a biscuit she gets a quarter. She is not starving but I do not want her to be obese and the 2 lbs she needs to lose. When we get home from the park in the evenings she gets her dinner, which is the same as breakfast and then the kitchen is closed for her.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The howlers of the dog park\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/smkXWLc4NFE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3495\" style=\"width: 688px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3495\" class=\"wp-image-3495 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/laylaswoof.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Untitled-design-1080x700.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"678\" height=\"439\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3495\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nili and Monkey, I just love this photo<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Our last walk at night is around 9 pm when we walk about 4 blocks, she has time to potty, smell and check the p-mails. The other night while walking we came across a racoon which was as big as her, she barked like crazy while he looked at her as if to say what do you want. She thought she was so smart walking home tail wagging it was quite funny.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I then brush her out, make sure there are no matts, clean her teeth and she gets half a greenie and it is bedtime. Nili sleeps in different places each night but am relieved she settles down and goes to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So that is what our days are like, of course we do different things on weekends, but she gets lots of exercise, playtime in the park, and most of all she is not starving and goes to bed with a full tummy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rescuing a stray, is not easy in some ways, but I would not change it for anything, she keeps me on my toes and for a senior that is enough LOL.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have a wonderful weekend, be safe<\/p>\n<p>With a woof and hugs from Nili<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TGIF!
