Skipping Out on Bloodwork

My energy has been pretty depleted as of late, so I am able to do less and less during the day before my body decides it's enough. 

Sometimes I push straight through anyways, but for the most part I have had to rest. This means that our youngest pup has been a bit bored and acting out. I don't blame him. I feel awful about it. He still gets tons of play time in the house and cuddles and hasn't had to stay in his kennel through the night in weeks, but he has been bored, which is our fault. 

Today I woke up with a medium level of energy. What I mean by that is that I can do one fairly big activity. One thing today that depletes my energy further, and then the remainder of the day will be spent resting. 

Technically, I should have gone to get bloodwork done. I have a few appointments next week and updated bloodwork would be nice. Not mandated, but nice. BUT I felt far more guilty about our pups, so I decided to take them for a short walk instead. 

I couldn't do both activities, so I chose the one that would make my heart happier. 

Plus, I still have the opportunity to potentially get bloodwork done on Tuesday, so that's the tentative plan. 

So I played hooky on bloodwork to hang out with my dogs and ensure they are well-exercised and played-out today. 

I think I made the right choice.
