It's 5 p.m., and like every single day, I'm forced to take a break.
It doesn't matter how many orders are waiting to be finished. At exactly five, Teo walks into the studio and makes sure I don't get another minute of work done until he's had his daily dose of cuddles.
So, I surrender. I make myself a coffee, slow down for a while, and enjoy the interruption.
I like to think it's his way of saying, "Hey buddy, you've been working too hard. Take it easy." But, knowing him, he's probably just after a free massage and a snack.
Whatever the real reason is, we both come out winning.
Sometimes the universe doesn't need grand gestures to remind you to pause—just a little dog who loves you enough to insist on it.
And somehow, everything falls into perfect harmony.
