Feeling Anxious
I was feeling anxious as I watched Mum taking all the bedclothes of hers and Dad’s bed earlier. Apparently that bed is going to Switzerland.
“Where am I going to sleep?” I asked.
She gave me a hard Paddington stare at that point and led me across the room to my own new bed. Now I know it’s new and I know it is what I asked for, but why would I want to sleep there if I can curl up next to Mum? Although to be fair I’d get a better night sleep in my own bed due to all the coughing going on from Mum.
In the end she did cheer me up by reassuring me that one of the other beds will be coming into our room in its place. I just hope it’s big enough for all of us.
Winter in spring
Yesterday was just a pleasant surprise for a mountain dog. When I went out at half past five there was about two inches of snow in the back garden. Now, I know that time is only supposed to be a pee break for Alfie but I just couldn’t resist running round like a mad thing and leaving pawprints everywhere. I felt completely justified later when most of it had melted. I do think it’s important to really make the most of opportunities in life. Mum says that should be the last snow we get this year, although given that she wasn’t really expecting that lot I wouldn’t want to believe that just yet.
Alfie
Alfie didn’t have a good weekend. I think after the upset tummy he had, not only was he hungry the whole time but his medication didn’t get into his system properly either. He spent quite a lot of the weekend seeming a bit more confused than normal and really whinging. We’d all had enough of it by last night. The only good thing was that he was really ready to go to bed and have a good night’s sleep as he was worn out.
Have a great Monday
Love
Wilma

Your new bed looks lovely Wilma. Sorry to hear Alfie had a bad weekend. I hope he is feeling better soon. Look after him Wilma. Sending lots of cuddles. Sammi sends lots of licks. xxxxxxx
Thank you. I’m doing my best but some days he doesn’t make it easy.

I can sympatise with your distress. 5 years ago I came home to find the room upstairs… empty. I cried out… twice! Mom says it was because the empty room made me feel as my world was falling apart… well my world was falling apart as my first mom was moving to an old peoples home and my new mom moved in.
It turned out I could keep my sofa though. It didn’t quite fit in (first) mom’s new place. I kept my own bed of course but I slept on the sofa for quite some time. My new mom slept on the floor the first night but I didn’t feel sorry for her as she hadn’t given me any warning whatsoever. So we have agreed, the sofa is mine forever… or until I slice it into bits with my claws, whichever comes first.
Anyway, I can reassure you! You will be ok! These kind of changes are not funny but things get better when you get used to them. Hope you will have snowfree, sunny days ahead! There’s too much snow here in Sweden but the sun shines ok.
Best wishes from Francis – the cat
Oh Francis how hard for you. I’m so glad you got to keep the sofa, that must have been very important. It does seem a shame to shred it after all the two of you have been through together.
It’s weird enough without Dad around all the time, but I’m going to visit him soon so I’m trying to think about that. I do hope he remembers me. I won’t have seen him for a whole month.
Love
Wilma
