Shadow tried sleeping but apparently having me for company was too annoying for that. I can\u2019t think why. We had a great time and now wish we could do it all again.

Alfie is going to have to sleep downstairs for the first time since he was about fourteen weeks old, without Mum being there with him. He\u2019s really not happy and has asked if she\u2019d think about moving her bed downstairs permanently to be with him. She stroked him very gently and explained she couldn\u2019t do that. She has set up a camera and the baby monitor so she can check on him until he gets used to it, but he\u2019s really not happy. I think it\u2019s going to mean that Shadow and I sleep upstairs together which will be fun as we quite like snuggling up at night. We shared while we were away, even though Mum had taken separate beds for us. It\u2019s all going to be a bit strange for a while until we get used to how it\u2019s going to work. I do feel sad for Alfie and maybe if his back really gets better then he may come up again, but Mum is worried that if it hurts he\u2019s going to end up falling downstairs if his leg gives under him and that would be awful. I don\u2019t think I like him getting old. It\u2019s not very nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>It was a long journey home but fortunately there wasn\u2019t too much traffic.
