He\u2019s not too thrilled about it, but Alfie is resting. The original plan was that he would rest up here in the office, but there are three problems with that plan. Firstly, he doesn\u2019t want to do stairs and there are half a dozen steps up to the office. Secondly, he keeps knocking everything over with the collar he\u2019s having to wear to stop him licking his leg. Thirdly, I\u2019d need to be tied up or put in another room to stop me licking his leg. I only want to take care of him. He\u2019s my best buddy and I\u2019m worried about him. I guess being all hormonal just exaggerates those feelings. It\u2019s a bit like the brain teaser \u2018How do you get the fox, the chicken and a sack of corn across the river\u2019 in this house at the moment. I can\u2019t be with Aristotle as he\u2019s getting too excited about my hormones. To be fair when he\u2019s around I get pretty excited about them too. Aristotle also had an upset tummy yesterday which really didn\u2019t help matters. Shadow and I can\u2019t be with Alfie as we both want to mother him. Mum is having a bit of a nightmare. I\u2019m not even allowed to sleep in the room with them as I just can\u2019t resist wanting to lick Alfie\u2019s leg. I understood why, and was very good about it. I know he really needs to be near Mum at the moment so I slept in my crate in the office without complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because Shadow was the only one up for a walk yesterday and Mum wants the exercise they went for a long walk. Mum was happy, but Shadow said she could have done with it being a bit shorter. She says she\u2019s not as fit as she used to be and needs to remember that this time when it\u2019s fun day a week on Saturday. She ached for days after the last one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
