Anyway, Alfie has started a new medication and we are all very excited about the results. It has only been a couple of days so it may be a bit early to get excited but there have been some noticeable changes. He still hates me, so that hasn\u2019t changed, but at night he is getting into his own bed and sleeping properly. Before he was lying on the floor by our Mistress and then spending some of the night pacing up and down. It\u2019s not just that in a morning he doesn\u2019t wake up so confused and remembers he has to come downstairs with our Mistress. She had been having to wait patiently until he remembered that was the next thing to do. And, he hasn\u2019t had so much problem coming downstairs. We\u2019re now just hoping that all those things continue and that maybe there will be other good signs too. Even if it just means our Mistress gets more sleep we\u2019ll all benefit from that one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think he\u2019s asked to go out for another walk this weekend too, which is very good as he doesn\u2019t have to for Heidi anymore. He quite likes going with Shadow as she makes him feel a bit more confident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma is excited as she is going to London again if all goes to plan. All of the bloggers who were listed in the top 10 UK pet blogs have been talking about getting together and Alfie has asked Wilma to go on his behalf. She can\u2019t wait to meet the other dogs and discuss with them the different ideas they have. Ok, what she actually said was \u2018Yay \u2013 play date\u2019 but I\u2019m guessing she will remember to cover some of the serious stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a really good Saturday. I\u2019m going to be doing some gardening with our Mistress. What are you up to?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh dear I nearly forgot to tell you, that if you want to hear our Mistress talking about her new book &#8216;New York Orphan&#8217; in an interview on Radio York you can hear it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/p05hgkqy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>.
