Small Steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We seem to be making small steps in the right direction. Aristotle was beside himself with excitement having been for his first walk in ages. For once, he would have been happy to walk further than Mum, but he\u2019s an uncomplaining sort of a chap, so he turn around when she asked him too. I know I got to play with other dogs yesterday but I did feel a little envious when he came home with all the local gossip. Mum is measuring how far she walks each day so that she can see her progress. Yesterday was 0.6km, which may not sound far, but it took her nearly twenty minutes. Mind you, she said half of that was clearing up after Aristotle who wanted to poo at every opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alfie was having a much better day yesterday. I didn\u2019t help matters by getting up and having a good bark at 5.15am. I was not popular in our house, I can tell you. Even Shadow came downstairs to see what all the fuss was about. It took Mum ages to get back to sleep, but at least being Saturday she didn\u2019t have to rush anywhere. I really do need to try to re-educate my stomach, but that\u2019s easier said than done. I\u2019m wondering if Mum would let me take something to bed to be a midnight snack when I need it. I know what you\u2019re thinking, it would never last until midnight. That\u2019s probably true, but as I caught Mum having elevenses at 9.30am the other day she really couldn\u2019t say too much in complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think she may be more concerned that I\u2019ll disturb her with\nmy munching, but I\u2019m sure I could learn to eat quietly if there were enough\nincentive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Excited<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m getting excited about Dad coming home later in the week. In\nhis own quiet way, I think Alfie is quite excited too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
