The Big Move<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, the big move has taken place and it is not going well. Because Alfie is now so much better, Mum decided she really needed to be able to sit at her desk and sleep in a bed. She can do all those things in the office, but not in the lounge. Alfie has really got to the point of feeling safe in the lounge and any sort of change when you have dementia is not easy to deal with. Now we just have to battle through how unsettled it is all making Alfie. He\u2019s got his big ramp so he can get up to the office and Mum has put the gate back in place so he doesn\u2019t try to go down on his own. She has taken plenty of bedding for him to choose between and now we just have to stay sane until he gets used to it all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best bit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best bit about moving up to the office is that there will just\nabout be room on the bed for me to join Mum. She seems to think she may get\nmore sleep up there and that me being on the bed may not help with that, but how\ncould she begrudge me just a little corner? I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll work something out.\nWe usually do. It normally involves me looking adoring and her giving in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ari\u2019s Claw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I forget to tell you that Aristotle tore one of his claws on\nFriday. There was blood everywhere. And I do mean everywhere! There was even\nsome on the ceiling but we have no idea how he got it up there. It looked as\nthough he and Shadow had been having one almighty fight. He\u2019s a really good patient,\nletting Mum wash and bandage his paw, but you should see how sorry for himself\nhe looks. He\u2019s holding his paw up and demanding sympathy at every opportunity.\nMum says she will have to take him to the vet this morning and I think we\u2019re\nprobably all pleased about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
