Creature of habit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To say Aristotle is a creature of habit is a bit of an understatement. He was so funny last night. Mum had put him to bed when he expected to go, but then he was kicking off and crying. Mum was worried he wasn\u2019t well. She put us out of the way so she could go in to him without us trying to help. Anyway, when she got in to his room she asked him what was wrong. She thought he was going to say he felt sick or needed the toilet. He was fine, it was just that Mum had forgotten to put the blanket over the top of his crate and he wanted it sorted out. Once she had put the blanket in place he was happy to settle down and go to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

He was using his leg a little more yesterday and even put it to the ground when Mum moved a little faster. He says he\u2019s not ready to use it all the time yet, but it is feeling somewhat easier than it was and we all now crossing our paws that the improvement continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six months<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have effectively been in isolation now for six months. Mum can probably count on her fingers the number of people she has seen in that time. She might need a few more fingers but not many. It all started when she broke her ankle on her way to Switzerland and then when we got back she had to care for Alfie. By the time she didn\u2019t have to be with Alfie 24 hours a day the rest of the world had joined in the whole isolation experiment. Now she\u2019s wondering just how long she will have to be shut away. At least we have a few months of long warm days to look forward to. I think it might feel less tolerable when we get back to autumn and I can\u2019t spend all day outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
