I blame the full moon. Who wouldn\u2019t want to go outside to look at it at 3 in the morning? It turned out that Mum didn\u2019t but she might have done. This was Friday night. Shadow\u2019s tummy had settled down and Mum was hoping to get a good night\u2019s sleep. I had other ideas. I\u2019m not usually like that, but when you\u2019ve got to go, you\u2019ve got to go. At 3am I tapped Mum very gently and asked if she\u2019d mind getting up. Of course, by the time we came downstairs that woke Shadow. Ok, if I\u2019m being honest, it was my barking that woke Shadow. Mum had asked me to be quiet. Mum took me out. Then she took Shadow out and we all went back to our beds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I said maybe it was a but and I\u2019d got it from Shadow. Mum was unsympathetic and said maybe it was the chew I\u2019d demanded in exchange for doing another meet and greet Zoom call. Either way, I woke her again at 3.30am and we went out a second time. This time, Shadow didn\u2019t need taking out. Goody four paws that he is, Ari didn\u2019t insist on going out either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given Mum was feeling stressed about going for her Covid_19 vaccination yesterday morning, she wasn\u2019t best pleased. And, before you ask, she wasn\u2019t worried about the vaccination, she was only concerned about meeting other humans. That\u2019s something she really hadn\u2019t done now for a while so she found it all a bit difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did offer to go with her as her assistance dog. She said in that situation Shadow would be far better as she helps to keep people away, whereas I\u2019d have wanted to say hello to them. I just like to be friendly, but at the moment that\u2019s not the approach she\u2019s looking for. Maybe I will be allowed to be friendly again soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
