Yesterday was a day of opposing interests. Shadow has clearly been overdoing it and all she wanted to do was sit down and rest. The problem is that she wants us all to sit down to rest with her. If Mum is on the move then Shadow does not want to be left out. She tries to keep going, but just starts to look more and more tired and then flops down on the floor at a moment\u2019s notice of stopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I on the other paw want to keep moving as much of the time as possible. If Mum sits down for long then I start saying \u2018What\u2019s next?\u2019 With Ari, if I\u2019m being honest, he starts saying \u2018Isn\u2019t it bed time? Can\u2019t we all go to the bedroom now?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Ari it\u2019s all been a big change. He was used to going to bed in his crate around 8pm and really he still wants that to be bedtime. I\u2019m happy to stay up later and Shadow just goes to sleep wherever she is, but Ari wants a proper routine. I take myself off to my crate when I get really tired in an evening, but Ari is so worried he\u2019ll miss something. He never does of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the bright side, Mum has nearly finished unpacking the boxes in the office. What that is going to mean is that there will be room for a dog bed in there. That is going to make a world of difference when she\u2019s trying to work. I\u2019ve asked of we could have one of our big Orvis beds in there, but she says it might have to be a smaller one \u2013 or two smaller ones so we\u2019ve all got somewhere comfortable. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll work something out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilma is concerned that the three of them have opposing interests.
