We\u2019re having a worrying time with Shadow. She collapsed again early yesterday morning. Once Mum had sorted her out and cleaned up we all went back to bed. Shadow just went and stood by the side of Mum\u2019s bed until Mum got up and gave Shadow her heart tablet. Shadow definitely thinks the problem is heart related, even though she doesn\u2019t understand exactly how. She was coughing much more during the day yesterday to. Mum says if she gets any worse then she\u2019ll call the vet, but as it is similar to last time she\u2019s not really sure there is anything they can do at this stage. Shadow is feeling very sorry for herself and wanting to stay as close as possible to Mum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re waving Dad off again for a short time. None of us want him to go. Life has been so much more relaxed with him at home. Mum has been happier and that makes all of us happier too. With Dad away Mum will spend much more time either at her computer or doing jobs around the house. She\u2019s not nearly so much fun when she\u2019s trying not to think about missing Dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only good thing is that she has promised that as long as the weather is good she\u2019ll spend more time gardening and doing jobs outside. For a start there are the holes in what was the piggery to be covered over. We won\u2019t be able to run in and out anymore but as some of our things are stored in there at least they will stay drier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re back to decorating again too. Mum is determined to get some of it finished before Dad is back again. She has said we will finish the Bedroom and the kitchen units. I\u2019m guessing it will be one or the other, but I don\u2019t like to say that to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
