I\u2019ve been doing my job to the very best of my ability. My job at the moment is to take care of Mum and it\u2019s a job I love doing. I\u2019ve been making her laugh. She says it impossible to stay sad and keep crying when a dog has her nose so close that she is ready to lick away every last tear you shed. Where else does she thing I\u2019d be at an important time like this? I need to be on paw to help in whatever way I\u2019m needed. This is the sort of thing I\u2019m best at and being Mum\u2019s right paw dog is a joy for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ari says he doesn\u2019t want to be left out of the process, but he has to settle for being her left paw dog. He\u2019s happy with that. For a start he\u2019s not so much a licky sort of dog as I am and he can\u2019t climb on the bed or settee quite so easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might ask where Shadow has been in all this. She wasn\u2019t feeling so well herself yesterday. She is also having periods of random barking which aren\u2019t helping anyone. At least now Dad is back she can bark at him instead of Mum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now Dad\u2019s back the plan is to spend as much time outdoors as the weather allows. As far as I\u2019m concerned that\u2019s pretty much the whole time, but Dad\u2019s never been so keen on rain and Mum isn\u2019t a fan of wind, so that cuts it down a bit. Mum has explained there are times they need to go to help Granny, so we do need to be patient and understanding. Patience is my middle name \u2013 well, the one after \u2018wild\u2019 anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
