Shadow is sleeping \u2013 lots! Since taking the herbal calmers she has definitely relaxed. She is spending much more time sleeping and much less time pacing. It has to be doing her good. Mum says perhaps we should all be taking them, including her. Hopefully a few nights of not being up quite so much with Shadow will do all of us good and we won\u2019t be quite so fractious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other odd thing with Shadow is that she has also suddenly started wanting to come up to the orchard with me and Ari and eat some of the apples. Mum thinks because she\u2019s less stressed that she isn\u2019t so focussed on whether Mum is there all the time and so can have a bit more fun. Our only worry is that on past performance, when Shadow eats apples she\u2019s usually sick afterwards, so we may be up for other reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday would have been Grandpa\u2019s birthday, so today is the official start of Christmas in our house. Mum said she saw no reason to change the way we\u2019ve done things and the 18th<\/sup> of November is definitely a good day to begin. I didn\u2019t think we were going to start putting the lights up until tomorrow, but the forecast has changed and today looks quite good too. Mum\u2019s aim is to have 1,000 of the lights up by the end of today. It\u2019s good to have an aim!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m getting impatient to start putting together the videos I\u2019ve got planned. Mum says she\u2019s got to work out how to set up the camera to do what needs doing. I might have to wait for Dad to be home to help too, but that still seems like ages away. You know what I\u2019m like when I\u2019ve got an idea. I want to do it and I want to do it NOW!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The good news is that Shadow is sleeping.
