Good Morning and Welcome to a Rainy THURSDAY morning.
The sky is gray and it has been raining since before 2:30 a.m.
Likely the thought crossed your mind, how did I know that?
Well because Mr. Alvin was up at 12:17, 2:30, 4:22, 4:52 and then up to stay at 6:19 a.m.
He has breakfast at 4:22 a.m.
Alvin does not like going out in the rain so going to the bathroom for him is always interesting when it is raining.
I have been taking my heavy family size umbrella out each time we go outside so that he feels he has some protection from the rain.
It does help him and also that I am out there, as well.
The boy has not pooped since Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.
So safe to say that the pills are working but when is he going to poop.
He is trying to tell me something so perhaps he wants to go out yet again.
We were just out but I had better go and see.
Will return.
Back again.
I am quite certain that if any of our neighbours were outside and saw this huge umbrella moving about on my deck and then on the grass just above the fenceline, they would laugh.
They would most certainly have a giggle if they could heard my words of encouragement to Alvin “please go poop, Alvin.”
So not again.
I think that he wants to go but his bum is sore and he is reluctant.
If he does not go by this afternoon, I might call the vet to check.
I am glad for both of our sakes that the diarrhea has ended.
Life is so funny.
Never did I think that on May 20, 2020 that I would be working from home and able to be with Alvin 24/7.
So happy that I am with him when he truly needs me.
Last time he was sick, which was last September one week after I returned to work after three weeks of vacation only to be gone another week.
This time I am here already so have only had to take small amount of time …. last Friday a couple of hours and Monday morning.
He is laying on his little bed that I made for him in the office.
He usually stays put there while I write my post and then when I am working he lays on the rug in the hallway.
Yesterday he actually left me and laid on his favourite chair in the living room.
Oh, my boy.
I think today will be up and down while he figures out when / how to go.
He is likely nervous.
My neighbour fertilized the lawn so perhaps it will be a nice lush green for a change.
Although I am not a fan of putting something on the lawn to kill the weeds, I may have to this year.
My neighbour longs for green grass and mine has some weeds.
Even though it is kept cut it does not look very nice.
I am hoping that can get something that is not harmful to the environment but will rid the lawn of the unwanted weeds.
Our back area by the garage is filled with yellow flowers …. dandelions.
At least it is some colour and most of all, good for bees.
Not everyone in the back lane area looks after that space so it is difficult to do so.
Well the clock says I need to get signed on for work.
I got my coffee when we were coming back upstairs.
So ready to go.
I hope that you have a lovely Thursday.
Keep Mr. Alvin with positive thoughts.
I hope he is better soon.
So we can walk again and live our regular ordinary wonderful lives.
Remember with Kindness and Respect is the only way to live our lives.
I/We remain,
As Always, Carol & Alvin
