Normans Diary
Well my charm must have worked on Debby as I'm back staying with her & Jim for a while. She collected me after work on Monday, as it was dark and nothing to see I laid down in the back of the car until we got home. Jim came to meet us from the car as Debby had all her work stuff as well as me to juggle, I walked nicely with Jim back to the house, I've got him trained already as my dinner was ready for me within minutes of getting through the door. I like to take my time eating my dinner but will sit to wait for it to be put down, as it was my first meal at the house I did leave a little but returned later to finish it off.
I wasn't keen on the dog bed so did my best to avoid it and snuggled up on the sofa with Debby for the evening, I gave her enough space so she could knit but had a paw in contact with her at all times. As I don't like the dog bed I had to sleep on their bed for the night, sometimes I was on top of the covers other times I went under between Debby & Jim.
Debby was working from home on Tuesday but took me out for a walk to do my business before she started. I spent the day either on the sofa bed, laying next to the dog bed or under her desk. Debby had to go out in the evening but Jim was also working from home so I was able to keep him company whilst he worked until Debby got back - I was then split as to whether I should be upstairs supervising Jim or downstairs keeping Debby company but I decided to keep going between them both. Again I spent the night on the bed between them, I don't move much but can spread out to take up more room than I should

Wednesday Debby had to go to the office but she took me out first, then I managed to convince Jim to take me out later when he got up
Even though Debby had given me my breakfast I still had to watch whilst Jim had his, he did share some toast crusts with me
- Watching Jim eat toast
Jim had to work in London so left the house at lunch time telling me that Debby would be back in a few hours. I didn't like being left so barked and paced the kitchen plus avoided the dog bed that had now been moved to the kitchen. Debby was watching me on the camera and could see I was upset so came home to work for the rest of the day, I was very excited to see her and didn't let her out of my sight for the rest of the day. I think if the time leaving me is built up slowly I will get used to it just knowing that someone is coming home to me and I've not been abandoned.
Debby found another dog bed for me to sleep in - I like this one better and was straight in it.
- Much prefer this bed
When Debby finished work it was dark, she popped on a Hi-Viz vest under my harness so people would see us as I'm nearly black we didn't want to make people jump.
- Hi-Viz for walking in the dark
I am interested in what they eat but I won't steal from the plate or get too close, when I'm told it's not for me I will walk away and lay down, I also like to supervise what is going in the dishwasher and will often stick my head in when the door is open.
Wednesday night Jim tried to get me to sleep in the dog bed rather than on/in their bed - in total I managed 4 hours but they are hoping to build this up so I'm in it all night but we will see!
Thursday - Debby is working from home again today, she has to pop out later and hopes that I will settle whilst she is out.
Thank you for reading my diary, I am very loveable and cuddly, do you have space for me on your sofa/bed and in your life?
