Day 8 Maddy's second week



Computer down yesterday so couldn't get online and finish. Nothing much to report apart from Maddy beginning to swell. Pictures above are top: Alfie and Piglet and below Maddy. Not terribly good ones I know, as were taken on a phone camera.

Having checked Maddy today, her belly is fuller and her nipples are larger, so I would expect this to be a confirmation of what we knew already.
She is lying at my feet as I write and the other two are driving me nuts playing loudly, another funfilled day in the madhouse!

Having just found Alfie and Piglet with one of my leather gloves chewed to smithereens I am not happy! No wonder they were making so much noise - but fully chastised with the said glove on their rear end - I think it is time for a walk. They are bored, and so am I...some fresh air may put that right.

Another wonderful walk, with piglet running off because a few children frightened her. Doesn't she know she's a Staffy? Daft thing, but we ran after her and nothing apart from her own curiosity brought her back. No use calling her, she's deaf!
All Muddied and wet Alfie decided to wallow in the mud and then come back and haphazardly wipe it all over my clean leather sofa. He is deliriously happy and who could not be happy for him...the suite can be wiped off!
Alfie after covering my sofa decided he would sit on my lap...all wet and grubby, and I felt Maddy was feeling a bit left out, so gave her some one to one time as well. It's hard to love them all equally as they are wanting attention 24/7 and climbing over each other to get to me. God knows what will happen when the puppies get here?

Another day with no dog meat..plenty of all in one dog biscuits but not sustenance with a purpose, so I cooked more rice and opened Sardines and Tuna, mixed it all together and shared it out. Piglet's stomach looked like it would burst, and that was her second meal of the day.

My son gives me some respite, as they all love him too, but he has to keep the three cats from Alfie until they are used to him. Poor girls, first Maddy then Piglet then Alfie...not a lot of fun for them I guess, but they are pretty much used to them all now, and squeakers gives back as good as she gets.

Tomorrow I go shopping. I didn't manage to get to the butchers the other day, but it has to be top of my agenda tomorrow!
Now we go to bed...wish me luck......
