So today both the daddies woke up early. Disappears went downstairs with River. I could hear them outside having a little run around. Stay stayed in bed with me and I got a very early morning cuddle. So far, so good.
Disappears came back upstairs with her and she settled back in bed again and he had a bathe while my cuddle continues. Extra time, not complaining.
Stay got in the bath while Disappears went downstairs again, taking the little dog with him. I joined Stay in the bathroom and we had a little chat. Three in a row.
Then we both suddenly realised. What's going to happen when I go downstairs to have my morning ritual stroke? I can't, River was down there jumping around I could hear her.
A quick solution was required. My eyes went big and I called out to Stay. He stayed with me for a bit giving me my stroke upstairs. Um well OK I guess I can compromise a little if all the other extras I got this morning are going to become my new daily ritual. I don't know how daddy will cope not getting my leg taps though, I know he loves them. Still I guess we're all having to adapt.
They've gone out now, Rivers downstairs and I'm going back to bed..
