Last night we had just one get up for a wee and a 7am wake up. I’ll take that!

We have already got into a little routine and I’m working on leaving the room for a few minutes at a time, to get him used to being left. He’ll never be left for long but we still need to make sure he doesn’t develop separation anxiety. The secret is to give him something to lick to keep him busy, for example a filled frozen kong, and to return well before he starts to worry.

I have my shower when he has his first big snooze after breakfast and I take Tatze during his second big snooze after lunch. Tatze doesn’t mind the late walk at all - she’s pretty busy just now keeping her eye on little Ted!
