Morning!

Rodders went out in the garden for a piddle before bed and went in to his crate with some treats without a murmur. I heard nothing until 5.50 and came down to let him out. He was very pleased to see me and wanted his tummy rubbed before going in the garden for a piddle.

I tried to do what OH does and let him go on his own, he was out there for about 5 minutes and then trotted back in for a bit of a fuss before asking to go back out again. He was out there ages playing with the stones on the patio.

When he came back in he had a bit of a play in the conservatory but he has spent a lot of time sitting on the rolled up carpet staring in to space. He has played tug with his monkey and chased his crisp packet but wasn't too interested in his ball this morning.

He has eaten half his breakfast, I will give him the rest in his Kong when I go to get washed and dressed.

He has been up on the sofa for a snooze and then moved to the floor on snuggle fleece, then took himself off to the one by the dining table before coming back and asking to come up again.

He has been making little puppy noises and doesn't seem quite his usual self, maybe he is just tired.
