It seems that Rodders can be active for about 2 hours before he needs a nap.
He has been in and out of the garden and has played on his own in the conservatory. He asked to go out and found many distractions on the patio before he made it on to the grass to piddle and poop, but he is now ignoring where he piddled there last night. He has had a slightly squitty botty last night and this morning, is that too many puppy treats or the vegetation he has been eating in the garden? Or, heaven forbid, the dairlylea in his Kong!
I have carried on removing myself behind the baby gate in the kitchen when he gets bitey and this seems to be working. He goes off and finds something else to chew, not always appropriate either! He has earnt a couple of Aaaaaghs when he is gnawing on something he shouldn't.
Eventually he got tired and went and sat on top of the rolled up rug looking dopey. I picked him up and did a bathroom trip for me and then made sure I had everything to hand in the lounge and came and settled him down on my knee. He has now been transferred to the floor and is snoozing at my feet.
Not sure that settling him down on my knee is a good thing but he seems to know he is not allowed on my knee or the furniture unless he is on snuggle fleece. OH got him to settle the same way the other night so it doesn't seem to be just me. This is good as I am going to have to leave him with my niece Ailie for the day tomorrow while I go to a wedding.
And we have had no piddles in the house so far today, this is a huge improvement as there had been three by this time yesterday.
