Home Destruction…

Toilet seat off twice – broken connections.

The kitchen floor has seen plenty of action. One unwatered Pot Noodle distributed over it (and that dust gets everywhere!) One full bottle of squash poured over it. One broken glass, the thick Ikea ones that shatter and cover every inch and you’re still finding bits 2 days later, first thing in the morning- worst time and had 1 cut doggy paw! 😢 Plenty of meltdowns in various positions! 😫

I’ve noticed more marks on door frames and doors. Same height. So either a 5ft beaver has moved in without my knowledge, the dog can fly or hover 5ft off the ground whilst chewing every wooden object she can find OR its Holly! Which I’m thinking is a safe bet! 🙈

Everyday behaviour is as expected, full on, 24:7 attention with no let up. I don’t think I’ve slept properly in 8 days – firstly because of my own anxiety/stress and also because I’ve managed to pick up a really nasty cough and sore throat. I am hoping that these might help me sleep tonight!

Sleep and rest is needed right now. Not sure how long we can keep going at this pace, constantly, without any proper respite or placement.

On the plus side Holly has had a few moments of calm…

And Holly loved it when we had to bath the dog (after she had fell in the canal – the dog that is – not looking where she was going!) She mentions it whenever we go in the bathroom!

One clean fluffy ‘Poppy-dog’.
