Poor Shadow

Watched BBC and local news last night then went to bed. Woke during the night a couple of times and finally got up just before 7 when Buster woke me asking to go out. Risked him off the lead that early and he ran around weeing everywhere. Came in and made a coffee and put BBC news on. Rang Ang at 7.45 and she was really angry. She said she’d been out with Shadow so I took Buster and Dainty out after feeding them. We met Sandy while out and then Buster managed to get his halti off his nose so brought them back to sort it out. Decided to have some toast and marmalade for breakfast before taking them out for a proper walk. While having breakfast noticed Ang go out and was pretty sure she didn’t take Shadow with her. Decided to risk Buster on his collar and took them both to the backwaters. Got Dainty off the lead when got there and wandered around for a while. Buster didn’t like staying on the lead and it was hard to keep him from pulling. Came back and then went over to see Ang after she rang in a state saying Shadow needed to go to the PDSA because he was constipated. When got there he’d messed in her flat and before I could do anything had to come back because Buster was howling. After I’d settled Buster I went back and she’d cleared most of it up so I finished clearing up and took Shadow out. He had loadsa massive wees and 2 big poos and then I had to bring him back in because Buster had started howling again. Before I left I got Ang’s diary so I could ring Ang’s sister’s boyfriend. No reply so had ring Ang’s sister in Spain to get his mobile number. Got him on his mobile and explained what had been happening over last few days and that I couldn’t look after Shadow any more. He agreed to come and collect him tonight as soon as he left work and should get here between 7 and 8 depending on traffic. Had chips with skins on, fried chicken from takeaway and green beans to eat. Took dogs out for a wee as not happy with Buster on his collar and he hates the halti now he’s back to himself. Managed to get Shadow out for 5 minutes before Buster started and I had to take him back. Put some more food down for him as he’d finished the two cans he had earlier. Came back and watched CNN for a while then replied to an email from Mum. Took dogs out at 3 for a wee and Buster fought his halti most of the time he was out. Managed to get Shadow out for 5 minutes again. Checked on Ang and she woke up and asked where Shadow was. Told her I just taken him out and she covered herself with the duvet after I told her how unhappy her drinking was making me. Thankfully Buster wasn’t howling when I got back this time. Decided to do this post after making my third coffee of the day. Feel really bad about Shadow but I can’t look after him any more without Ang’s help.
