Here are a couple pictures of Wilbur and Henry on the floor together. At first Wilbur just came over and sat near Henry....then he moved a little closer and laid down....then he moved even closer and started licking him....then he stood up and stepped on Henry. At that point I realized that Wilbur still doesn't fully understand the limitations of his relationship with Henry, so floor playtime ended. It's obvious that Wilbur just wants to play with him, but he doesn't realize how gentle he needs to be.
Wilbur has finally reached his breaking point in terms of sleep. For the last week or so he starts out in the bedroom but at about 2 or 3 in the morning when Henry wakes up and is crying, Wilbur quietly gets up and leaves the room settling instead on the couch or the guest bedroom. It's really rather funny because given the way he slinks out of the room it's as though he thinks he's doing something wrong and has to sneak out. I guess for a dog that's used to getting probably 18 hours of sleep a day, the new round the clock schedule must be especially gruelling.
