Saturday 5th October 2013 – Good luck Eiger, Addie and Bella

I know I was the one who decided not to go to the Fun Day, but I was very sad indeed going into kennels. Megan and Ari seem to bounce in when they go. I just hate leaving our Mistress. My grandparents said I could have gone to stay there and I’ve asked my Mistress if I can take them up on it next time. At least it wouldn’t mean being away from her for quite so long. Still, I have to put a brave face on things, it was my choice.

I would like to wish Bella, Addie and Eiger the very best of luck with their test today. I’ve heard from Shadow and Megan how nerve wracking it can be, but I’m sure you’ll all do very well. Remember to smile at the judges – you know that everyone weakens at the site of a smiling Entlebucher. I’d like to wish my Mistress good luck in organising it too, if it makes the dogs feel better she is just as nervous as you will be. She’s terrified that she might have forgotten something but try as she might she can’t think of what it is. It brings the thought of last year flooding back and my Mistress having to go straight to the Fun Day from Switzerland and then getting a call to say Megan was mating on the day and she could turn round and go straight back for her. So many of my Mistress’s trips abroad have been eventful. She’s rather hoping that her forthcoming trip can be rather more relaxed and without hiccup.

I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with the day. I’m supposed to be putting together the detail of the Pet Dogs Democratic Party manifesto so that we can publish it, but I’m not really sure I’m in the mood to be all political. I think I feel more like moping.
