Friday 23rd January 2015 – You have to worry

Well my Mistress went for her audition yesterday. You really have to worry about her. She said that most of the ones who were there were a little younger than she is, but not all of them. When she did feel old was when there were questions about modern pop culture. Let’s face it, she didn’t know that much about it when she was young, but she certainly doesn’t now! Even on the quiz there were answers she could only think of after they handed them in. There’s a reason she relies on my master in the pup quizzes! She had to try two individual rounds. One was Geography when she had to name as many countries as she could beginning with the letter ‘C’. I think she should be making an apology to some of my Entlebucher friends as she forgot the Czech Republic.  Mind you she forgot Cambodia, Colombia (her favourite coffee!), Cyprus and Croatia too. She did better when she chose board games and they asked her to name as many of the properties on a standard English Monopoly Board as she could in a minute. No one will play her at Monopoly anymore as it’s always been her thing! She named the whole board with seven seconds to spare! Although no one was quite sure if she had mentioned Pentonville Road. It was good to see her home, she’d had a lot of fun even if she isn’t chosen. When she got home I’d got a lovely surprise for her. My copies of the Pet Dogs Democratic Party Manifesto have arrived ready for its launch. I might take a photo of them to show you if she’ll let me do that ahead of it going on sale.

I’ve not had my test results yet. I’ll let you know as soon as I do.
