On balance I prefer the ground slightly frozen rather than it being a little bit muddy – or for that matter, a lot muddy! As long as it is not too bitingly cold my paws don’t get too cold and I do prefer not getting brown bits all over my lovely white socks. It was a perfect winter day yesterday. The sort that you don’t mind having a little bit of winter once in a while. I chose an airfield walk, but I did wonder if I might have preferred the Moors. I tried asking for both but that was considered unreasonable and I was vetoed.
The Crufts tickets have arrived for me to give away in a competition which will run from next Monday so do stay tuned to find out how you can win a pair of tickets to Crufts.
Now I’ve got some difficult thinking to do. My new book, The Pet Dogs Democratic Party Manifesto was due to be launched on 1st April. We liked the humour behind the choice of dates. However, now our Mistress has told me that that date is no longer convenient for her and I will need to bring the launch forward. There was me thinking I’d got plenty of time to get everything finished, but as it turns out I haven’t so I need to get my head round having to do some work and come up with a date that I think I can be ready by. I’m thinking that Monday 9th March looks like the best option. I’ll be back from Crufts and can concentrate on any interviews that are asked of me. Now I’d better finish working my way through the list of jobs my Mistress gave me that need to be completed in time for the launch. I’ll let you know how I’m doing.
