Wilma\u2019s training class didn\u2019t go quite so well this week. She had fun with her new best friend Jazz, but she wasn\u2019t really in a working mood. She now wishes she had been as our Mistress is making her do much more homework. In fairness to Wilma she loves learning and doing as our Mistress wants so she doesn\u2019t really mind. Our Mistress has even said that she will get Megan\u2019s old rucksack out for her to use, which is a real honour and none of the rest of us have been allowed to use it. When she goes away for Crufts she says she\u2019s going to carry all her own things, which oddly she seems quite excited about. She has been learning to stand nicely, in the hope<\/p>\n

\"Wilma
Wilma practising her stand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

she will remember what to do on Saturday for the judge training and for her first ringcraft class. She\u2019s also been learning to have her ears and teeth checked properly rather than seeing it as a game and wriggling. She\u2019s doing quite well all things considered.<\/p>\n

Shadow is resting but says she is feeling quite a bit better than she was. She\u2019s not completely right yet, so she\u2019s just hoping she feels up to going away for the weekend because she\u2019d been looking forward to it. Our Mistress has said she\u2019s sure she will be ok, so paws crossed.<\/p>\n

Because it has been drier the last few days our Mistress took Aristotle and Wilma to Ari\u2019s old favourite walk. Wilma went first, which was a good job as it turned out that it was still very muddy and not really very good at all. She loved it but Ari said if our Mistress didn\u2019t mind could he go to the other walk instead so he could keep his paws clean. She more than readily agreed. It must be a nightmare for the farmers as the crop they planted has been under water for over a month!<\/p>\n
