As I\u2019m not even a year old having 29 days in February does not seem odd to me. What I find more odd is that based on the months I have been around for there isn\u2019t going to be a 30th<\/sup> as well, or a 31st<\/sup> for that matter. Why do different months have a different number of days? Anyway, our Mistress has told me there is a tradition in this country where although historically it was normal for the boy to ask the girl to marry him, on a leap year the girl could ask the boy. I\u2019m too young to be thinking about that for now so it\u2019s not really relevant to me. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll get much say in who my future boyfriends are either as for us it works more like arranged marriages. Shadow says it\u2019s all worked out quite well for her so I\u2019ve no need to worry. Given all that is still ages away I\u2019m not even going to think about it for the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a bit anxious as tonight will be my first time in the big class at puppy training and I just know all the other dogs will be better than me and I\u2019ll have to catch up. Our Mistress has promised we\u2019ll work hard together and she\u2019s sure I\u2019ll be ok. Apart from that she says that with going to our other puppy class on Tuesdays there are lots of exercises we\u2019ve been doing where we are already ahead anyway, so she thinks I\u2019ll be fine. I\u2019ve only got two more weeks of basic puppy class on a Tuesday and then, as long as I pass, I should be starting on my bronze in Good Citizen. I\u2019m looking forward to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
