<\/a>Anyway, Wilma is fed up at not being able to go for a walk and is bitterly disappointed that she has been offered a place on her bronze course but can\u2019t accept as she would miss too many weeks of it. Now it means she won\u2019t start until June, but our Mistress has promised she can learn loads of tricks by then instead. She\u2019s almost ready to do her next video and as a surprise present our Mistress has bought her a book of 101 dog tricks to learn. Our Master thinks one of us should learn the trick on page 75 \u2013 go to the fridge, get a beer and bring it to him. They have a separate fridge with the drinks in, so you would think that should be safe for the food, except for two things. We\u2019re bright enough to work out that the same principle will apply to any door and secondly I like beer and if anyone tries teaching me to do that they will simply find me in my crate with my paws up drinking the beer I have retrieved. It\u2019s up to them whether it is worth taking that risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow is on a \u2018one month to get in shape\u2019 campaign. She and Wilma will be attending their first dog show in just a month\u2019s time and our Mistress has suggested to Shadow that it would not do any harm for her to lose a kilo or two in preparation. She has been a fairly steady weight in her adult life so she is of the opinion that losing some is unnecessary. Anyway, she is on a slight diet and getting increased exercise. To be fair, our Mistress is trying to do the same for herself, not for the show you understand but just because she needs to. Wilma is fed up as her food has been reduced while she can\u2019t go for walks. I just help myself if I feel hungry \u2013 but don\u2019t tell anyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
