Mum went to London for the day yesterday leaving us in charge of Dad \u2013 or maybe it was Dad in charge of us. Everything was fine, we all behaved perfectly, Dad included, as you would expect. It’s Mum you have to worry about. She’s taking her ability to control technology in the house from a remote location way too seriously. When she got back on the train to come home she made ‘Hello, is it me you’re looking for’ play at full volume in the lounge, even though she was still 200 miles away. It would have been a much better joke if anyone had been in the lounge at the time and as it turned out only me and Shadow heard it, but the thought was there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve been sitting down making our New Year\u2019s Resolutions. Mum always gets a bit carried away and comes up with loads, but I\u2019ve decided to make just one. My resolution is to pass my Silver Good Citizen Test. I\u2019m sure if I try hard I can do it. Shadow says she\u2019s above making resolutions and is just going to go on being herself. Alfie says it\u2019s enough for him to resolve to still be here to make another resolution next year and Aristotle is resolving to be nice to Alfie. Mum says I will have to start working on my resolution by doing some ordinary training and that if things go to plan I can start going back to my classes from next week. What I really need to do is find ways to stop myself getting bored in between the exercises. I know deep down I can be a good dog, but it\u2019s just so hard when it\u2019s not my turn to take part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, here\u2019s hoping you all have a good new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n
