Don\u2019t tell Aristotle, but it\u2019s me that has all the fun. There was an impromptu bar b q on the village green yesterday and I got to go. I was fed up that Mum wouldn\u2019t let me off the lead so I could go in the pond with the other dogs and children, but she pointed out that until I have learnt not to run into the road then around roads I will stay on the lead. I suppose it\u2019s my own fault for not paying attention in my lessons. It was still nice to see so many people and soak up the atmosphere of our lovely village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then today I\u2019m off to the race course for a play date with my friend Bernie. I am allowed off the lead there as it\u2019s far enough from the roads and most of the time I just run and run with Bernie, except when I run off after other dogs or chase the seagulls or pigeons. I\u2019ve been looking forward to this for weeks. It\u2019s been postponed twice which has left me all the more excited about today. I don\u2019t think Bernie is quite as excited about seeing me. He prefers playing ball to chasing me, which is a shame. I chase him instead so I still end up happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum is just happy to have a few days of better weather. She said that the cold and wet was getting her down. She\u2019s a bit of a sunshine loving sort of human, which can be hard when you live in a country where the weather can be grey for days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum has told me that now we\u2019ve agreed I can\u2019t have puppies I need to think about my career path. I was rather hoping she was going to overlook that, but it seems I was mistaken. I\u2019ve decided I don\u2019t want to be a show dog long term so now I need to consider my options. I still quite fancy therapy dog but I\u2019ll have to work a bit harder at my training before I can do that. I\u2019ve promised to think about it between now and my birthday as she seems think that two years old is the point I should be growing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a good week<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n
