Friday flashback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s me again with a Friday Flashback. Honestly you have to despair of humans. This did make me laugh from when Alfie was nearly three years old in 2008<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter clothes<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the moment there seems to be no limit to my smugness. Concluding that the weather is now unlikely to improve, my Mistress said that to give herself a little more space she would pack away her summer clothes in a suitcase and make room for her winter clothes. On the face of it this seems quite reasonable, even to a dog. Unfortunately life is never quite as simple as you\u2019d like. She began to think about where her winter clothes were. Then all of a sudden she remembered. At the point she was packing all her winter clothes away they were just putting the furniture from our old house into storage, because we are short of space where we are now. My Mistress in one of her \u2018brighter\u2019 moments, thought it would be a good idea to put her winter clothes into storage with them. After all, the plan was to have it all redelivered to the new house this month. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The logic is basically sound, had they not changed their mind about which house they were buying and decided to do an extension before moving in. It means that everything won\u2019t come out of store until after the extension, including my Mistress\u2019s winter clothes. She now estimates she will next see them in time for next summer! So this winter, whilst I have the benefit of a fur coat, my Mistress will be sporting short sleeved tee shirts and shorts.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2010<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The other one I found almost led to me being impressed until Alfie told me the whole story. This is from 2010 when my Aunt Megan was sitting her Gold Exam in the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme. I\u2019ll tell you what happened next after you\u2019ve read what Alfie wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megan goes for Gold<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Megan is sitting her gold award test tonight. She hasn\u2019t gone in the hope of passing and my Mistress  doesn\u2019t really think she will either. She is very good at almost all the exercises but there are two that just don\u2019t go right any time that they do them. One is the \u2018send to bed\u2019. Megan does it at home every night of her life. All my Mistress has to say is \u2018bed\u2019 and off she trots. However when it comes to dog training for reasons that Megan is unable to explain, she hears the word \u2018bed\u2019 and immediately thinks \u2018play\u2019 and gets all excited. Now I can understand any dog getting excited about the prospect of snuggling down into the corner of a comfy bed, but I would have thought it made sense to get into it before showing your excitement. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it turns out the whole story was even worse than Alfie feared. Not only did Megan get excited at that point she actually jumped up and bit Mum. At that point she was disqualified. The sad part was that they did that as the very first exercise she it was all over pretty quickly. It made me wonder if I would do any better and I\u2019m going to talk to Mum about whether I should try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, that\u2019s all for now<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
