Anyway, I\u2019ve been\nlooking back to find out what I\u2019ve missed out on and what I\u2019ve forgotten. To be\nhonest, I don\u2019t forget much but Mum often needs reminding, so here goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was Alfie\u2019s take on the Fun Day we had 8 years ago in\n2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Why Return a Ball?<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sunday\u2019s Entlebucher fun day was amazing. The most exciting\nbit was meeting Apple the Appenzeller. I\u2019ve never played with an Appenzeller\nbefore she was really rather lovely. It was good to see some of my old friends\ntoo. Guapo hasn\u2019t been so well, but he\u2019s recovering. He hasn\u2019t been so ill that\nhe can\u2019t beat me at biscuit catch which is the game I thought I was good at\nuntil I watched him. He\u2019s a master. I\u2019ve asked if we can practice more at home,\nbut my Mistress said I\u2019ve have to stop being so lazy first, otherwise I\u2019ll put\non weight.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The girls ran round all day. I find it incredible how long\nsome dogs will simply go after a ball. There comes a point where you really\nshould be turning round to your human and saying \u2018Will you stop being so\nstupid. If you lose it one more time I am not going to go and bring it back for\nyou and it will all end in tears!\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the following year it turns out that Aunty Megan used to\nbe naughty too! This is from 2012<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Megan in the Dog House<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>She says it is not her fault. She says that she was driven to it. I think she is pleading temporary insanity and I have to say she may well have a point. Firstly she has been stuck indoors for ages. Secondly she has bandage glued to her paw with more plaster than is reasonable. Thirdly she has had to wear a pink boot and finally she has been forced to listen to an incessant loop of dreadful music on a computer game that was left on when Andy went to school. My Mistress says that the music alone would be enough to make her go mad, but the thing is Megan has chewed off her pink boot. She\u2019s done it in a way that no one is ever going to be able to wear it ever again. The pink boot has gone to the place in the sky known as pink boot heaven, where together with pink wellingtons and other such dreadful footwear it can be pink to its heart\u2019s content. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Megan is bootless. It did come as a pair, so there is still one in the cupboard but when she gets a liking for chewing something there is a risk she isn\u2019t going to stop at one. My Mistress has said she will leave the paw unwrapped for a few hours to see how Megan does. She can\u2019t afford to hurt it again as if it doesn\u2019t heal she may end up losing the toe.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Well that\u2019s all from me. I\u2019m a bit tired from my day in\nday care yesterday so I\u2019m going to lounge around with my paws up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Friday Flashback Where would I be without Friday Flashback?
