It\u2019s Friday flashback again and as I\u2019m going to spend most of\ntoday in the car that will definitely be the more interesting thing to talk\nabout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How about this from 2011. This was when Aristotle was just a\ntwinkle in Shadow\u2019s eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow has arrived in Switzerland. She has a rest day today\nbefore going to meet the stud dog and she is getting very nervous. She is\nexcited too and just hopes she likes him. I glazed over a little when she\nstarted telling me the sorts of things she and Megan have been discussing. It\nhas reached the stage of wanting to discuss girly things, like how to do her\nhair and whether he would think she looked nice. I tried to explain that none\nof that was likely to be the first thing on his mind, but the girls said I was\njust being mean. They don\u2019t understand boys at all. We aren\u2019t the nice\ncreatures that girls have us down for. Romance, and getting to know each other\naren\u2019t that high on our agenda. We just smell those pheromones and our brains\nbecome like jelly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then Alfie was all excited the following year. This is from\n2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Never mind the fact that I have a free six weeks supply of a joint care product that is also very tasty from the lovely people at Pedigree Pet Foods, that is just incidental to the beautiful yellow rucksack with my name embroidered on it. To be fair, it is a human rucksack and I am having difficulty putting it on, but that is not the point. I\u2019d much rather my Mistress carried everything for me than have to do it myself anyway. I\u2019ve got a ball thrower and some balls too and a I\u2019m not sharing them with the others. They are mine, all mine and I\u2019m a very happy dog. I\u2019m slightly alarmed by the fact that I am going to be videoed playing ball. I may have to suck my tummy in for the photos but then we all know the camera adds 10 pounds so I\u2019m sure allowances will be made. My Mistress said she\u2019d read all the paperwork to me later and then we can make a start. I\u2019m really rather excited. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The delivery man didn\u2019t know whether he should ask for me in dogson when he came to the door, seeing as the parcel was technically addressed to me. I did offer to sign but he didn\u2019t seem to know how to react to that. I think he was worried he might be in trouble back at the depot. Some people don\u2019t know how to let their hair down and live a little.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Right well I\u2019m off to have a sleep in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a lovely Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A RuckSack with My Name<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
