Just as you start to think you can put your winter coat away, or in my case, shed it all over the carpet, then it turns cold again and you have to go round picking it up and trying to get it to stick back on. I did overdo it a bit, running around in the sunshine, so I\u2019m thinking of a couple of days of hibernation under the duvet until it warms up again. I need to conserve all the energy I can, I\u2019ve been threatened with dog training on Monday night. I don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s better or worse that the training is in sight of our house. On the one paw I will be able to point out to the other dogs where I live and I am rather proud of it, but on the other paw, it is going to be tough being able to see the house in which there is a duvet calling my name and instead have to stand in a field doing as I\u2019m told. My Mistress had a bit of a discussion about a \u2018dog training\u2019 book that\u2019s she\u2019s got. It has a section on problems with your dog. There is a bit listing \u2018Why does my dog do as he is told in class but not at home?\u2019 She tried looking for the section \u2018Why does my dog do as he\u2019s told at home but not in class?\u2019 but there didn\u2019t seem to be one. I said to her that it\u2019s good to be different. She\u2019s just grateful that I don\u2019t wear sports kit, riding kit and all the other paraphernalia of a twelve year old. My poor Mistress says she never wants to see another load of washing in her life and that was before James announced that his cricket kit had got dirty. When he did say it needed to be put in bleach, he was a bit put out when my Mistress told him that in that case he would need to buy some next time he was in the supermarket.<\/p>\n
