I\u2019m ashamed. I asked Mum last week to cut all the loose ends of my beautiful woven collar. Oh I know I shouldn\u2019t have got it into this state, but I can\u2019t seem to help it. Anyway, I\u2019ve asked her several times if she\u2019d mind getting the scissors out and trimming it to look tidy. I\u2019d do it myself by I just can\u2019t vet my paw around the scissors handle and Mum says I\u2019m dangerous with a knife. The point is, she didn\u2019t get around to it. Now here I am amongst lots of dogs with lovely smart collars and frankly I look shabby in comparison. Thankfully the yellow paint has worked its way off my fur, but my collar is not looking smart. I shall have words with Mum when I get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the plus side I have been running wild with Labradors, Spaniels and oh so many lovely dogs. Ari is trying to keep up, but bless him there\u2019s not really much hope of that. I just love having so many friends to run with. It\u2019s one of the things I\u2019ve really missed while Mum has been shielding at home during the pandemic. At heart I\u2019m a very sociable dog. Shadow is happier in her own company. Ari mainly likes going off after the girls. Me \u2013 I\u2019ll run with anyone. I just love to run. I am missing Mum, but I\u2019m happy too. What\u2019s the point in moping? If you do that you just miss out on the fun you could be having.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve been checking in with Mum to make sure she is all right without us. She says it\u2019s awfully quiet but she\u2019s ok. The sheep are all behaving without me to bark at them and the birds are making the most of their undisturbed garden time. I hope they don\u2019t all get too settled. They won\u2019t be pleased when I\u2019m home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilma is ashamed of how tatty her collar is. She is surrounded by such handsome dogs at the moment.
