Friday Flashback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well it\u2019s time for Friday Flashback once again. Mum felt in need of a puppy fix. So I asked her which year we\u2019d have to go to find puppies in June. Alfie was 7 months old by June, Ari was 9 months, I was 11 months and Shadow was 4 months. As Shadow\u2019s litters were all born between September and December they weren\u2019t puppies in June either. It meant I had to look back to the year that Shadow was born, 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very important day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anyway my choice turned out to be both funny and also came up with a piece of information Mum has been looking for. Next year will be the 10th<\/sup> anniversary of the founding of the Entlebucher Mountain Dog Club of Great Britain and we all want to celebrate. What we could not remember was exactly what day it happened and now we know. It was yesterday. That is the 14th<\/sup> of June and it happened right here in Tholthorpe. How cool is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway here it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Disgrace<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I disgraced myself yesterday. I got on fine with the other dogs. I wasn\u2019t possessive about my garden. I don\u2019t know whether the other male Entlebucher or I decided which of us was top dog, but it didn\u2019t matter. I was the model of self restraint, except for one small point. I peed up the leg of the other male dog\u2019s owner. Doing it once might have been considered an innocent mistake. Doing it twice might have been considered negligent, but when I did it for a third time I was well and truly in disgrace. To be fair to him, he took it in remarkably good spirits and I did feel a little guilty that my Mistress was so embarrassed by me. I don\u2019t know what came over me really. I know that isn\u2019t acceptable behaviour when playing with humans, but I just couldn\u2019t stop myself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shadow<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the other paw, everyone fell in love with Shadow. She played with everyone and seemed to think all the other dogs were fantastic and she didn\u2019t manage to do anything disgraceful or even naughty all day. In fact now that I come to think about it, she was a right little goody four paws.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning of the Club<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n

The best bit is that we now have our very own Club in the United Kingdom, just for our type of dogs and people who are interested in us. We\u2019re going to have our own fun day in September too, as long as the humans do their bit and organise it. I\u2019m hoping that it means I shall get the opportunity of meeting even more of my type some time and I have promised faithfully to try to remember not to pee on any people. To be honest, I don\u2019t think my Mistress could cope with the embarrassment of my doing it again.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well that\u2019s all from me. Have a lovely Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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