My mistress threw it quite well and it sort of hung on the air, which gave me time to run round to the other side and get my mouth into just the right position. I couldn\u2019t believe it to begin with and ran round in circles with excitement. It just goes to show you that with enough practice you can do almost anything. I think it will be a while before I catch it every time, although that partly depends on whether my mistress is more consistent in her throwing. She says it is my fault that it sometimes goes sideways, something to do with the way I have chewed it. But I said to her \u201ca bad workman always blames his tools\u201d. I\u2019m not actually sure what it means but I have heard my master saying it and I thought it sounded good.<\/p>\n<p>I discovered that with a little bit of help, and some rather odd manoeuvring, I can actually get into the hammock with my mistress. She has to counterbalance my weight as I get in, and all my subsequent shifting about once I am there, but it turns out it is rather fun. I\u2019m ok as long as my mistress keeps hold of me so that I don\u2019t accidentally roll out, or for that matter roll her out. We had one nasty moment when I forgot where I was, and seeing someone across the garden, going past our gate, I leapt out to go and bark at them. Well my poor mistress had to react very quickly to grab hold of the frame to stop her being rotated out of the hammock onto the floor. Realising what I had done, I went back and apologised and said I would try to remember not to do that again but please would she let me join her up there again sometime. She has said she will see, so as it wasn\u2019t a \u2018no\u2019 I am taking that as a good sign.<\/p>\n<p>Well having got hold of the map, and after a while working out which way round to hold it, (it\u2019s so much easier when you have it upside down) I managed to work out where the little girl who has mole\u2019s ring lives. It turns out it is not that far from the park we sometimes go to so I may be able to go after all. I would have rather had Nicole or Harry go with me, well Nicole really, I think her cute looks would help. However, needs must, so I will just have to try myself. The great things with children is that they think it much less odd when an animal talks to them, somehow in the process of growing up humans become very strange about this sort of thing, well most of them anyway. I think my best chance will be this weekend when my master is away and my mistress has a friend staying. I\u2019m sure her friend would love to take the lovely puppy to the park. (That\u2019s me if you hadn\u2019t worked it out!)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The most exciting piece of news is that I actually managed to catch the frisbee yesterday.
