It seems moving at faster than a walk may become a more regular habit, if you can call two days a habit. We went to the same place as yesterday, which I have not got bored with yet and when we got to the tarmacked stretch my Mistress broke into a slow jog. She says we\u2019ll try again tomorrow and see if we can get a little further. I didn\u2019t like to point out that today (which was tomorrow when she said it) is swimming day so we won\u2019t actually be going for a walk. She is going later to see Cinders but that won\u2019t involve running as it\u2019s rough ground and I don\u2019t think she\u2019s ready for that. She is discussing with Shadow how her paw is and whether she wants to go or let Ari see Cinders instead.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been doing a very good job of writing my manifesto. It\u2019s coming along quite well. I\u2019ve got to let my reader panel have a look soon to see what they think. When I say my \u2018reader panel\u2019 that is my Mistress, Master and Granny. They help tell me if I have the spellings correct and whether I\u2019ve missed out anything important. I\u2019m just a bit worried that they may see me as too much of an activist and disagree with some of what I\u2019ve written. That\u2019s the thing in politics, it isn\u2019t always possible to be popular. You have to stand up for what you believe in, even in the face of criticism. I\u2019m not one of these wishy-washy politicians who change their mind every five minutes. Although, regrettably I am all too easily bribed with food, but then which dog isn\u2019t? You don\u2019t need brown envelopes stuffed with money when you are dealing with a dog, just a small piece of meat will do it. For a whole steak they will argue black is white and change their political party.<\/p>\n
