Nice to know

It is lovely to know my old friends are thinking about me.

I can do a trick!

I've been getting lots of treats but it is getting much harder. At first I just had to look at mum and hey presto a treat. Then I did a play bow and now I have to actually lie down. Mum says I need a proper sign and not just seeing a treat but I can tell she is very pleased with me.

Been out running

Well when mum finally figured out how to get our harnesses on, we tried out a new game. Instead of me and Muffy having to wait for old slow coach mum, she went a little bit faster than usual - she called it running but I ask you..... Well we ran nearly half a mile to the park and then walked round and walked home. Muffy is a lurcher so she was fine but I was a bit tired doing all that walking, not used to it. I'm sure I will get used to it. Of course old Ollie didn't even come with us, he gets puffed on the normal walk.
Must get back to sleep now...

Forgot to say

Also I don't pull when there aren't any rabbits, which seems obvious to me but mum was surprised that I was so well behaved between Tesco's car park and the vets.

Been to the vets

We were going to have a lovely long walk, just me and mum to the vet but we drove because the weather was so bad. I was very good in the car. I didn't like getting weighed much and wouldn't get on the scales but mum lifted me up so that was ok. I was 28 kilos which must mean I am all muscle because I don't look that big. The nice vet lady was ok until she poked my back - how that stops me getting lost I don't know. Saw lots of little dogs and 2 proper sized dogs. The little ones were quite funny, mostly jack russells and spaniels but some funny things in boxes were chihuahuas (mum said they were the noisiest). Met a grumpy male greyhound but he seemed to quite like me luckily because mum insisted on saying hello. Apparently I am going back sometime to have an operation - I hope they taste nice. I am a nice surprise because I don't hop out of the car when the back door is opened. Well I had got comfy. Well lots of sleeping to do now.

Why are some days different?

We got up a bit late today and then later everyone went out. Of course I'd been out a couple of times but how was I to know that I was meant to go. They came back but how was I to know when they would, I just needed to go... I thought I was getting the hang of this as well. Why isn't every day the same?

training?

Well today we went out in the car to visit a man called a dog trainer but he wasn't going to teach me to race. I was assessed and although he was very nice he thought I needed a bit of work before I joined the class. I could have private lessons but they cost a lot of money so mum is going to have to start on her own. She shows me the treats then waits until I look at her then she gives me a treat. Silly game but I do get treats out of it.

Almost forgot to say that I was very good in the car.
