Disappointment

I was supposed to be starting agility classes today, and was going to tell you all about it, but Mum says it’s been cancelled cos it’s so wet. It’s been raining lots and lots here. We’ve been lucky though – we’ve hardly been rained on at all on walks. It’s ever so muddy and wet everywhere though, and today there was lots of water in the stream. I tried going in it, but it was rushing past my legs so fast I didn’t really like it, so came out again.

Anyway, now I have to wait a whole week to start my agility class. I hope I like it – it all sounds a bit energetic to me. But there will be other dogs there, so it won’t be all bad.

I’ve had quite a good time since I wrote about Tyson. First of all walks have got a lot better, as most of the time I’m allowed to run off the lead now. Mum and Dad say I’m getting much better behaved off the lead, so they let me off more and more. Mum lets me off more than Dad. If I find something interesting to sniff then I tend to get left behind and have to run after her, but she never goes too far away. We’ve also been for much longer walks across the heath. I’ve been quite worn out when I get home. There was one place though where there were two big GSD’s in a garden along the Roman Road, and they barked and barked at me. They weren’t very friendly at all and I got scared.

The best walks recently though have been when I’ve met Bailey. She’s a couple of months younger than me and is a border collie / spaniel cross. Last Saturday we’d just got to the heath when we met her, and we were allowed to play together for over an hour! We had great fun dashing around, going in lots of boggy places and digging in the mud. We were so dirty we had to go to the stream in the end to wash all the mud off. I met her again in the week but her Mum was in a hurry so we only had a short play that day.

I’ve been over to Eric’s as well, and we went out walking on a different heath. So this is me up on Burton Heath.



Then on Wednesday this week Eric came over to lunch. I was really pleased to see him. In the afternoon he came with me and Mum for a walk at Upton Country Park. And I heard Mum invite him and Pat over next Friday cos it’s my birthday! I don’t know if we’re having a party but I hope there’ll be cake. I like cake.
