Extra classes
Pebbles is starting her extra classes today. It means she’s going to dog training twice in one day. The downside of that is that Mum will be out for more of the day than I like, but Dad’s around, so it’s not all bad.
The other downside is that Mum has asked me to give some serious thought to how I can make it work being around Pebbles more. I kind of hoped that whole problem could be ignored. Mum says that Pebbles is big enough now that we ought to be able to work things out between us. It’s an odd one. I. was only thinking earlier in the day that I miss having a buddy. I was lying in the shade watching Mum work in the garden. In the past Ari would have been there too and we’d have chewed the day’s problems over together. Maybe I could do that with Pebbles if she’d ever sit still.
Making the garden safe
Our biggest worry is making the garden safe for Pebbles. Mum is worried she will eat something she shouldn’t have or that she will go in the pond. Both of those are big risks. She’s not a small puppy anymore. There does come a point at which she has to make decisions for herself and if they are the wrong ones then we just have to sort them out. Mum finds it hard not to wrap us up in cotton wool. It’s one of those things that it’s almost worse to know what the risks are than to be ignorant of them. I guess it would help if Pebbles mastered her recall. Maybe being out and about with me would help on that one. I always come back. I might talk it through with Dad while Mum’s out and see what he thinks. He doesn’t worry as much as Mum does.
Love and woofs
