Training Day
In two weeks’ time we have a training day for our Club Fun Day. I just hope I’m out of this cone so I can take part. We’re going to learn some of the moves needed for dancing with dogs. I’m one paw ahead there as Mum and I dance when she’s in Kitchen Karaoke mood. Generally we dance to things like ‘Rock Around the Clock’ but I at least know about going backwards when she comes toward me and going toward her when she goes backwards. I suspect I’ll be working with Dad rather than Mum as Pebbles will want to partner Mum.
When it comes to dancing, Pebbles is ahead of me in one regard. She can balance on two legs and so can waltz with Mum. Ari used to do that all the time, but I’ve never quite managed it. I used to be able to do a paw stand on my front paws and lift my back right off the ground, but somehow down the years I’ve lost that skill.
Old friends
The fun day will be up near where we used to live. I’m hoping to see some of our old friends while I’m there, which would be lovely. What will be funny is showing our old village to Pebbles. It just seems strange that somewhere that was such a big part of mine, Ari’s, Shadow’s and Alfie’s lives will be completely strange to Pebbles. She’s enthusiastic about almost everything, so I’m guessing she’ll like it.
Thinking about it, she’s not so enthusiastic about food. She has gone off her current food. Mum gave her some of her old food that she went off a few weeks ago and she ate that quite happily. I have no idea what goes on in that puppy’s head. How can you go off food?
Love and licks
