Good in places

I was good in places on my walk yesterday. Mum says that is probably the best she can say. There were six of us altogether. I didn’t get off to the best start by pushing things a bit with Albert. He told me to go away, but by then we’d tangled our leads making that difficult even if I’d had in mind taking any notice. Mum pulled me away and didn’t seem overly pleased with me.

When we set off I do admit I was a bit excited. I set off doing commando crawl along the grass. Mum just threw her hands up in despair. For the record, she seems to do that quite a lot. Anyway, she kept telling me put my paws on the ground. I walked at the front for a while, just ahead of my sister Raya. She was being well behaved. Would you believe Mum offered to swap with her humans? They, of course, said no.

Boredom threshold

My boredom threshold on a walk is low. I also go a bit hyper with all the strangeness of it all. By about half way around I just started walking a little behind Mum and head butting her legs. She was getting quite cross with me as it hurt. Of course, neither of those things stopped me. Dad asked if he should take my lead. Mum agreed but that just gave me a bit more freedom, so I started jumping up and head butting her head instead of her legs. At that point she not only took my lead back but resorted to the use of cheese to get me to walk at heel.

That might sound good, but Mum also quickened her pace and frog-marched me back to the car so she could relax with everyone else. I didn’t mind too much. Everything had got a bit much so getting into one of my ‘safe zones’ felt calming.

Mum took a picture of Raya and even I have to admit she’s rather lovely and being very well behaved. I did try, honestly. It is just so hard.

Mum also managed to get a video of me doing commando crawl around the rug, which she thought you might enjoy. I said Dad should have filmed me head butting Mum, but he didn’t think of it at the time. I guess he wasn’t really expecting me to do it.
