The latest adventure is going for walks.  My little legs get tired quickly.  I wish my owners had read that page in the book before and not after they took me out.  I love meeting my new friends in the park, both human and canine, and loads of people know my name already.  My owners have lived here for 25 years and never spoken to these people before - very strange.  I've a great trick when I've had enough.  I lie on the ground with my legs splayed out.  It's like I've been glued to the floor and there is no shifting me.  Let's hope they don't read the page in the book on how to solve that little problem for a while.  I'm told I'm being taken to Puppy Training Class starting next week.  On one hand I'm looking forward to it, meeting new friends, but I somehow feel I may not get my own way as easily from there on in.  I'll let you know how it goes.

A smashing border collie pup called Shadow is therefore my companion in the day time and the centre of attention and conversations in the evenings.  His parent's are big on agility training and his grandfather was Llangwm Bob, World Sheepdog champion; a lot for a little ball of fur to live up to.  He's looking forward to climbing some mountains when he gets bigger. He loves his walks and play but is incredibly greedy and snaffles continuously. Given that we have just found a condom in his poo, it looks like he may be training himself to be an international drug smuggler rather than a sheepdog.
