Full Moon

Hello

I have been a bit of a naughty boy for the last few days - Mummy says I always am around the Full Moon - awooooooooo!

I met Loki the Husky Cross and mini Cooper the JRT who belong to Auntie Geri's daughter, Alex. Cooper gave Mummy a big toothy grin and showed me his tummy. Loki just kind of did his own thing but there was too much sharing of Mummy's attention for my liking so, half way through the walk, and after she had patted Loki twice, I started to chase him in the growly way I used to play with Emily - Mummy says that other dogs don't like this and I am not to do it. She made us turn around and walk a different way while Auntie Geri and Alex continued their walk - little did she know that she had played right into my paws as I was getting a longer walk and getting her to myself. Tee hee.

Today, we walked with Auntie Geri and Melody and I was good most of the time, apart from chewing on Melo's ears (which gets attention from both the People - which is good!). When we reached the road, I was pulling because I didn't like them being in front so Auntie Geri went off again so Mummy could "use this as a training opportunity" and Mummy wouldn't let me walk forward at all unless I walked nicely. Both of my people are starting to be really strict about that and Mummy says that I am getting to be all grown up now and therefore I need to learn to be 'at least a bit' sensible. Harrumph!

Mummy should hear about whether she gets to keep her job next week so please keep your fingers and paws crossed for her. She says that even though she gets fed up sometimes, she enjoys helping patients and anyway, it pays well for part-time work and I am used to the routine and she has lots of friends there so she does want to keep her job.

regards to all,
