A Trainer Calls......

Well it never rains but it pours, but hopefully the grass will now start to grow again and there will be more in the field for us to eat!

Now on Friday, which I have to say was rather wet and miserable in this neck of the woods, we were suddenly brought in around three by The Mrs and The Gaffer to our stables. Now this was a funny time in itself so that was out of the ordinary. But not only that - on the way in from the field we had to pass no less than three new obstacles down by the cricket field, large (and I mean large), red bags full of stuff that were rustling in the wind. Did this bother us? Not a bit. I led the way and after a moment's hesitation Lou Lou followed - good or what. Then we got into our stables - to our horror no food, just hay - and there was all this growling and squeaking going on and we couldn't work out where it was coming from. I must admit it was all a bit scary to start with, and we were a bit upset for about 10 minutes, but then we calmed down and got used to it. We worked out eventually that the puppies were in the stable next door, as it was raining and they couldn't be outside, and there was no need for us to worry.



But that wasn't the end of it - after we had been dried off and tidied up The Gaffer and The Mrs came back with The Trainer - or at least my Trainer! He'd come to inspect me as he hadn't been able to come when we were on show before. Now I have to say this was all a bit tense making - I mean would he like me????? Well I needn't have worried. I heard him tell The Gaffer and The Mrs that I was in excellent condition and well forward (whatever that means) and that he liked the look of me and my 'good legs with lots of bone'. Well judging by everyone's faces this was all good and I will be going to Summerdown to be trained. Now I like the sound of that - Summerdown - it sounds rather romantic and beautiful - just like me!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, I have to be honest here and tell you that he said some nice things about LouLou too - but this week its my story.

Well after all that excitement it will take us, and especially me, a few days to come back down to earth - my Trainer liked me! Meeeeeeeee.......

Love Thelma
