 | On New Friends and General Busy-ness |
I have been making new friends. Joanna took us all away for the weekend to a new house where we met her "in laws." There was a dalmatian, who I don't think was very keen on me, despite my cute waggling of my bottom, and my bouncing sideways at her. However there was also Wilis. He is in the picture above and he adored me - we played for ages and ages until I got a bit grumpy and Joanna picked me up and carried me. I of course said I didn't want to be carried, but I was very tired by that point!
I made more new friends at puppy training. I was very good at the behaviours (sit, down, stand and heel), so much so my homework has got harder! However I wanted to go and play with the other puppies, so I barked and danced and generally made lots of noise. I still didn't get to go and play - well at least not until later.
Later this week I am going to meet lots of people from The Forestry Commission - they are the incredibly important people who look after Salcey Forest - I am excited about that, but I have been told I need to be on my best behaviour! I am also going to be attending a "skills sharing session" for leaders in Forest Schools and outdoor education on Friday (join me if you too work outside with children - like me!)
So all in all I have a busy life. However Joanna tells me that I need to sleep and do nothing sometimes. She is often impressed at how I can sleep more or less anywhere, and tells me that unlike many people I am very clever as I sleep when I am tired - so enjoy things more when I am awake. She says that people like her sometimes try to do lots of things and don't always stop when they need to, as they think that doing things is the most important thing in the world, and it is wrong not to keep going and be very busy. Sleeping then gets limited and they wake up tired!!! How silly is that? I know sleep is very, very important, as is just sitting and doing nothing. It really helps me when I want to do something important like learn how to open the stair gate...
