Expelled!

Mummy told me she got an email from Janet (the dog training lady) to say I had been expelled from puppy classes.

I'm not sure if she expected me to be upset by this news but I couldn't have been more delighted. Although Mrs Janet is my friend and I like her very much I HATE puppy training. It's full of jumpy, yappy little dogs - and before you say it, I may be little but I am NOT yappy - I've got a really solid bark and I'm not afraid to use it. Not like this other Westie that goes there. It's got really long hair and it's really fluffy so it looks like it's been in the tumble dryer. And it has the most awful squeaky little bark - it sounds more like my squeaky duck than a dog. Gives the breed a bad name I tell you. And what's worse is that, while mummy tries to distract me from growling at all the other dogs by feeding me Pepperami, this Westie's owner keeps letting go of its lead, then it comes bouncing over and jumps on me, squeaking all the way. So who would blame me for reacting with a growl and a bit of a nip??? Well, everyone apparently. Not my fault - she started it :-(

Anyway, it turns out that I haven't actually been expelled - Mrs Janet thinks I'd do better in a smaller class with older dogs. Clearly I am far too advanced for "puppy" training :-) So we're joining the new class on Saturday - mum says I need to be on my best behaviour...hmmm, we'll see.
