Fun Day

Yesterday was such a good day. It was the annual meeting and fun day for the Entlebucher club, and I  finally got to see my sisters Aida and Annie again. Annie has quite a loud voice and likes to use it. I'm so used to being the loudest dog around that she scared me a little at first, even though she is a lot smaller than me, but then Aida turned up and proclaimed  herself top dog. Aida was quite bossy at first, but as soon as she was pleased with everyone's behaviour we had a good sniff and play in the field. I'm not so sure the two girls liked each other very much though, but I've been told by other dogs that's quite normal. I let the girls believe they were in charge yesterday as I didn't want to cause an argument on our first family reunion, but next time I might just sit them down and explain why I should be top dog. I'm sure they will understand.

My friend Alfie, who also writes a blog, was there too with his two girls Megan and Shadow. I sat next to Megan during the meeting and we had a bit of a sniff while our humans were busy talking. She is really quite nice and very cute and we caught up on the latest gossip.

 Later, I had a chance to talk to 'the other' Alfie. We shared some blogging ideas and talked about what a wonderful name we both share, before he told me off a little. I think he sees it as his duty to make sure us Entle pups grow up well behaved so I listened to his advice and calmed down.

My humans took hundreds of photos - but their camera let them down a little. Trying to be clever, they had used the 'running man' setting, thinking that would be perfect for shooting fast running dogs. Turns out it doesn't really work so well on group shots as the camera decided to focus on the background, leaving all faces blurry. No one asked for my advice, but then again I was too busy sniffing bottoms and playing with my new friends. They've saved all the photos on Flickr in case you want to have a look or download some photos from the day.

All in all it was a superb day out and I slept all the way back to London and through the evening, I only opened my eyes for long enough to have dinner and then I slept until the alarm clock went off at seven this morning. Funnily enough the alarm clock sounds an awful lot like an Entlebucher puppy whining and it always goes off as soon as the sun goes up. The humans are not as amused as I am....
