I love Fly school

I'm so enjoying my time at doggy school these days. We go to an indoor riding school now that it gets dark at night. It is such a great place to go. It smells of all different horsey and doggy smells. Mum says my spaniel brain has kicked in, as I spend the whole lesson wagging my tail and sniffing things while I ignore her. She doesn't really mind though as the main aim is for me to be able to be nice when I see other dogs, and as I'm so busy sniffing I keep forgetting to growl at the other dogs. I even have a little friend there, she's called Treacle and because she is a spaniel she reminds me of Poppy. She helps me find the best smells and then we bounce around together.

Mum learnt something else interesting while she was at school with me. Apparently in my diet I should only have 20-25% protein. And it turns out that silly mummy has been feeding loads more protein than she realised so I've been getting about 45% protein! And protein makes me full of energy and a little bit hyperactive and snappy, so mum says no wonder I'm a pain sometimes. Unfortunately it means that me and Poppy don't get any tinned food now, we just have fish and rice flavoured biscuits. But I suppose it will be worth it if we feel calmer and happier.
Mum brought us both a present last week.We have matching purple coats now for when it gets cold. I promise I will post pictures soon, but I refused to keep it on for more than a couple of minutes as no self respecting sprollie should have to put a coat on when its 30 degrees outside.
