Waldo goes to school

OKAY, THE LITTLE TORNADO WENT TO HIS SECOND CLASS TODAY. (LAST WEEK WAS TOO HOT, SO HE HAD TO STAY HOME). TODAY WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

WE ARRIVED A FEW MINUTES LATE. THE OTHER STUDENTS WERE ALREADY IN CLASS. THIS PROMPTED WALDO TO STAND UP ON HIS DOOR AND HANG HIS HEAD OUT THE WINDOW. ( I LET IT DOWN A LITTLE WAY WHEN I PARK TO KEEP IT COOLER.)

WE JOINED THE CLASS, IN WHICH EVERYONE WAS DOING SO WELL. SOME OF THE OTHER DOGS LOOKED HAPPY TO SEE WALDO. WALDO SWEARS THAT LITTLE COCKER IS MADLY IN LOVE WITH HIM. THERE WAS A NEW STUDENT, A GOLDEN, WHO WAS DOING NICELY. WALDO ASSUMED THE INSTRUCTOR WANTED HIM TO JUMP IN THE AIR AND GIVE HER A KISS WHEN SHE APPROACHED HIM TO EXAMINE HIM. WE TOOK OUR HEEL WALK, WELL, WE TRIED.

WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR THE FIGURE 8 EXERCISES, A SPECIAL INSTRUCTION WAS GIVEN THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO BODY SLAMMING. WALDO THOUGHT THAT WAS MEANT FOR THE OTHER STUDENTS. WE MADE IT THRU THE FIGURE 8 TWICE WITH NO PROBLEM. THEN WE WERE A "POST" FOR THE OTHER DOGS TO GO AROUND. WE DID THAT NICELY.

WE HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM WITH THE "STAY" COMMAND. WE WILL WORK ON THAT.

THEN THE INSTRUCTOR ASKED IF SHE COULD EXCERCISE WALDO. WELL, WALDO WAS HAPPY OVER THIS . OFF HE WENT, LEAVING ME JUST STANDING THERE. THE LAST THING HE SAID TO ME WAS TO GET HIS PICTURE. (YES SIR, AT YOUR COMMAND SIR.) SOME OF THE PICS ARE BELOW. MISS CINDY, THE INSTRUCTOR, SAID SHE REALLY ENJOYED WALDO.

AT THE END OF THE CLASS, SHE BROUGH OUT HER CAVALIER, WHO WAS OFF LEASH AND SO ADORABLE. SHE RETRIEVED THE BALL, AND CAME WHEN CALLED. THEN ONE OF THE STANDARDS JOINED IN THE RETRIEVING. WALDO TOOK ALL THIS IN STRIDE.

AFTER CLASS, WALDO CLIMBED BACK INTO THE FRONT SEAT AND HOME WE CAME. HE WAS SO PROUD OF HIMSELF. HE SNUGGLED UP AND GAVE ME A SUGAR IN MY EAR, THEN LAID DOWN FOR THE 24 MILE TRIP HOME. BY THE TIME WE GOT HOME, HE WAS BACK IN FULL BLOWN WALDO PERSONALITY. HE BRAGGED TO ALL THE DOGS HERE AT HOME THAT HE WAS THE TEACHER'S PET.

MISS BUTTONS SAID HE SHOULD NOT BRAG SO MUCH. SHE ALSO THOUGHT THAT SHE SHOULD GO CHECK OUT THIS SITUATION. SIR JUSTICE SAID HE WAS SO WELL BEHAVED, HE DID NOT NEED SCHOOL. WALDO JUST SAID THEY WERE ALL JEALOUS. BUT HE WAS NICE ENOUGH TO OVERLOOK THE NAYSAYERS AND ALLOWED THEM TO HAVE SOME DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS.

WISH ME LUCK WHEN I EXPLAIN TO WALDO THAT HOMEWORK CONTINUES.

LATER,
