Midge and I have just got back from his invitation to visit the local
primary school to talk about our adventures, his book and Wiccaweys.
He had a ball of a time. He was SOOOOO well behaved, as he always is but especially when young children are around. I gave the talk while some children looked after him and afterwards they lined up to say hello. At one point I lost him in a crowd of admirers - he was totally mobbed and surrounded by about 20 children but he sat there in the middle just soaking up the admiration.
The head teacher gave him a goody bag of two toys and some snacks as a thank you.
The teachers who had dogs were in great admiration that a dog could be so well behaved. I demonstrated some of Midge's commands to whistle (left, right, come in and down) I was amazed that he did them without hesitation even in front of 100 kids in a hall - he has never been asked to do this before. A couple of children who are nervous of dogs were introduced to him to give him a fuss - they actually asked to meet him having seen him be so gentle.
Needless to say it was all a
moment
It was generally agreed that Midge is a complete star and a great ambassador for Wiccaweys.
