Weave Poles 101

The Guardian of the Royal Palace
 Has
Given Us a Royal Present

Yipee!  by Lady McKenzie

It is so difficult to stave off the boredom and drudgery of our everyday life at the Palace.  Sure, there is the school that we attend where we receive our continuing education at least 3 times per week.  And there are the wonderful  bike rides and long afternoon walks.  There are the regular games in the back of the Palace where flying discs and balls fill the air and we get to practice our catching techniques.    And there are the great times, like last Saturday, when I went on an expedition.  
2012 Tulsa Boxer Rescue Bark Walk
(There was a day in the Park dedicated to all the homeless Boxers of Tulsa and it was my Royal Duty to go out and support them.  I took some of them on bike rides and I think I did a lot to lift their spirits).  Then there are the times when we are left out with the Royal Gardener and we are allowed to play our own games while she toils away in the sun bringing beauty to the Royal Gardens.  But seriously, all of this put together only fills up about 5 to 6 hours in the day!  The rest of the time, we have to manage the running of the household for that old bat, Nessie the Monster.  I don't know how she ever got to be a Duchess.  She's really a grump and is always demanding that we get up and wiggle our butts (Oh dear! Pardon my French!) and get busy doing work.  I think I should be the Duchess!  I'd sure tell her!
As the eldest and the Duchess, I tend to be a disciplinarian.  Well, someone has to do it!  Those Chamberlains get away with absolute nonsense!  Ah...  Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it.....
Well, at any rate, she does keep us in wonderful gifts on the odd occasion.  And today was just one of those days!  And what a wonderful gift it was!  Both Lord Malcolm and I did not hesitate to go and take advantage of it.
