Watch it. Woof it. Work it.


So Gail and I are back in Nottingham again to check up on how Human Granny is settling back into her care home after her time in hospital. The good news is she's doing perhaps better than expected and when we saw her last night she even thought to ask after my paws!

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day for the long train ride down the East Coast line.
While Gail was enjoying the window view of the winter scenery, I was conducting important sentry duty in the aisle.

After all, these days one is instructed to keep an eye out and report if anything amiss on the train.

The slogan is:
See it. Say it. Sort it.

Although I think my version is better:
Watch it. Woof it. Work it.


 
 A man towing a most enormous suitcase got on at Kirkcaldy (the name of the town has the usual unnecessary number of letters in its Gaelic version) and he apologised profusely to me for disturbing me as he passed down the carriage.

You do meet the nicest people on the train.

    There are some great folks out and about, Bertie lad. Majority, I would say.

    Glad to hear HGY is doing well - makes your trip that bit more worth the making! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  3. Bertie - One day you will have yo go for a long walk at Lunan Bay. Probably the best beach on the East Coast and very quiet.

    Nothing like a visit from a Bertie to cheer up a human - of any age.

  9. Great news Bertie. Not many on the train?

    We used to let Dogs on trains in Australia too people could buy a ticket for them but now it is only the ever hard working Guide Dogs.

  11. It must be such a relief for you and Gail that Human Granny is doing well.
    I've never been on a train, or a bus - we're not allowed on public transport here.

  13. We are sure that all the travellers felt very safe with you inspecting all the passengers and their luggage. Terriers know a suspicious character.
