To add insult to injury, she didn't even listen to my suggestion that she should write it from a canine perspective. And then she ignored all the stuff she tells me, about not writing too much 'cos folk won't have the time to read it.
In the unlikely event you want to read her long-winded (and somewhat idiosyncratic) account of the 'Five Countries' cycling trip - and I have to warn you it contains absolutely no mention of dogs, not even 'Wotan' - you can click here.
And in case you have forgotten what I look like, here is a photo of me, all bedraggled after my morning walk in heavy rain.
Sometimes the world is a tough place, Bertie. Can't believe that Gail can write a treatise without mentioning you....even how much she missed you.

Wow our Dad would want to hear about a 5 countries cycling trip, he is nutso about bicycles. Parents, sheesh! We however would rather hear about you!

I had a quick look at that report Bertie - and you were right - no mention of us woofers anywhere!! It made me a little sleepy too. Don't worry about bein' a bit damp - but if she starts running' the bath taps......hide under the bed.

OMD... WHAT is up with your GAIL. I can not believe that after leaving you fur like 87 days and NIGHTS.. she refuses to do thingys the way you want.. and then she dared to
ReplyDeleteDRAGGLE you out into the pouring rain!!! I think you need to come live with Ernie and ME (Frankie Furter).
Oh my what is wrong with her???

Bertie - You could easily have sat in a basket on the handlebars !
ReplyDeleteOh little Bertie, what one earth is Gail thinking!
ReplyDeleteBad enough that she is too busy for your blog but she takes you out in the rain. Does she not have a hairdryer to blow dry your furs?
The human wants to go read what she has been writing but we are not sure we should allow it if there are no dogs.........!
Down be down hearted little Bertie, the only way is up!
Much love
The Aunties xxxx
I'm not supposed to be here either, Humans are just rubbish aren't they mate?! Deccy x
ReplyDeleteBertie, If you and the others are all finished whining about one thing or another, I'd like to say my Mom read Gail's report to me and it sounded like a wonderful thing to do. To have all these pals and go biking around Europe, and still be friends at the end. One poor fellow got hurt, but it sounds like not too serious.
ReplyDeleteHow would you like it if 16 of us dogs, just got to run that far together. We would love it and you know it.
Kisses,
Stella
Oh Bertie, we can see the neglect on your little face. That's right little mate, keep up the sad face. You will soon have Gail feeling so guilty she will be eating out of your paw, or is that, you will be eating out of her hand? Oh well, whatever, either way, you win! No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteBertie,
ReplyDeleteAt least she didn't post it on your blog, right? As if! Like having you talk about an adventure from which you were excluded.
Slobbers,
Mango
Oh Bertie, this is just NOT right! How could a bike trip be as fun, entertaining and fabulous as life with you! I don't buy it for a second!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
P.S.: My assistant may pop over and read your assistant's story.
Bertie, they never listen then they expect us too
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
oh Bertie sad to hear it, But I'm sure next time Ms. Gail will write on your blog, just remind her.

Hi, Bertie,
ReplyDeleteGail's account of her cycling trip is hilarious! It is upsetting, as you remark, that it contains 'absolutely no mention of dogs' :)
Keep on wagging,
Tootsie
Hi Bertie, I have been reading your blog for a bit and finally felt the moment was right for a first comment! My human and myself have the same problem: we write too much! And then, my human acts all surprised cause no one would comment, but i know that it's because we're writing a blog, not a novel! By the way, my humans loves how your blog is about dogs and science! They are studying Environment & Sustainability at Keele, so really, your blog is about everything they love!
ReplyDeleteWell Bertie what can I say, words fail me. I'm just gald you are out of boot camp and back to blogging in a fashion.
ReplyDeleteDid Gail get saddle sore?
Have a good week
Its raining cats and dogs down here, not seen any WFT's
See yea George xxx
Surely Gail rubbed you dry with a nice, soft towel after your wet walk? It's our impression it rains about 300 days a year in Scotland, so we expect you're used to wet walks.
ReplyDeleteMama is all eager to go read about Gail's trip. When she was MUCH younger, mama used to bike with her Danes, but only for local rides. Has Gail ever taught you to run along side her bike, so you could go for a nice ramble in the country? Of course, she should have a basket on the bike in case you get tired and need a lift home.
Jed & Abby
Jed and Abby, I absolutely hate, loath and detest bicycles, and will not come within 20 yards of one. No way am I going to run alongside Gail's bike or sit in a basket. Believe me she's tried to make me several times, but thankfully has now given up!
DeleteBertie.
Well done Gail- I only managed to get around the block on my bike recently!
ReplyDeleteI have nominated you for the "Leibster award"-it is a bit of fun. You can read about it here

BOL! Well Bertie looks as though you're having a bit of a ruff time of it lately ;) You know, that wet look is really quite becoming on you ;)

hey Bertie,
ReplyDeleteI think the females like the bedraggled look in males - gives the vibe of the "bad boy." BOL!
Sorry you have had such a tough time of late. I hope Gail has all that bicycle nonsense out of her now so she can focus 100% on you. My human has started bike riding again. Silvius is silly enough to follow her but not me. So, I feel your pain, Bertie!
