Thank heavens I have a free hour before my meeting…a morning walk is so important for one's sanity…I do wish Bertie were here too….oh look what a cute Lhasa Apso…I wonder if Bertie misses me as much as I miss him…my what a lot of grey squirrels thrive in Central London….and ducks, geese, swans, gulls and, of course, pigeons…now I see a husky, poor creature, I don't think this is the right place for him…the London air smells sour this morning... not even the Queen over there in Buckingham Palace can escape it… now, we have a sparky wee terrier….and a rather sad looking golden lab…what a lot of leaves on the ground just now...I do hope Dad had a comfy night in hospital...and now this is exactly the place where I once nearly cycled into the then Foreign Secretary (Douglas Hurd) en route to work…can't spot any politicians I recognise this morning…but it's Bertie's happy, eager little face I really want to see…

Gorgeous! Im sure you miss him so much I do see quite a few WFT in manhattan when I visit, none in New Jersey so far. I imagien with lots of exercise they are just fine. One I saw regularly was always bounding across the dog park. Some day when I retire.
ReplyDeleteI send best wishes to your dad too. IT must be very hard wiht all the changes he has faced. My dad passed young and the one thing Im greatful for is there was no prolonged stay in the hospital, but in all the pictures your dad does look happy

Aww Bertie misses you just as much and I'm sure he will love to hear about what you've seen while you're apart! Hope your dad is doing okay.
ReplyDeleteWe wonder if your mind was wandering to Bertie in the meeting too?
ReplyDeleteDid you say SQUIRRELS. Show them the way to my park. Hope you are having a good time and not missing Bertie too much.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific Tuesday.
Best wishes Molly
We know Bertie misses you as much or more than you miss him. You are his world, his job, his best friend.

Dear Gail,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure my dear grandson misses you as much as you miss him!
Guess what... Dachshund Daddy is traveling to London tomorrow! It's a work trip, but he'll probably have a bit of free time. Any recommendations? Mom says he should go to the Tate Modern.
Wags,
Tootsie
