Turns out they have a two year old foxy, from Granddach Kennels like me, and had observed that I was the spit of their wee fellow, Bob. As was confirmed when father asked son to show us Bob's picture on his iPhone.
Then father gave me a nice belly rub and complimented me on my lean and muscular physique (yes really), while Gail looked proudly on. To be honest, I was quite pleased at this point not to be wearing my birthday jumper, as these mountain bikers just possibly might not have recognised said sweater for the manly garment that you and I know it to be…
Oh and did I mention I won two more rosettes at the agility show?
Oh Bertie! How handsome you are and your new sweater suits your trim physique. Horatio is so jealous he insisted on a visit to Podgey Paws in Keswick last week so we could purchase him a jumper too.... He's now rocking the Jean-Paul Sartre look in a fleecy black polo neck!
ReplyDeleteWell done. Bertie you are a star and we love your jumper. Have a terrific Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Jeez Bertie, you are good mate. So handsome peeps stop to admire you, dapper (we pinched that word from Mango Momma) when you wear your jumper and two rosettes from Agility as well. Well done mate. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteWe'll done Bertie those rosettes match you manly sweater perfectly...and we agree you are one handsome dude ans should be recognized as such
ReplyDeleteBertie bravo bravo you have always been a winner in our book BUT finally you have been recognized by the professionals. I have to wonder if Bob your look a like has a fine a tail as yours.
ReplyDeleteHugs Madi your bfff and fan
Bertie - Canine companions are great ice breakers - even more so when dressed so elegantly.
ReplyDeleteThose Bikers would have assumed that the sweater was merely a way to appropriately display your rosettes! Bet their Boy Boy is not as cute as you

Must say, Bertie, that jumper has come in VERY handy.
ReplyDeleteWe're sure you stop people all the time. How amazing that you found peeps who have a relative of yours.
In the comments about Daisy, we found a reader who NEVER comments who said she had a pup with the same Kennel name as Daisy's...though a westie..we're sure they came from the same place.
XXXOOO Bella & Roxy

Crikey Bertie ... you made my Mum cry big time. You see she had a Wire called Lucy and she loved that little girl soooooo much. Lucy did agility too AND flyball. She won lots of ribbons too. Mum reckons she'll never, ever have a dog as good as Lucy. Hmmmmmmmph! What about ME! We are new to blogger and we love it. Mum is going to follow your blog . I come from the land dowunder, Australia but Mum is of Scottish background and loves Scotland.

Way to go on winning dose ribbons!
ReplyDeleteWow... more rosettes? Wotten waven!
ReplyDeleteWe feel ambivalent about mountain bikers. Most of them are nice people, but a few are completely insane. We have a zero risk protocol in place and I always get picked up in their presence. That's because a good number of Swiss mountain bikers are retirees and we don't trust their waning eyesight.
