My friendship with Horatio hits a rocky patch...

Gosh I had been so looking forward to Sunday, when I met up with my wiry pal Horatio, his Vizsla brother Harris and their family.

We walked up a big hill (Morven), and I learned about life's unfairness.

I spotted Horatio was being given cocktail sausages at the summit, so I hastened over to claim my share.

Only to find that Horatio was not in the mood for sharing.

So Gail gave me a chewy treat.

Yes, that's the chewy treat you see in Harris's mouth.

On the way down I overheard the humans planning to go for post-walk tea and cake at the 'Sign of the Black Faced Sheep' café in Aboyne.

Horatio suggested that if I blacked up my face I might be allowed to join them.


I did not realise he was teasing me.

  2. Ditto Scotsmad. Doesn't Horatio know that sharing is caring? Hmmmm. Have a marvellous Monday.

    you are making that face, he must have a heart of stone

  4. Oh Bertie: Nodog tells a story like you do. But from the look of your face - you enjoyed the walk a lot, even if you missed out on the treats.

  6. We see Horatio has the attitude of "what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine"

  7. GOOD GRIEF Bertie... We think your furends need a talking to. Furends are SUPPOSED to SHARE and to give GOOD advice. Sorry your super day was marred by these incidents.

  9. I think that was a clever idea, but you aren't a sheep...How sad that Horatio wouldn't share the sausages with you, I would share all my sausages with you... if I had some.

  13. Oh Bertie, that was not very nice of Horatio at all. That was a mean trick from a "friend". However, I would say you still look darned cute!

  21. Bertie, i've no doubt you're already planning your comeuppance for Horatio. Can't wait til you two meet again!

  22. We know that a terrier could outsmart Horatio. You are a true diplomat to share your treats and let him think he is the boss...well played, Bertie.

  23. Hey Bertie, what kind of treatment can you expect from a guy who won't share a treat? I mean, you'd share with him wouldn't you?

    Cheers, Stella
