A few days ago Gail and I went exploring the Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve.
Sometimes I stayed on piste…
And sometimes I didn't.
Got a problem Gail?
What's that you're saying? The boardwalk is there for a purpose?
Really?
PS Thank you for all your encouraging comments ahead of Sunday's big Ambassadog event. Oh I can scarcely contain my excitement! A special trip to Edinbugh! An afternoon at a fancy hotel! We promise a full report early next week. Meanwhile, click here if you want read what our local Aberdeen newspaper had to say today about me making the shortlist. (And yes they did spell Gail's surname wrong).
This is só exciting: wishing you both a great time!
ReplyDeleteUhohs... Think yer gonna need a baff, Bertie! bol, bol!
ReplyDeleteHave fun wiff yer Ambassadog trip-- we thinks yer TopDog no matter whut dey decides!
Ummmm... Bertie old boy. You do realize that being the ambassadog- for all of Scotland is going to be one long photo-op, right? Muddy paws aren't going to cut it my man. Keep that bit for later consideration.
ReplyDeleteDad wants to know if Gail has considered renting you out to visiting academics who need a hiking companion?
Gail would be prepared to negotiate mutually agreeable rates. Which Bertie thinks might be calculated in treats per mile.

ReplyDeleteUhoh Bertie lad... was there an icy stream nearyby for the essential undercarriage - and maybe overcarriage - demudding???
OMD you are going to be within cooee of my daddy (just other side of Cameron Toll)... What a great place!!! Everything crossed for a successful visit ol' chap... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

Madi your bfff
Bob has the same problem on the board walk near our swamp. Tell Gail thats what baths are for, but then of course Bob has short hair so its much easier to bathe him
ReplyDeleteBertie! I am thrilled to meet you. Found you via my google alert for wire foxies and the article about you being on the short list. Your blog is brilliant!!! I have shared it with all my wire friends on Facebook! Together with two wire loving pals we run facebook.com/lovefoxies -- take a peek. Oh if our votes mattered you would be ambassadog faster than you could say TREAT! Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteLove Dani in Philadelphia
Oh you do go to the neatest places Bertie

Okay....it IS early in the morning (4:30) and we haven't been reading blogs for awhile, but we read that as 'Piste off at Muir of Dinnet'. We can understand being piste off at that LONG filming session! But congratulations at making the cut. Now, Gail can be 'voiced over' if you need a Scots accent BUT if you're attracting tourists, she may be an asset. Of course, you're the MAIN attraction. We're off to check out the competition and vote if we can.
ReplyDeleteHER online blog?? Bertie, we know who the real author is. Sheesh! Journalists...
ReplyDelete-Otto
Gail says: In fact it's almost impressive quite how many minor inaccuracies they managed to cram into a short and, one might have thought straightforward, story. That's journalists for you (at least here in the UK) I guess!
DeleteWe have paws crossed for you Bertie and we just loved that they used Gail-s misspelled surname multiple times in the newspaper article!
ReplyDeleteArty totally agrees with your views on staying on the or off of the piste!
Smileys!
Dory Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
All or our pug paws crossed for you Bertie, we know you would make the best ambassador-dog!

Bertie in working on our Ancestry Pedigree we found Lee's 11 great grandfather Thomas Kirk was born in Scotland in 1548. He was married at St Giles, Cripplegate, London. And buried at a famous church in England but Lee can't remember off the top of her head.
ReplyDeleteOh Bertie you are on the short list how famously well you have done and a big trip ahead of you in a grand hotel. I can always say I knew you when!
Thanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
Bertie I read the newspaper you beat out over two hundred other dogs WOW! And going to the Prestonfield I think I would order the Hand-dived scallops. That Cream of cep soup we never heard of but it say it is Fresh Button Mushrooms soup. I think the food would be great for winning. Go Bertie Go!
DeleteSWTS
Gail too is thinking hand-dived scallops, but I have my heart set on the rack of roast lamb....
DeleteBertie... we can't even begin to imagine that you WOULDN'T be chosen as the AmbassaDOG... WE know you are #1 and that is That...
ReplyDeleteWe can't WAIT to hear about the Voting and your Special Interview time... at the Fancy Schmancy Hotel...
DARLING BOY!!! ITS US!! We saw Daniella's post in Facebook and IT WAS YOU!! When we stopped blogging we lost contact with many friends. We are older and slower but really still quite naughty. LISTENYou are going to be a celebrity ( we know you will win) Archie said he will vote 58 times if that will help. GOOD LUCK we are going to read all of your adventures MUAHHHH MUAHHHH MUAHHHHHH love Aggie and Archie
ReplyDeleteOh wow, Agatha and Archie, how grrrreat to hear from you again. I'll never forget all your priceless lessons in how to be a true fox terrier. I only hope I can remember them all on Sunday….
DeleteWe have all our paws crossed for you on sunday Bertie!
ReplyDeleteBertie - Remember fancy Edinburgh hotels serve scones.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun hike! Now we gotta check out that article!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
