Gosh, Autumn is such a lovely time of year, don't you think? Gail took me for a walk in Blackhall Forest yesterday afternoon, and the colours were so pretty, despite the heavy rain and biting northerly wind.
As you can see, I'm not one to let a bit of bad weather crush my natural bounciness.
I'm in extra good spirits just now as Gail just told me that my poodle cousins, Percy and Coco, are coming to stay with us in Aberdeen for a few days next week. They are bringing Gail's brother and sister-in-law too. Won't that be fun!
I believe that Percy and Coco have never before been to the seaside, so I am thinking of organising a special beach walk experience for them. I mean, it wouldn't be right for a dog to go through life never ever having had the chance to roll in decomposing fish, or dead seal blubber, now would it.....?
You might remember that Percy and Coco are HUGE poodles - Percy especially. But don't worry, I've been practising fraternising with the Big Boys in Duthie Park recently.
Do you like my new friends?
At the other end of the spectrum, size-wise, I have a brand new next-door neighbour, a cocker spaniel puppy, Stroma (named after a little island just off Scotland's northern coast). She's only ten weeks old and we don't have a picture of her yet. She's a pretty pale brown colour and what I like about her most at the moment is that she's making me look like a model of perfect manners. Yes really! Apparently wee Stroma is driving her humans to distraction, keeping them up all night, whimpering loudly if they ever leave her sight and pee-ing and poo-ing everywhere except the back yard where she's supposed to go.
Of course, I was never like that! Were you?
Visitors! Just remember to put away whatever you DON'T want to share. That way you don't have to even look like you don't share.
ReplyDeleteWe're sure the dogs and their pawrents will be delighted to enjoy the seaside and its rolling opportunities.

ReplyDeleteCrikey Bertie lad, those are some handsome doods
- or doodettes - you have met up with!!! I am certain your cousins will be most impressed with the intro to beach life. As for the new neighbour; well, pawhaps you will have to become a mentor! hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
Dear Bertie, yay for company. Around here that means normal schedules are abandoned and extra special food gets prepared. I hope the same happens at your home and you gets some tasty morsels
ReplyDeleteYour circle of friends is quite nice and handsome...BUTT my friend you are the STAND OUT in the bunch.
I had to giggle about Storma's Saga. This too shall pass and in no time it will be a funny memory. Angel Madi sure did take us by surprise with how different she was from our first Cat, Milky-way.

Teka is something of a connoisseur of big dogs. They are her chosen pals at day care! She says your new friends are way pawsome, and that it is good to get in some practice before your cousins arrive.
ReplyDeleteHer recommendation is “when you are getting skunked in big dog play jump up and grab an ear!”
Not saying that won’t get you into more trouble, but that is what she said.
That husky is quite big!! Isn't a puppy's job to drive their humans to distraction??

OH Bertie, we see some awesome new pals there - beautiful Sibes!!! We hope you all had great fun doing zoomies. We know you are going to show Coco and Percy a grand time too. We can't wait to see them here on your blog.

We bet you and your cousins will have a great time together especially if you show them how to roll in stinky stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like our kind of walk. This IS the best time of year! Have fun with your big cousins. Hopefully they don't mind getting their paws wet...BOL!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard being a puppy! There are sooooo many new things to learn. Give Stroma a chance, she'll turn into the model pup that I (almost) am soon.
