Borderline inappropriate...


Gosh as if it wasn't bad enough, putting up with my Aberdeen home being invaded by two giant poodles a short while back...

So last weekend Gail took me over to the Torridon cottage, a place where a chap can normally look forward to a bit of peace and quiet. Imagine my surprise and consternation then, when I arrived to find two strangers - and their associated humans - already occupying my living room!

The big fellow is Jasper, a labradoodle apparently (although it seems he never got the memo about doodle types being 'non-shedding').

The wee schnauzer is Frankie, or Mr Goody Two-Shoes as I now think of him. To be honest, one can hear the words "my, he is such a perfectly behaved dog, isn't he just?" once too often when those words are not directed towards oneself...

Jasper seems a decent enough chap, although on Saturday I did notice him getting a bit frisky in the closing stages of our hike through Coire Dubh and Coire Mhic Nobuil, and trying to jump on Gail is a manner that I later told him I considered borderline inappropriate...

Finally, I would like to point out that, of the three of us, I was the only pup brave enough to bark at the stag whom we found hanging around in the Glen Torridon car park at the start of our walk. I was most disappointed when Gail hastily removed me from the scene after the stag made as if to head butt us with his antlers. Even though it was certainly not me who was acting all scared...

  4. Bertie - You may need to rethink Jaspers Labradoodle lineage. Beware of Stags !

  8. Well, that was a very cheeky stag - how dare he think about butting you!!! Jasper almost looks like one of the big Irish wolfhound types. But it does look like it was a fun hike for all, and it is always nice to meet new friends:)

  10. LOL Da Overlook twinies stole my line...so now I must come up with a new one.....ummmmm
    Maybe the stag was coming home late from a Stag Party and just grumpy. I do hope Jasper didn't leave Labradoodle drool all over Gail's jacket.

    Angel Madi here Bertie shortly after my arrival I heard Milky-Way never did this or that at least 87 times. Seems he was Mr. Good two Shoes too. My sweet loving mom even once was heard saying. I Was nothing at all like MW.
    Well duh I was a female that made all the difference in the world.
    You surely had a nice hike.
    Angel kisses to your purrfect nose and your amazing WFT Tail
