Oops I sat on the daffodils...



Last weekend at the Torridon cottage. I was checking out new growth in the garden when Gail called out, "Hey Bertie that would make a nice picture for the LLB gang's Nature Friday, you and the daffodil shoots. Your readers will be pleased to see that Spring is on the way here in NW Scotland."

So of course I obliged. Or so I thought. Only to hear an anguished cry.

"NO BERTIE! You're supposed to sit BESIDE not ON the daffodils...."

Ho hum. And I thought that after nearly nine years of blogging I had this posing business cracked...

Pee-ess..

(Belated) congratulations to King! The fifteenth wire fox terrier to be crowned Top Dog in the USA.

At least there's one Westminster where good decisions are made...

  1. Bertie we are glad that daffdodils were no snapdragons BOL... we are proud for King, but like the mama said, to create such a beard would cost her all fingers if she had tried that with her WHFT...

    Daffodils are very resilient, Bertie lad, so dinnae worry aboot them. And "Hear hear!" to your second point! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  4. Oh Bertie you make me laugh you are so nonchalant. When told to pose...one must be given explicit instructions i.e. right, left, back but NEVER on top!!
    King is a most handsome WFT...w/o a fur out of place; However, I like by WFTs to be outdoorys and not too worried about their furs, ears or WFT tail.
    Hugs Cecilia

  8. That would make a great title for a sequel to Please don't eat the daisies - Please don't sit on the daffodils!!! We don't think we have to worry about sitting on any flowers for a while to go - we got about five inches of snow today and it is a whopping 14 degrees out there!!!

  11. Ooops! We bet some of those daffodils will survive your butt. You are so lucky to have signs of spring popping up already. We are heading into a cold spell and our daffodils won't be seen for a couple of months at least.

  12. Oh Bertie! Your butt is so soft with your beautiful furs that I bet that Gail will be posting a photo of those Daffodils next week - at least I hope so. It isn't spring here yet so I love seeing it at your home!

  14. Spring is on he way to your house? Oh, not here. It is still cold and snowy. Of course we love it but we don't know how much more mom can take. You did a great job posing so we hope you got treats!

    Your Pals,
