I'm sure you have noticed that I am blessed with a luxuriant abundance of facial hair. Gail does trim it quite often - who knows how long the furs would grow without interference.
So anyway, I was walking in the park on Saturday morning when a Welsh terrier called Taffy and his owner stopped for a chat. The lady commented admiringly on my fine fuzzy fizzog and, no doubt to the embarrassment of poor Taffy, noted how thin and feeble his beard seemed in comparison.
At least Gail spared Taffy's blushes and did not take a photo of him. But I have to say, I do believe I detected a touch of envy in his eyes as he glanced at my bushy schnozzle and then contemplated his own wispy affair.
Do you have a beard and is it a source of pride too?
PS Gail tells me that this is not a polite question to ask a human lady of a certain age. Or in fact any age. Can that be true...?
Yes, I do have a beard, Bertie, and I am very proud of it! Mom wishes that it wasn't always wet but we do have to hydrate often, right?!

ReplyDelete**harrumph** yes, Bertie lad, that's true. For you gents, however, beards are a proper and worthwhile subject of discussion! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Bertie I say if you have it flaunt it proudly...
ReplyDeleteYou know me I share all...yep I too have a wee bit of facial hair...thankfully light in color...
What really irks me is the leg hair has just about disappeared...I think it all went North to my upper lip...so unfair

You have a great beard Bertie. Walter is jealous that he doesn't have one.
ReplyDeleteWe are not bearded dogs. We are also jealous of your facial hair Bertie.
ReplyDeleteNo beards here, Bertie, but Timber has some awesome eyebrows:)

Oh, I gots a fuzzy wuzzy snooter too Bertie! Ma says she should trim it all off so she doesn't gets a 'beard shower' when I shake my head with a wet beard. That would be boring, huh? ☺
ReplyDeleteHere's to beards and snooter furs!!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
We're sure human ladies would be huffy, but the lady scottie in this house has a fine beard...although usually knotted and filled with natural debris.
ReplyDeleteBertie, I am certain your beard is the envy of all. But I confess that I prefer my girl dogs (who could grow beards) beardless. (See, e.g., our profile photo :)
ReplyDeleteBertie, you have a pawsome beard. We know that Taffy was probably a little jealous of yours. Thanks for the share. Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Bertie, you are so very good-looking, how could any other dog compete? I don't have a beard, but I have amazing baby-blue eyes that everyone adores!
