A one-way street...

We went to visit our friends Molly and Neil in Macduff this weekend.

I am always being told by Gail that good manners are very important when staying with friends.

I asked Gail if this is the case, even when your friends' lurcher, Maisie, is licking clean your own food bowl.

Apparently it is. And if you're thinking I'm standing there sulking in the next photo, you would be correct.

Later, I waited quietly beside Molly, thinking she might be polite and make amends for Maisie's bad behaviour by offering me some cake.

But I waited in vain.

It seems to me this good manners thing is a one-way street.

  3. OMDs Bertie come stay with me!! I would never ever in 87 years dare to eat your food out of your bowl. GEEEZZZ I guess the saying
    'their, house...their rules'. Applies here.

    Hugs Cecilia

  6. That was nice of you to be a good friend and let Maisie clean your bowl for you. We do hope she reciprocates and lets you lick her bowl too.

  7. OMD, that's not fair at ALL. I hope you got to lick Maisie's bowl later.

  11. Well, here we all clean each other's bowl. It is like a musical bowl event as we circle from one to another:)

    We would have thought that Gail would have given you a taste of cake!!!

  13. Oh Bertie - that's just awful! My human says that if you had been a Labrador, then they wouldn't have got a look in!
    If we ever get to meet up, don't worry, I'll teach you some of the tricks of the (Labrador) trade, then you won't be deprived ever again!

    Love,
