I was simply, and I might add most considerately, scouting ahead to make sure that the ground was not too muddy or rough for the humans.
It was so unnecessary for Gail to come sprinting in pursuit and then return with me on the lead.
Sometimes, one does feel under-appreciated.
Look, here I am patiently waiting for Margaret and Jeff to catch up.
And here, posing nicely with them as instructed.
Yes I am a Good Dog, always, and never ever an embarrassment to my owner...
PS And thank you to Margaret for allowing me to use two of her photos, no.2 and no.3 in this post. See I am a Polite Dog too!
you are the bestest pup ever!!! sometimes humans understand us... but completely wrong LOL

ReplyDeleteBertie lad, you'd think after ten years, Gail would have developed a better trust, wouldn't you?! Still, all's well and you had a fine outing by the looks. Today is a fresh one in which to form further adventures and scouting. Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
BOL BOL BOL Bertie you were crystal clear on that message too. Obviously it is Gail who gets lost not you so thus she sprints after you.
ReplyDeleteI thank Margaret and Jeff for the loan of the photos exhibiting your good manners
Hugs Cecilia (giggling too)
That was so nice of you to scout ahead on the trail Bertie. We don't understand why Gail didn't appreciate your efforts. BOL! You sure had some beautiful views on your hike.
ReplyDeleteYou're just doing your job to keep everybuddy safe. It's what we do!
ReplyDeleteWe have NEVER pictured you as anything other than mannerly! Scouting ahead is a very important job and should not be misconstrued as mischief!
ReplyDeleteWe have no doubt that you are pretty close to the perfect dog Bertie!

We just love the amazing walks you get to go on. We know that you travel ahead to make sure the area is clear and safe to pass. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos. Have a wonderful day.

You were being the perfect , under appreciated scout. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteBeing a good dog can be very unrewarding.
ReplyDeleteYou are SUCH a good dog, and you are completely underappreciated! What a beautiful place you walked!
ReplyDeleteOf course you are a very good dog Bertie, with excellent good manners. If Gail had stopped to think, she would have realised that a gentleman such as yourself would be ever mindful of the safety of others. That's why you ran on ahead.
ReplyDeleteBut maybe she was worried that she'd lose you, we know how much she loves you - and what could be better than that?
Love,

It looks so green and beautiful there, we are sure you just wanted to make sure everything was safe!
