Bertie Barks Back



It has come to my notice that on Monday this week my owner Gail hijacked my blog and wrote a long and rambling post in which she somehow implied that I was teetering on the brink of decrepitude.

Frankly, I was appalled and offended. Where to begin? 

Well, for starters, the words 'pot', 'kettle' and 'black' come to mind...

I mean, I think we can safely say there is only one resident of this household whose right knee makes ominous crunching noises every time she tries to follow 'PE with Joe'...

Whereas, it will be obvious from these photos taken on yesterday's walk in the woods...

...that there's plenty life in this (not so very) old dog yet! 

Toodle pip! 
Bouncing Bertie (for whom the word 'zoom' doesn't just mean a video call).

    Way to go Bertie, you're a mere pup, and I bet you don't have crunchy knees!

    Love,

    Oh Bertie...revenge is SWEET
    I loved this the words 'pot', 'kettle' and 'black'. I have a knee much like Gail's
    And yes you are displaying lots of spunk on your trek...Keep it up sweet spry friend.
    Hugs Cecilia

    Mom has that same crunching/cracking knees when she kneels down and gets back up.
    Go, Bertie, Go! You're as fit as a fiddle!

    Bertie, I'm hijacking the female human's account. I'm 14yo, got arthuritis in my shoulders and hips. I watch my weight, the human's give me sardines for treats. Your still a yung pup. Enjoy. I have cataracts in both eyes as well, so the rabbits have life a bit easier.

    I know, right?? Humans are SO big on saying insulting stuff abouts us when they're the silly ones with problems.

    Crunching knees are a feature in this house....and it's not the canines. Bertie we're sure you'll be zooming way ahead of Gail for a long time to come!

    Bertie, my friend, the term "old" does not apply. My cardis are just "edging their way into the older years."

    I think you are just slowing down to match your mom's space.

    Oh, Bertie, Ma does the same thing. Says that I've slowed down, when she's the one that moans every time she bends down...or gets up.....
    I say ignore the peeps shade, and just do you Bertie! Bouncin' and smilin'!
    Kisses,
    Ruby ♥
