Frosty morning bonus walk

Do you ever take a peek at your human's phone to find out what's going on? I did on Saturday morning and saw this on the WhatsApp. 


It was all looking rather promising. Especially when Gail joined in the conversation.


So a group of six - one dog and five humans - met in socially-distanced fashion in the Banchory Tesco car park and, gosh, we had such a lovely walk along the River Dee and up Scolty Hill. Thanks Muriel for leading the way! I'll admit that Gail and I are both slightly relieved you shortened your usual 14 mile route ... And I hope I didn't hold things up too much with all my sniffing.

Later on the phone.


I'm sure my readers would like to see the full size photo of my handsome self pausing to enjoy the winter sunshine by the river. This was early afternoon, by which time the ice had all melted.

Between you and me, I'm looking forward to lots more frosty mornings!

  3. Bertie well done on capturing the WhatsUp app for us. Great technology and quick way to organize 5 humans. Of course you are up for a walk you are one well dressed and prepared K9. I hope the smell mail was top notch.

  4. Your flowers are sparkling and beautiful in that sunshine. So happy that you got to go out the stop people and walk and enjoy sniffing. I would like to have just one person to walk with and 5 would just be wonderful

  6. Bertie, I'm so glad that they took you with them! You had such a lovely walk in the sunshine.
    We've all got to enjoy ourselves when we can these days, and we are both lucky that we don't have too many restrictions at the moment.

    Love,

  7. You are so lucky to have friends join you on walks and cycling; I miss that, not residing in a place I would call "home."

  8. We love frosty mornings. So happy that you (and Gail) were able to go on that beautiful walk. First day of summer here....supposed to be 44°C, we can only dream of frost zoomies.

  9. Frosty mornings are the best, but I am a husky, so I do like it cold! Looks like a wonderful time was had by all, good to socialize when you can these days!

  11. Oh Bertie, you're looking so well, and so handsome! Mum and I hope you enjoy many more frosty walks with Gail. Personally I would rather curl up in front of the fire and get my tummy tickled, not that I'm lazy... Findlay xx
