Every morning for the past couple of months, Gail has been giving me a new pre-walk treat, a little brown tablet wrapped in grated cheese. I wait patiently while she prepares the treat, tail wagging in anticipation.
It tastes delicious and, gosh, ever since I've been getting these special goodies, I've been feeling quite the frisky young pup again. And Gail seems happier too. She claims she treasures every hour she spends with me, and this might be true up to a point, although I would note it did not stop her going out for a long bike ride with her friends on Saturday and leaving me home alone, all forlorn, for several hours...
However I am pleased to report that, after what I imagine was a sleepless night wracked with guilt* Gail took me out on Sunday to join her friends M and J, and we all enjoyed some quality time together, rambling around the sheltered lower reaches of Glen Tanar.
*Gail says: I think Bertie is referring here to what I experienced as eight solid hours of untroubled slumber.
that is well said!!! and we are super happy with you two

ReplyDeleteBertie lad, first let me say that you look totally spiffing and I am so glad the pre-walk 'treats' are having the desired effect.
Second. You really need to keep a tighter leash on that Gail if she is still managing to escape on bikes... just remind her of a certain incident in Newcastle and how that made her feel!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Your happy wagging tail makes us smile, Bertie☺
ReplyDeleteDear Tail of Bertie...you what joy you brought to this old gal this am. I think if we had some Beatles music going on your tail would surely out beat the famous Ringo.
ReplyDeleteDear Bertie well done taking the pill from the loving hands of Gail.
Healthy Hugs and thanks for the smiles

You sure have the perfect wagging tail. Our tail in this house is about four times maybe five times longer than yours and it's swing side to side like a giant rope and it hurts when it hits you. Yours is short and cute and goes round and round and I see that your head is keeping time too and I'm so happy that your cheese ball is making you feel better and I know that's why mommy got 8 hours of sleep. I can't even remember the last time I got 8 hours of sleep I have gotten seven but most of the time it's 6 and 1/2
ReplyDeleteYour wagging tail makes us smile, Bertie. We're glad Gail made up for leaving you behind by taking you on a nice walk with your friends.
ReplyDeleteNothing starts a morning off better than cheese medicine time!
ReplyDeleteWe prefer the sleepless night wracked with guilt story. You're good to take your 'treat' nicely. Anything suspicious here requires a quick treat followed by the 'doctored' treat, followed by another quick treat. Bertie, you need to hold out a bit more...just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteYou're in top bouncing form, Bertie! How Gail could bear to leave you after seeing your dear forlorn face in the window, I can't imagine. Extra yummy treats are definitely in order to make amends!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm, cheese! Nothing better! And my mom is glad that what's in the cheese is helping you feel good, that is so nice to read! And your wagging tail is the best!!!
ReplyDeleteYour friend Rosie
Aww, we love that happy tail, Bertie. You are looking wonderful and we hope it continues to be this good for a long time.

Humans need time with just other humans. I don't understand why. Sounds kind of silly to me.
ReplyDeleteGrated cheese wrapped "treats" - oh wow Bertie! My human just dishes out my tablets on top of my food. Usually I'm so hungry I just gobble them straight down. In future I'll try to remember to make her give me them wrapped in cheese!

I'm so happy to hear that you are doing well and the med's are helping!
ReplyDeleteWe are glad to hear you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteOh Bertie, you look so happy on your walk, made the peep smile 😊
ReplyDeleteHi friend! Look at you bouncing! Your snack must be extra-special indeed!
ReplyDeleteBertie - When you tire of cheese insist on the 'snack' being wrapped in liver bits.
