So I want to tell you how, at the end of our Sunday walk along the cliffs with Kirsty, a lovely couple stopped Gail in the carpark at Newtonhill and asked if they could take my photo* to send to their son in London. Apparently the family used to have a fox terrier and miss him loads. And, not that I'm boasting or anything, but when Gail told them I'm eleven years old they said they had thought I was much younger as I looked so slim and fit. And they also complimented me how little my dark markings had faded with age, and commented on my alert but friendly demeanour.
It's nice to be appreciated, isn't it?
*Gail wonders whether, in the history of the universe, any proud dog owner has ever refused when someone comes up, praises your dog's looks and asks to take his photo!
maybe that was our grampy? he always asks for a photo too when he meets a whft... probably all who have or had one know that this breed is something so so so special...

ReplyDeleteBertie lad, it most certainly is!
Gail - probably not!
Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
compliments are alwasy welcome for sure. looking at these three photos, I am thinking who would NOT ask to take your photos. these are awesome as are the views behind you.. echo here what Yam said, she is so good with words... I once saw a labradoodle inside our Walmart store. his dad was sitting waiting on prescriptions and the doodle was sitting beside him. I asked to pet and take a photo and then did not want to leave..while my friend the bird lover was taking bird pics at the beach, i stopped at every dog and took photos..
ReplyDeleteBertie I say with 100% certainty I like those folks requesting you to pawticipate in a photo session. THey have excellent taste and they are so right you don't look a day over 5..
ReplyDeleteI kinda saw that the wind might be blustery your very perfect WFT tail was leaning a bit.
I have never had anyone refuse my request to take a photo of their pups

Those picture takin' peeps have excellent taste. You are a handsome fella, Bertie!
ReplyDeleteThat was super nice of those people to say those things about you, Bertie. We know our mom would want a picture of you too.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. YOU know you're very special, and Gail does, too. But it is nice to have it validated by the general public!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place you live in! You're right about the humans never hesitating to brag about their good doggies.
ReplyDeleteThose folks you met have very good taste - they recognize handsomeness when they spot it. It may have been a windy walk, but oh, look at that sunshine!!! You look great, Bertie!!!

Hi friend! Ojo here! You are very handsome and fit indeed!!
ReplyDeleteNope, no proud dog parent would EVER say now to such a request. Those people were very perceptive about how amazing you are, Bertie!
ReplyDeleteYou still look like a puppy
ReplyDeleteThose are very smart peeps Bertie! And, they have a good eye for beauty....um...HANDSOMENESS! I hopes Gail charged them three noms for it! 😊
ReplyDeleteKisses,

Who wouldn't ask to take your photo Bertie, you are so handsome! I'm sure their son was delighted to receive the photo.

Your walk and the view is spectacular...as are YOU Bertie!
ReplyDeleteYou are one handsome boy, Bertie. while I'm a 4 time schnauzer person, I know nothing about WHFTs, and now feel compelled to learn!
