So Gail gave me a little pep talk when we stopped for elevenses in Dunkeld, en route to Dunoon last week.
"Now Bertie, I understand how all is not well with your bladder, and it's not your fault that you have been having occasional 'accidents' inside our house recently, but please could you try extra specially hard to wait until you are outdoors while we are staying with YAM-Aunty this week? And if you could also try to avoid any night-time disturbances, that would be a bonus! I know our dear friend has most kindly said that it's not a problem at all and she wants to see you anyway, but I hope you'll do your best and not let me down.."
Well you know what? As soon as we'd arrived at YAM-Aunty's house I was overcome by the atmosphere of warmth and love, and a wave of well-being washed over me (and Gail I think).
Between gentle strolls along the shore I curled up on the sofa in a state of blissful contentment while Gail and YAM-Aunty chattered away, ate good food, and watched the tennis on TV.
It couldn't have been a nicer two days, and I am happy to report that I did not in any way let Gail down.
On behalf of Gail and myself, I want to give a huge Thank You to YAM-Aunty for her generous hospitality. Spending time with friends in person is the Best!
What a fun trip for you and Gail, Bertie! We had to look extra hard to find you in the pile of stuffies☺

ReplyDeleteOh Bertie lad, having you and Gail here in the furs was the best thing to happen this year so far!!! It was an absolute joy to host you both; imagine discovering at this age that you liked to chomp on celery?! And I just don't know what Gail was fretting about - you were the very model of decorum! You will see my take on it in a couple of days... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
this post makes me feel so good and happy and i can't stop smiling. I am so glad the three of you had such a wonderful visit . I did the same as Molly, had to look a while to find you.
ReplyDeleteBertie you are an Olympic visitor I give you a 10+++++. YAM Aunty gives the bestest hugs and has the brightest smile, so I know the feeling of well-being that you and Gail experienced. It appears the weather cooperated and a good out of doors time was had by all. YAM made sure you had lots of company on the couch too.
ReplyDeleteSending standing ovations for this most anticipated visit after FUREVER of not going anywhere

OMDs just read YAM's comment, Bertie do please explain why you like celery? I like it fine in recipes but never NO never in the raw.
ReplyDeleteAmazing the new things we try when on visits

Oh, Bertie, you are such a lucky boy to get to visit Aunty Yam. We bet she and Gail had a marvelous time together, and you were a model pup.
