Naughty Nobby:
- "I don't remember Bertie ever being that chewy" (Janet, 10.7.22)
- "That's a wild puppy you've got there" (Kirsty, 16.5.22)
- Remember the primula cheese on the nose incident at puppy class?
- 'Mad half hours' can last up to three hours...
- Does not react at all well to having beard groomed
- Fussy eater in general, but adores sheep poo...
- Magnetically attracted to ditches, the muddier the better
- Still steals balls from other dogs in the park
Nice Nobby:
- Wants to be friends with EVERYONE
- Happy traveller - in car, bus, train and ferry
- Loves to hike
- But keeps Gail in sight when off leash
- Cheaper and more fun than a personal fitness trainer
- Waits patiently nearby if Gail botanising or berry picking
- Cool about being left alone in the house for a while
- Always comfy, quiet and settled in crate at night
- "Extrovert" personality (YAM-aunty, 14.7.22)
- Guaranteed to provide non-stop entertainment and stimulation...
for us you are the bestest Nobby of the whole world... we love to read about your adventures.... no matter if nought or nice they are fantabulous like you
ReplyDeleteI laughed all the way through the video. Quiet Evening Indeed! as for the scales I think he is more half and half, nothing wrong with stealing balls or playing in mud. that evens it out.. I do know you are really handsome at 6 months old and a ton of fun for Gail and for us. you are smart and handsome and keeping Gail Young.
ReplyDelete!
That scale is definitely wrong. Your nice outweighs your naughty in my opinion, Nobby. You are still very much a puppy! Your video had us laughing out loud☺

ReplyDeleteWell, Nobby, I count 10;8 in favour of the pawsitive, so those skills are definitely tipped in your favour. For now! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Nobby, you are quite a terr [silent i] or! I don't remember, but if I were to guess, I would say "no." Is Nobby from the same breeder (or similar bloodlines) as Sir Bertie?
ReplyDeleteGail replies: Nobby is indeed from a different breeder, although they do have some ancestors in common. (Bertie's breeder is no longer involved in dog breeding.) Bertie, age six months, was also quite a handful, although perhaps not as much as Nobby!
DeleteNobby, it looks like you've been polishing your halo!
ReplyDeleteNobby - we are not sure why the cheese incident ends up on your report card - surely Gail had a hand in that? Good to know that you are not a perfect angel. Perfect angels are as boring as mud (oops - you don't find mud boring do you?!) paw smacks Mr T
ReplyDeleteWell, Nobby, you certainly showed that toy who's the boss! Is it quite dead yet?
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't think that the book Gail was reading was of enough interest for you to lie quietly by her side and read it with her.
Love,

Never a dull moment
ReplyDeleteOver the top handsome
Bubbly personality
Behaves as best as a 6 mo. old WFT can
You crack me up
Nice Nobby beat out naughty Nobby
Personally (of course we way over here across the pond)
think both list are wonderful. Some of my favorites from each are
#1 and 2 from Naughty...
#1-10 Nice you and Gail were are a perfect match.
I loved x 87 your video. I think you were trying to help Gail turn the page of her book with all that activity and your toofers are so pearly white.

We're happy to see you tipped the scales to the Nice side for your six-month review, Nobby. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteWe think you'll always have a streak of naughty, but will overall be a pretty nice guy!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Rosy
Wouldn't life be boring without puppy excitement? You're definitely Nice Bobby in my bookstand I love reading about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody react well to having their face groomed? I HATE it.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a great job. I am following in your paw prints to be a big dog
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't have some naughty in you, than you'd be an awful boring pup, Nobby! Don't change anything...not even the magnetizing with mud!
ReplyDeleteYou sure gave your stuffie the what for!! BOL!
Hahaha, we love the video, is Nobby trying destroy a stuffed pup that looks just like Nobby??? Anyway, it looks like the nice and the naughty are pretty even!
ReplyDeleteRosie and Redford
Keep up the good work, Nobby!
ReplyDeleteThose scales are clearly wrong - nice should be much lower down! Absolutely loved the video.
