I'm posting this profile portrait to prove a point.
I think you'll agree that I am quite handsome enough.
And that Gail is wrong to think my looks could be enhanced were I to allow her to approach my face with clippers, scissors, stripping knife or any other evil instrument of torture.
And that I am fully justified in attempting to bite her hand should she attempt any procedure other than a gentle brush of the beard, and then only if I am given a 'high value' treat to chew during the facial grooming process.
Am I right or am I right?
you look super fantabulous... the best whft in all da land...
ReplyDeleteYou have to suffer to be (even more) beautiful, Nobby, but please don't bite the hand that feeds you (bite the other one!)
ReplyDeleteYou are a most handsome boy, Nobby, but as the weather warms, you would be more comfy with less furs.
ReplyDeleteWarming is only a relative concept in Aberdeen...

ReplyDeleteWell...(cough), Nobby... it's a matter of whether you wish to carry the wild outdoorsman look, or not. While there is a certain appeal in the ruggedly tufted look, there is something to be said for the freshly groomed, city-style beard. Either way, it would be hard for you to look anything other than handsome - though I too woudl advocate avoiding biting the feeding hand!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Handsome Profile, but remember Nobby, Handsome is as Handsome does! you do look rugged like Yam says and it looks well on you, but just how long does a WFT beard grow??
ReplyDeleteWell Nobby, this is a difficult one. Surely you owe it your handsome self to be neatly groomed and therefore sartorially elegant as befits all WFT's? Most females (whatever their species) appreciate a male who has taken care with his appearance.
ReplyDeletePlease, don't bite Gail's hand(s) - she just wants to show that she's a good owner who cares.
Love,

You do look good Nobby, but it's never good to bite the hand that feeds you.
ReplyDeleteNobby you are 87 kinds of handsome. Now that being said might I suggest
ReplyDeleteletting Gail give your WFT beard a trim every now and again. I have it on good authority that ladies don't like a man with food and or debris in his beard.
Gail you might need some of those gloves lineman use when working on electric cables.

PS thank you for the link to Dui's poem. I had forgotten and I don't think Bryan ever read it so it was a wonderful flashback

Nobby like you I can't understand the human fixation on our furs, but I have discovered that it is possible to train humans to do it your way. Biting is not a good training technique. Humans like treats as much as the next animal. Try bringing Gail a mouse - live is good if you can manage it. They get excited by live mice. Use treats to reward good behaviour. Eventually Gail will do things your way - warning some negotiation and compromise might be necessary to a successful training program. Humans can be very determined creatures. Paw smacks Mr T
ReplyDeleteWe are split here Nobby...Sunny says you are drop dead handsome and MORE than justified in stopping face brushing by any means...While Rosy thinks if you let Gail brush/strip/trim your face furs without hassle now, it may save you from worst types of torture in the future.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
xoxo,
Rosy and Sunny
Yes, you are handsome, but you have to be groomed to stay that way, so I suggest you and your mom come to an agreement about the grooming.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if she takes youu to a grooming salon, you might feel less inclined to bite your Gail when she needs tooo do it the next time.
ReplyDeleteMJF had to wear a muzzle whenever petcretary needed to clip his nails...at least we do not need *that*, though we do squirm, BOL!
Unfortunately, grooming is a part of life for some breeds of dogs, more than others. Our pups Rosie and Baby know all about it. So far, they've been good with their groomer, Miss Jaquie.
ReplyDeleteWe think you don't mess with perfection and you are perfectly handsome!
