For about two weeks each spring, our neighbourhood in Aberdeen is fifty shades of pink not grey. The cherry blossom is particularly fine this year.
Gail suggested I take a leaf out of the book of our Nature Friday blog hosts, the LLB Gang, and wear a costume appropriate to the post.
To my surprise and utter horror, she dug a PINK DRESS out of the 'hand-me-downs from Bertie' bag and forced it over my head.
You will understand that I flatly refused to venture out in public and pose in front of a cherry tree wearing a frock...
I mean, it wasn't even ironed!
PS Gail is wondering if any readers can remember the context in which Bertie wore this not very masculine garment?
Nobby you are entitled to refuse to go out in that. I am fortunate in not having a predecessor and the worst thing my F has created was a mask i was supposed to wear during covid outings. (Now we have to go and scour Bertie's blog for the back story). Paw smacks Mr T

ReplyDeleteWell... Nobby, I am astounded. And fully support your right to protest!!! The blossoms are pretty enough with no need of enhancement by such decorative dress. On another, perhaps special occasion, the dress may be more appropriate... hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
Oh Nobby, what an embarrassment! The pink blossoms are very pretty but to put you in a hand-me-down un-ironed pink frock is outrageous! What is Gail thinking? You have my complete support to complain!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Amber xx
hahaha we agree... what iron-y LOL
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I am a real guy too but I would not allow a dress on me. Sorry that happened to you buddy! The cherry blossoms are beautiful. We have them now too. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blossoms, particularly the ones in aptly-named Bright Street. You do look mortified, Nobby, and no wonder - it's definitely not your colour or style.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly understand why you wouldn't want to be seen in pink, Nobby. Your pink blossoms are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteif per chance she forces you to go out and about or even oot and aboot, in the dress, and she ties you to a tree again, jump up and down and shake is all around and make the blooms fall off. that should put a stop to the wearin o the frocks. you do look cute and that street is gorgeous plus the name of the street fits pawfeckly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sight all thru your Aberdeen home.
ReplyDeleteI might have giggled at seeing your 'tied' to the tree. You are 100% a flight risk.
I love that Gail wanted you to dress up in honor of Rosy BUT it appears you dressed under duress. I don't remember Bertie wearing it but I must check back in the archives

Good grief, Nobby what has the world come to when you are compelled to wear a rumpled pink frock??? I imagine you put up a good struggle or perhaps you were too stunned to protest. By all means, drag your feet if Gail tries to force you onto the street in that little outfit. The cherry blossoms are very beautiful; thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful cherry blossoms, Nobby. We think Gail should have the moniker "Naughty" next to her name for making you wear that dress. At least she didn't make you go out in public like that!
ReplyDeleteOh Nobby....While Mama says you look totally adorable in that dress, she can't even get us to where a dress lately. Would you perhaps like one of our pretty pink bandanas??
ReplyDeleteWe do hear our Angel Sister Dory really rocked a pink dress and wonder if Bertie was dressed up for a special Blogville pawty. We'll have to have Mama look back and see!
xoxo,
Rosy and Sunny
Wow! Those trees are really putting on a show! But I think that pink dress really isn't quite your style, Nobby.
ReplyDeleteBOL Nobby!
ReplyDeleteYa better be careful, you could get in trouble wearing dat pretty pink dress in Tennessee or Florida, BOL.
I don't know how, but your little town became even more charming. Are you going to a MASH coplay dressed like Klinger?
ReplyDeleteThose blossoms are way over the top gorgeous and glorious!!
ReplyDeleteNo need for embellishments with pink dresses, esp wrinkly ones, BOL!!
We are trying to get Lady to stop laughing at the dress and focus on the blossoms, but she is beside her self. We feel your pain dear friend. Lee and Phod who think you have overpaid the hat tax.
ReplyDeleteThose blossoms are so pretty, no need for a pink dress, you are gorgeous just as yourself Nobby!
