The calm before the storm?


Sometimes, when there's not much going on in our Aberdeen street, I take a break from guard duty at the front window and enjoy a wee nap.

Gail tells me that her first dog, Hamish the Westie, also used to doze off perched on the back of the sofa, but 'Bouncing' Bertie never even climbed up there.


Apparently, I should enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts. Two of Gail's American friends, Marse and Nikki, arrive on Sunday for a 12 day visit. 

I am instructed to be on best behaviour throughout their stay....

Er, seriously?

    Well, Nobby, I am willing to bet that even at rest, you are on alert! As for the visitation behaviour rights... you'll have lots to show and tell, of this I am certain! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  5. You look comfy up there Nobby, and have a lovely view.
    I'm in trouble, apparently I've been a very naughty girl. I have shredded some vertical blinds in the room called a naya - like a Conservatory with a proper tiled roof. It's where I sleep and I did it in the middle of last night, then barked to wake Carol up to show her what a clever girl I'd been! She wasn't best pleased and I got a telling off! I can only agree with you, humans are very funny about some things we do aren't they?
    Love,

  6. 12 days of 'best behaviour' is a tall ask isn't it Nobby? Surely the visitors would better enjoy a full-on Nobby than the dull silent treatment. Paw smacks Mr T

  8. I am sure the naughty nobby will come out at least once or twice, but lately you have been so good and the nice nobby is in appearance more and more. age changes us for sure. Humans sometimes get MORE naughty as they age. enjoy your visitors and looking forward to reading all about it

  9. Nobby you will truly be King of your Castle. I bet there will receive a ton of attention and head pats. There will be lots of gabby and chatter for the next 12 days so rest up and perhaps order some ear plugs.
    I love that perch you have
    Hugs Cecilia

  10. That's a great spot for a nap and to keep watch over the neighborhood, Nobby. We can't wait to hear all about the adventures you take Marse and Nikki on during their stay with you.

    I also like to snooze on the couch while gazing out the front window!

  12. You look quite comfy, Nobby. We never get to go on the furniture here [ something to do with all that fur:). We love having company - lots of attention coming your way we hope. Be a good boy and we know they will love you.

  13. Angels Joey and Chester used to sit on the back of the sofa and watch out the window for all possible invaders, and give a loud warning when they see anyone.

  14. I love that spot too. I hope your mom's friends don't cause unrest.

  15. Hopefully those ladies will be wonderful and love on you Nobby, so that you won't need to do naughty things to get attentions, BOL!
    We don't have any strategically placed couches for us to use as lookout perches.

  16. That is an excellent perch to keep an eye on the goings on Nobby! And you will be the first to spy your friends who are coming to visit...they better bring some good treats for you, right?
