The perfect host?

We have two lovely ladies from the USA staying with us in Aberdeen right now. I am thinking that my canine pals might appreciate some tips on how to look after visitors from overseas.

I believe guests will always enjoy kisses and licks on their face while sipping their early morning coffee.

Then a trip up Royal Deeside to Balmoral Castle is of course a must, especially if the visitors are American. It is however a bit embarrassing if one's (English) owner consistently shows her ignorance when she is bombarded with questions about the British monarchy...

Back in Aberdeen, even the hardest working tour guide will deserve a break to play with canine friends down at the harbour mouth. 
(I am thinking that my later ball-stealing antics  at the beach - sadly unrecorded on camera - provided a highlight unmatched by all other tourist entertainments available in the Granite City. Imagine, I kept our friends amused for a whole twenty minutes while I evaded capture and refused to return my prize to its rightful owner...)
 
Oh and one more thing. Your guests will surely be thrilled if you insist they accompany you to your beginners' agility class and you make them stand around in a field for an hour swatting away the midges while they video the finer points of your performance.


Yes, I really think I've cracked this 'perfect host' business, don't you agree?

  2. Well Nobby, you are doing a lot to re-cement Anglo-American relations, which seem to have been coming apart lately.
    Yes, a perfect host, though I'm not sure I'd want to stand about being eaten by midges for a whole hour. Couldn't Gail have shown them a video of how well your agility classes are going?
    You look right at home outside Balmoral however - almost to the Manor born!
    Love,
    Amber xx
