Torridon equations

One swim in the loch,

Plus one coastal hike,

Plus one café stop,

Plus a two-lap cuddle,

Plus one last look at the hills before bed,

Equals one very happy wire-haired fox terrier.

But one exciting venture into the bog.*...

...Equals one not so happy owner.

*Gail says: With a remarkable recent run of warm and rain-free weather in the Torridon area, the ground  is drier now than I've seen it in the twenty years I've been coming here. But Nobby still manages to locate a deep bog and dive right in!

    Well, Nobby, what does Gail expect - you, after all, pure Terrier!!! I agree with Tigger - that loch is looking like the next destination! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  6. Cold swim in the loch, I imagine. I laughed at your appearance after the bog expedition - sorry, Nobby.

  7. Oh dear, after the perfect day I think you might have spoiled your reputation of being the perfect host. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to wait until last for a dip in the bog! You can't complain if you're given a bath afterwards.
    Love,

  8. Nobby the weather has been such a pleasant surprise for your visitors.
    WOW almost like Gail ordered it. You are certainly getting tons of wonderful loving and hugs. I'm guessing, after your romp in the bog, there were no laps willing to host you until you had a bath
    Hugs to you, Gail and your visitors

  9. Oh Nobby, it's been such a grandly perfect time, hasn't it? Surely one small dip in the bog would be okay to top off things?

  10. Oscar did that today - not a drip of rain fr weeks and yet he still found the only wet bog to splodge in - and the only bit of wet fox poo to roll in! Top dogs though aren't they!
