There are some humans whose very proximity prompts one's tail to enter a state of involuntary hyperactive wagging, even before one realises quite why one feels so excited.
Of course, it didn't take long on Sunday morning to remember that Gail's friend M carries very delicious and generously sized biscuits in her coat pocket, and she can be relied upon to offer these to a certain enthusiastic fox terrier when we meet at the start of a walk.
To be honest, the treat bit was the highlight of our Sunday excursion along the river with M and J.
I think I've mentioned before that it has been raining quite a lot in Aberdeen just lately. The walk came to an abrupt end when the path disappeared into the still swollen river Dee.

I really don't know why Gail and J were wasting time debating the issue. I could have told them right away we were going to have to turn back!
What a lovely waggy tail you have Nobby! Mine is like yours and depending what sort of treats are offered, it goes into over-drive if I 'm given something really special!
ReplyDeleteHumans are sometimes unfathomable aren't they - anyone could see that you weren't going any further on your walk, unless you had a boat!

Nothing beats a peep that always has a treat or two in their pocket for us!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Nobby, they're going to have to turn back.

ReplyDeleteWell, Nobby, you ace the tail-wagging, that's fur certain! As for the walk, even waders would not really have helped I suspect! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
You sure were happy to see the biscuit lady, Nobby. Too bad the river swallowed the path you were walking on.
ReplyDeleteThat Deeside riverbank must have only just recovered from last winter's flooding. Shame about your shortened walk but we can't risk wee Nobby getting swept away... what would we do for speed tail entertainment then?
ReplyDeleteRain stopped play - what a shame. Still, you had some lovely treats and your tail was well exercised.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the shortened walk...but you had us at biscuits!!

ReplyDeleteWe don't think that tail could go any faster! Very impressive!
