Can you believe that of late a couple of Gail's friends suggested to her that I might just be getting a wee bit chubby?
Even my owner had begun to wonder.
It is true some things are having to change in the Gail and Nobby household, as Gail is sadly no longer able to take me on my customary frequent long walks. But fret not, I now have a crack team of willing helpers and so I am in no way going short of exercise.
For example, on Saturday, our friend John took me on a most enjoyable romp up an old favourite, Millstone Hill.
You'll see in the photo John took on the walk that I was looking very shaggy, Gail having been neglecting my normal grooming routine this month.
We all know the line: "He's not fat he's fluffy".
So Gail (with the invaluable assistance of dear YAM-aunty) took me for my first ever professional grooming appointment on Sunday and you know what?
A three hour session with nice Emily at the Dog Cabin near Inverurie revealed that I was not overweight after all!
Quite svelte in fact, don't you think?
Very smart indeed Nobby. And a seasonal bandana to boot!

ReplyDeleteWell Nobby, I have to say that when Gail brought you out of the groomers I wasn't sure she'd been given back the same dog! Not just svelte but properly spiffy!!! Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
yes, you look perfect, you always have. I love you fluffy and I love you svelte. I bet you were not a naughty Nobby at all getting your professional unfluff..
ReplyDeleteNot an ounce of fat on you, Nobby, and your haircut looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou do look very smart, Nobby. I'm glad for you and Gail that YAM-Aunty came to help.
ReplyDeleteA three hour spa session! - you lucky devil Nobby - and yes you do indeed look most svelte. Hugs to Gail.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Nobby you look 87 kinds of extra super duper handsome. Last time I had my hair cut, I asked Debra why she cut all my brown hair away leaving me with all gray. She laughed. I think I need to have a session with Ms. Emily. I bet she could find my brown hair and maybe even make me look slim too. I do so love your waves and that very proud WFT tail.
ReplyDeleteWill you, YAM-aunty and Gail please exchange hugs from us.

You look fabulous, Nobby! We could tell that it was all fluff and no fat.
ReplyDeleteHappy that it all worked so well, and as a favorite person commented, not only svelte, but spiffy, too! And happily, also, no need to reduce treats, breakfasts or dinners. An all-around win!
ReplyDeleteNobby, you look stunning! If only I could shed extra weight so easily. You might need to put on one of your nice jumpers to stay warm.
ReplyDeleteWow Nobby...You look like a whole new pup and OMD, is that a neckerchief we spy around your neck?? So very handsome!

Nobby you look so svelte now, and there's not an inch of surplus fat on you, so no need for a diet! We are sorry to hear that Gail can no longer take you on your usual walks, but hope we'll see some photos of the walks your willing admirers take you on.
ReplyDeletePlease let us know how Gail is.
Love,

We never thought you were fat, Nobby. And now you surely look so svelte with your new grooming. Ms. Emily did a superb job. We hope that maybe soon Gail will be able to take a short walk with you around the garden.

Nobby, You look lovely and not at all chubby! (Rosie on the other hand, is very chubby and the vet tell Mom that every time she goes!) We are glad that you are getting your walks so that Gail does not worry about you and we hope she is feeling a little better every day!

I have heard the same thing. :People need to mind their own business.
