Was Gail right in thinking I needed to be all spiffed up ahead of the monthly Aberdeen and shire Fox Terrier walk this weekend?
On Saturday morning she declared: "Surely Nobby you want to look your best for your WFT girlfriend Agatha tomorrow."
So I was subjected to a bath (with shampoo - the horror....), a light strip and trim of my winter furs including my beard, ears and, oh the indignity, a close clip of furs around my private parts.
(I'd worked so hard at growing a long bushy beard and am not at all convinced by Gail's assertion that hipster-style facial fuzz is outmoded.)
Then on Sunday at 11 a.m. we met the usual foxy gang, this month at Aden Country Park.
I leave it to you to decide whether Agatha, seen here chasing me at full throttle, strikes you as the kind of gal who judges a chap on the finer points of his grooming routine...
Aden Country Park, near Mintlaw, is a fair bit north of Aberdeen and the snowdrops here were still in full bloom. Here's a nice picture of me posing quietly, Agatha being momentarily otherwise occupied...
Oh, and here's my darling Agatha, back again...
