Perfect visitors

So yesterday I asked Gail if Marse and Nikki, her friends from Tacoma, Washington, could stay here with us in Torridon for ever and ever.

You know what? I think my owner is a bit dim. She replied with a question: "Now why is that Nobby?".

The calm before the storm?

Sometimes, when there's not much going on in our Aberdeen street, I take a break from guard duty at the front window and enjoy a wee nap.

Gail tells me that her first dog, Hamish the Westie, also used to doze off perched on the back of the sofa, but 'Bouncing' Bertie never even climbed up there.

Apparently, I should enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts. Two of Gail's American friends, Marse and Nikki, arrive on Sunday for a 12 day visit. 

I am instructed to be on best behaviour throughout their stay....

Er, seriously?
