Er, hi, this is Angus the Black Labrador here. Woof woof!
My irrepressible WFT neighbour Nobby has suggested I do a guest post on his blog this week, to fit in YAM-aunty's Final Friday Feature slot.
I'll admit I hesitated at first, not really having much of a clue about the whole blogging business, but Nobby's a persistent wee fellow, and he said go on Angus, it's a piece of cake, and told me I should just ramble on about any old topic, and maybe someone out there will read it. Or maybe they won't. It doesn't really matter.
As I'm a lab, of course he had me at "piece of cake".
So first let me tell you a bit about myself. I am seven years old and I live right across the road from Gail and Nobby with my owner Jim and his wife Maggie. I used to get lots of walks in the park, but unfortunately Jim hasn't been so well these past few months and so Gail has been taking me out for an hour or so every Tuesday afternoon.
I'm rather relieved that Nobby stays at home on these walks because, to be honest, he can be a bit 'full on', whereas I am a calm and sober type and I don't much like pesky little terriers jumping all over me.
Gail took these photos of me in the park this week, saying if I posed among the crocuses this post would also qualify for the LLB Gang's 'Nature Friday', whatever that is.
I'm sure you are admiring my sleek and glossy black coat.
After our walk, Jim generally invites Gail in for a cup of tea and I sit quietly on the sofa listening to the conversation.
Don't tell Nobby, but this week Gail praised my conduct in the park and told Jim she has far fewer "nervous moments" when out with me than when her own ball-thieving explosion of mischief in canine form is on the loose.
Well that's all for now. Maybe I'll be invited to post again sometime, although it has been pointed out that Nobby will preview my contribution and, while he's let it go this time, he might in future be inclined to censor any unflattering references to his behaviour...
Woof woof!
