It seems to me rather unfair that one minute one's owner is complaining about the high cost of dog ownership, but then no soon as a particular dog comes up with a smart scheme for earning his keep, all he gets is ridicule...
So the other day Gail took me for a walk around the harbour area and we noticed a fine cruise ship docked in the new(ish) deep water South Harbour. It gave me an idea.
Surely, among those hundreds (maybe thousands) of cruise ship passengers, a fair number of them will be desperately missing their canine companions? Many of these lost souls would, I suggest, pay good money to spend their shore time being shown the sights of Aberdeen by a knowledgable, friendly and handsome wire-haired fox terrier.
I would allow them to pet me and give me treats. Perhaps an extra charge for lap cuddle time would be justified?
And if any of the passengers should worry that their pet back home might be feeling jealous and resentful, I would be prepared to sign a confidentiality agreement to the effect that "what goes on tour, stays on tour".
I would, however, draw the line at being photographed wearing a kilt...
Friends, please tell Gail she is wrong in using words like "far-fetched", "preposterous" and "absurd" to describe my brilliant business plan.
