"Challenging" is good, right?
The word was being used quite a lot when Gail was getting a debrief on my behaviour from the nice couple I stayed with for four nights last week.
Of course I did not get a chance to point out that it was challenging for me too, not to be allowed to jump up on their tables and counters, and on their wee pup Hugo, all the time.
"Are all terriers this bouncy?" they also asked when Gail came to pick me up on Friday morning...
I had been wondering if this place might become my permanent holiday home, but for some reason Gail seemed hesitant to ask if I could stay there again...
PS from Gail: Nobby's hosts were awfully nice about it all, and I had tried to be honest with them about certain aspects of Nobby's behaviour before I headed off for my cycling break, but I suspect it'll be boarding kennels for the wee fellow (who incidentally, in terms of bounciness, rates as Bouncing Bertie on steroids...) next time I go away.
PPS On the plus side, They did say he was friendly, never ever aggressive (just "over-enthusiatic"), ate well, settled quietly at night, and had no 'accidents' in the house.
