How to take a good walk in Scotland. Guest post by Barb’s dog Peri.
Dear Barb’s readers:
Supposedly Mark Twain called playing golf “a good walk spoiled”. But that’s just because he never took a walk on a little Scottish island with Barb.
Now, everyone knows there are exactly three reasons to go for a walk.
Reason #1. Find exotic poo from other animals. Eat it.
Reason #2. Find something muddy and disgusting. Roll in it.
Reason #3. Combine #1 and #2.
I’ve been trying to explain this to Barb for years, but she still doesn’t get it. Take last Sunday. She kept blethering on about hills and heather and some nonsense about the view. But I can tell you from personal experience that she didn’t eat any poo, nor did she roll in anything smelly.
I feel sorry for her. Truly I do.

Hi Peri – you are completely right. We humans need to learn to relax about life’s good stuff. 😉

Barb will NEVER get that. (We’re talking someone who can’t even lick her private parts in public…)

Delightful Barb! The animal perspective is enlightening and can be such fun. The two divas that run this house have their own blog for which this human serves as the typist… 🙂

Are you sure she didn’t do any of that while you weren’t looking, Peri?

Good point! I get blamed for lots of stuff she thinks happens when nobody is looking. (Do you really think I do ALL the farts?)–Peri

Peri, my sister’s dog says fox poo is the best thing ever to roll in. And the fragrance lingers in the car for days!

Peri says if Barb loved her, she’d get fox poo. (Although she does have VERY fond memories of that gourmet cheese she liberated from your bag…)

Dot the dog here. I know from experience that rolling in stuff makes them angry and then they wash all that good stuff off! Humans! If they didn’t feed us we would be better off without them. Gotta run. Someone’s in the kitchen and there might be a treat!

Peri agrees with you. She says you would understand how she can ignore Barb yelling her name from ten feet away, but still hear the sound of cheese hitting a cracker from three floors down…

LOL – she probably doesn’t feel sorry for herself!
