A walk with Bertie

It's a regular morning routine now, a longish walk in the wide open countryside at the back of my home with Bertie and Fiona. 

This morning, though, only Bertie appeared when I whistled........so off he and I went....

When we approached the Skunk Hotel, Bertie HAD to take a look, of course.........

and then, as no one was home, Bertie stretched out for a two minute rest.....

Then we made our way home.....
Fifi will be disappointed that she missed out on today's hike......
