I didnt sleep much last night and so fell asleep for an hour in the armchair this afternoon-
Watched over by a slightly concerned william
Who knew he was late for his walk
Welsh terriers are known for their natural habit of sitting and watching
He's very well behaved for a dog late for his walk. When our two are late for their walk they let me know all about it!! How's your cold? Weather absolutely blooming awful up here - pouring rain and gales and more to come apparently! Take care x
ReplyDeleteHe's thinking.."I slept fine so let's go."
ReplyDeleteI know that look, It can wake you up by it's silence.
ReplyDeletePerfect comment.
DeleteMy Scotties are like that the silence and the stare !
No one can sleep through that.
William is beautiful.
cheers, parsnip
Lol, I agree, it's a silence you can hear
DeleteA put-upon silence. You can hear it - and you can feel it.
DeleteYup my Harriet has perfected it too. It penetrates the deepest sleep and you open your eyes
Deleteand look straight into it !
John,
ReplyDeleteMaybe a nice brisk walk with the dogs will help you to sleep better when you return home.
Grab yourself a nice hot chamomile tea before going to bed my friend.
Looking at William, I can see why my late mother was a life-long Welsh Terrier fan.
ReplyDeleteWe use to have a border collie bitch and we had to spell lead "l-e-ad" and out "o-u-t" or hell would be let loose if we said those dreaded words. We always said she was half human. She's been dead ten years and we still talk about her every day. They are characters aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThen Sophie must be part Welsh Terrier, John, as she does the same thing if we are but a bit off schedule.
ReplyDeleteMine are fare weather walkers as well as this old man.
ReplyDeleteHe does look very concerned!
ReplyDeleteBless him, he's a cutie. Dogs can read your mind - I only had to 'think' about taking my Airedale for a walk and she would go berserk.
ReplyDeletehe looks so much like a teddy. He would look cool with a Biggles hat and goggles. He is already wind swept. Hows George and Bingley?
ReplyDeleteGeorge has been stealing eggs today so is fast asleep and constipated ..Bingley has just been fed his daily meal of cat food
DeleteWould this breed do well as a bark-when-stranger-at-the-door? He has such an inquisitive look.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a terrier thing. Angus and Fiona watched to front door for Tom to come home from work. They did it from the sofa, their heads over the arm. Eventually their rough whiskers wore through the upholstery. Speaking of..Tom whistled incessantly. A mockingbird picked up on that one year and delighted in whistling like Tom and bringing Angus and Fiona barking to the front door. We had no way of stopping it; a boisterous year or so.
ReplyDeleteThe man in my life sleeps so very well in his chair.
ReplyDeleteMy cat woke me this morning at six to tell me that she requested my presence to watch her eat.
So I got up and did that. Satisfied, we both went back to bed.
Aw, he is such an intelligent looking fellow, and so cute.
ReplyDeleteThey are also known for their natural habit of pooping on pavements and biting postmen's legs..
ReplyDeleteExquisite.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute sweet boy,so are you too,in case you were feeling left out ! xx
ReplyDeleteWilliam 'smiling into the wind' is one of my favourite photos. He's got a wonderful expression in the above photo x
ReplyDeleteHazzy
DeleteOut of all the animals at Bwthyn y llan, William has probably got the most sweetest of natures.
He's a gentle soul
I will swear that Tess, my Border Terrier, knows what day of the week it is and also can tell the time. We are creatures of habit - we eat at the same time each day, she has her walks at the same time each day, my cleaner comes on a Monday, the farmer and I always go to the Auction Mart of Friday mornings - she is ready and waiting for all these happenings. And if something changes she just sits and stares me out. Just like William (who is lovely by the way)
ReplyDeleteSo very sweet, he knows the schedule and you're not keeping to it.
ReplyDeleteSometimes they sits and thinks, and sometimes they just sits...

How adorable! Your own Welsh guardian angel.... or was there a little biscuit crumb on your chin?
ReplyDeleteHe looks gravely concerned about your immortal soul.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet and patient expression William has. Lily, our goldendoodle, can tell time... when the Great Scot works late she scoots closer and closer, and 'breathes' at me. She puffs air through her nose until she gets my attention, then begins running between me and the front door; she won't stop until my sweetheart gets home or until her "No search parties!"
ReplyDeleteSo cute
ReplyDeleteWilliam is adorable.
ReplyDeleteOur little Mickey is our barn clock. He's just so excited to go to the barn every.single.time.
Wiilliam the Watcher.
ReplyDeleteHe's lovely .... how very dare you keep him waiting for his walk!!
ReplyDeleteHis look says 'Dad... Dad are you awake?, I really need to go out quite urgently.' LIKE NOW!
