Truly horrible flight . The fasten seat belt sign on from take off to landing. Asked the stewardess for a glass of gods amber nectar but got given a chocolate biscuit instead. Something to do with not serving alcohol in turbulence. Would have thought that was the one time you did want to have a stiff drink. Arrived like a badly made, alcohol free, martini - both shaken and stirred.Wilf was in the airport arrivals hall . He'd become bored with waiting and decided to turn onto his back and catch up on his sleep. Comfort over decorum. He was still like this, snoring lightly, when I arrived. An emotional tongue in ear greeting ( from Wilf, not 'the font' ) and then a leisurely saunter back across the car park. The wheel arches of one large Mercedes SUV attracting his full attention. Tyre christening over he moves on, a spring in his step which said ' normal service resumed '.
hate those kinds of flights! At least you had Wilf to greet you.....oh yeah, and presumably 'the font'.
ReplyDeleteRe the martini reference, perhaps the stewardess should hav given you an olive.
XXXOOO Daisy, kendra & Bella
Amazing. Sleeping in an airport is a very special talent!
ReplyDeleteWhose tongue, whose ear ?
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you're back Angus, and sorry for the horrible flight. Hope your conference were successufll.
ReplyDeleteIf it's Wilfee's tongue in my ear, i am okay too !
Enjoy this sunday sweet Wilf, i send you all my love, cuddles and bisous.
Welcome back Angus! I was just reading an old news story where a dog was met at an airport in China by a motorcade of 30 black Mercedes-Benz cars--I would take being greeted by Wilf over that any day!! I hope your meetings with the men in the dark suits went better than your flight!
ReplyDeleteHate those flights, but glad you made it in safe. Nothing like an enthusiastic greeting to help you forget the ordeal.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that Wilf was there to welcome you home after such a horrid flight. The best possible way back to normality.
ReplyDeleteLove the polar bear fotos - well highest honour when mine greets me with the tongue in ear procedure - good to know you are all back on track - Love Susanne Daisy and Foxiie
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Angus,
ReplyDeleteI am sure that Wilf's welcome home greeting made you forget all about your lousy flight. ;)
Blessings and Love,
Janelle and Maggie Mae

no tongue in the ear from the font?!
ReplyDeletelanding is the best part!!
xoxo
Sleeping in the waiting lounge, paws in the air, again? I smile at the thought.
ReplyDeleteDo the fancy car owners ever get made about the tyre christening? Just wondering... I'd laugh if my junker was christened by Wilf!
The tongue in ear greetings surely made up for the shaken ride. Glad you arrived safely Angus. I am amazed that he is able to snooze in the airport :) It surely must have drawn quite a lot of smiles for everyone around.
ReplyDeleteIts early morning here, just Willow and I, the rest of the house is still slumbering, but after my extremely loud laugh at the part of the "tongue in the ear" greeting, I suspect the rest of the house shall awaken! Even Willow raised an eye from her gentle snoring... Brilliant! And good for Wilf for resuming normal service...keep going Wilf!!
ReplyDeleteLove your pals from Canada,
Dianna along with Tor, Willow and Tucker
Snoozing in the airport---feet in the air... what a picture that would be..
ReplyDeleteWay to go christening those tires
Woofs

So glad you're safely back, with Wilf there to greet you.
ReplyDeleteTruly, I do think there is a conspiracy out there to make the whole flying experience as unpleasant as possible these days.
Cheers!
Gail.
The pack together again. A sheepdog's delight.
ReplyDeleteHappy that you made it back safely. Hey, that tongue in the ear from 'the font' wouldn't be such a bad thing, either, would it☺
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you arrived safely, albeit both shaken and stirred. Wilf must be very relieved!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a twooly howwid vewsion of a Mawtooni..mommi and Daddi like it the wegoolaw way and agwee that tuwboolance would be a pawfect time to enjoy one. Having Dawling Wilf waiting and gweeting you , is the payoff fow a dweadful flight.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that he is feeling well enough to chwisten those wheels
smoochie kises

Better turbulence than screaming, ill behaved kids or a seat mate with poor hygiene.
ReplyDeleteThe flock together again must feel very good to all.
I don't think a tongue in ear greeting from the font would be such a bad thing for you! Not that a greeting like that from Wilf is anything to complain about, either, mind you!
ReplyDeleteSuddenly I'm not sorry that I don't get to fly more often!
I'm very fortunate that I've never had a rough flight that I remember. I only recall one flight where we were told there was a lot of turbulence but it was smooth sailing (or rather, a smooth flight!) all the way.
ReplyDeleteGlad you arrived safely and had Wilf (and 'the font') to greet you.
Welcome home!
