Today we met a posh lady while we were out walking with Rick. She was wearing pink Hunters (posh wellington boots). Paul said they were red. They were definitely pink. Rick stopped to sniff her dog, a pretty little Spaniel. “Come along Hunter,” she said, dragging her designer dog away from our scruffy little half-breed. Seriously, she had named her dog after her wellies! “Come ‘ere Rick!” Paul shouted. In hindsight I suppose “Viens ici Reeeque” would have sounded far more classy.
Rick loves his new bed |
If i have to choose between the boots and the dog, i shall take Rick.
ReplyDeleteYou can't have Rick, he's mine!
DeleteThat was my way of saying how lucky you are:)
DeleteI know, just teasing x
DeleteIf you have fat legs, and I do, then Hunters never fit. I was given a pair years ago and they were never worn until I cut them down (to size at the ankles).
ReplyDeleteI need some new boots but I doubt they will be Hunters. I think that's funny you cut yours down.
DeleteAh, bless her heart. (Southern USA code for "what a dumbass")
ReplyDeleteHa-ha, you make me laugh!
DeleteHunter boots, which were originally used by the horsey set to wear for mucking out their stalls, are now a sign of elitism in Canada, especially on university campuses. They cost $180.00 (Canadian). For rubber boots, which are now produced in China. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteSame thing here, about £70 for a pair of wellies with the Hunter logo on.
DeleteToo bad Rick didn't lift a leg on them.
ReplyDeleteHe was too interested in sniffing Hunter's bum.
DeleteIf I had a dog I would need to call it Wynsor World of Shoes.
ReplyDeleteNot an easy name to call when you want your dog back.
DeleteThat's not as bad as the Kennel Club name of one of ours - "All Things Bright and Beautiful of Tintagel Winds Labradors" - our much missed Petite-Chose. She was French too !
DeleteI'm going to have to dream up a Kennel Club name for Rick now.
DeleteDon't tell me she was wearing a pink Barbour as well.
ReplyDeleteNavy quilted jacket. (Only Katie Price would wear pink boots with pink Barbour.)
