She's short-haired and brown so generally a rub down with a towel is good enough. I did have a shock recently, though, when I took her bed (which is in a dark corner) outside and saw the state of it! I'd definitely leave the hairdressing to the professionals :-) Sam xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-20894304137987329852018-01-06T10:13:14.201+00:002018-01-06T10:13:14.201+00:00Muddy or not, it's great to get outside - prob...Muddy or not, it's great to get outside - probably essential with boys and a dog in the house! Great to see photos of the hunt riding out - a little trip down memory lane for me as that was the family Boxing Day outing when I was young and living in Dorset, although the whole fox culling thing went over my head at that age. Wishing you all the best for 2018, CJ - including time to write! xxCarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-78017252624804384632018-01-05T06:10:24.039+00:002018-01-05T06:10:24.039+00:00Dear CJ, I have just discovered your blog.

We zip him in after a long country walk when he's exhausted. He'll put up with it for around an hour, then he insists on his dignity being returned.
