summer bath-time

Retrieving and swimming, Waiatarua

Well, she had to have a swim after this.

hair trim time

Allez! doesn't mind this at all, providing she gets to play afterwards.

Allez! and Matabele out walking

definitely needing a trim

Allez!s coat doesn't shed, so it needs to be cut. It's more of a wool than fur.


We trim her coat. It just takes a pair of sharp scissors. I usually do this when the ladies are out at the weekends ... it's easier that way, otherwise I get convoluted instructions on hairdressing, much wincing & and a lot of interference.


Allez! doesn't mind - she's quite happy to sit as I wield the scissors around, providing she gets to play afterwards.


Best we ask for forgiveness, and I practice selective hearing.
