Scruffy Mutt...

It's nearly time for his pre-holiday grooming session.  That's two hours of frustration with me on my knees chasing Alfred around the living-room with a stripping knife in hand.  Sounds brutal and it is - for my knees and fingers!  I'm having the same treatment myself on Friday morning, except for the being chased round the salon by a frustrated hairdresser brandishing a stripping knife bit!  Unlike sweet Alfs I'll be sitting nice and still enjoying a cup of tea until it's all done...  ;-)
