Zurie went out briefly this morning to deliver the local Christmas cards - he stood in the conservatory and refused to come in until Simon took off his coat - his expression was "I don't believe it- is that ALL we're doing this morning??"
Weather forecast is dryer later so maybe we'll get a walk without the dreaded dog-coats if we wait a bit!
The girls really HATE their dog-coats - they just don't "do" clothes!
Their expressions and body language when the coats come out say it all - head down, tails at half mast - its amazing how quickly they forget they're wearing them tho when they reach the fields and I release them to "Go play" (their favourite words!)
Gradually working throo the pre-Christmas baths + trims - Ebs completed yesterday - Frankies turn today - all to be done by the end of the week (I'll post a picture then if I've managed to complete the marathon) -Mind you- that's nothing compared with Jane's task (Frankie+ Fiki's breeder at Itzapromise) she currently has 18 standard poodle pups to prepare for their new owners!!
Fiki's speciality is"washing ears" to reassure and welcome visitors or draping herself over "special" visitors laps if she thinks they need some emotional care!
Frankie likes to sit in a chair in the conservatory-if she finds a visitor sitting in it she just climbs onto their lap and pretends to be a blanket!
No snow here this year - but Zurie still likes to watch the gate for Santa???
or maybe just the postman - the highlight of his day!
Happy Christmas to you all!
