If you say you can't, you won't .



 



Bhub and Sofeee . The strawberry lady knows the pups by name. So too does the waitress at the cafe under the arcades. The same goes for the more sober of the beer and absinthe set and the two cheese ladies at the Sunday market. Strange that both cheese ladies should have been diagnosed with cancer at the same time . Each of them now fully recovered but carefully wrapped up against the morning chill in thick scarves and sweaters. For Bob and Sophie crumbs of Salers from the first , the tiniest sliver of Gouda from the second.

Shopping done we head home.  The little angels are bathed. Bob accepts his lot in silence. Sophie squeals and squirms.  Their noses washed to remove a fortnights worth of  ingrained mud. Then they are groomed. Sophie adores the attention , Bob loathes it. 

By lunchtime they both look as though they could do with a bath.

Sorry Angus. Trying to distinguish between pre- and post- bath photos, but no success so far...
Cheers! Gail.

Merlin regards his brush, comb and the bath as instruments of torture. His reaction to being groomed should win him a doggy Oscar.
Have a great day.

Those dirty noses are still cute as ever.
"By lunchtime they both look as though they could do with a bath".....oh the joys of having a dog as a family member.
Can't talk too hard, but ..you know who, is next in line for a b-a-t-h.

At least they made it to lunchtime, I've had a time or two where another was needed right away.

Oooooh, la fromage! What a nice treat for these two sweet pups!

Uh oh Sophie was giving you the poor pitiful Pon look! Maybe she should be told it isn't a bath...it is a spa experience.

Oh the look that Sophie has on her darling face! Our Tucker gives us that same, sad, forlorn look....melts your heart. Aren't bath times just so much fun?

Those lustrous, black noses! They're so delightful. We're mad for them!

We join Winchester whisperer in booing the cancer demon.
