A walking advert.


Sophie starts her Sunday morning with the observation that the moles have been busy on  the lawn. At least twenty fresh mole hills this morning. This is a cause for much excitement  .... and fevered but inept digging.


She is given a quick grooming to remove some of the mud from her paws and muzzle. It goes without saying that the moles are completely safe. Sophie's mole hunting routine is like her C-A-T chasing routine - full throated.

Sophie is told she's a walking advert for having short haired dogs.

How annoying the moles must be. We are glad that we don't have them here.

Sophie, you need to remind Angus that dogs with short hair shed all over the place.
Toodle pip!

Yes, short haired dogs do shed all over the place! Inca Lab moults the whole year round, and I could stuff a pillow after I've groomed her! Like Sophie, half an hour after a copious grooming, I could remove the same amount again.

I was just about to say the same thing about short-haired dogs! Supposedly PONs have hair, not fur, but in any event Cherry doesn't shed and we never get that distinctive wet dog smell I remember from other (short-haired) dogs.

Wow, Angus, your lawn looks a bit like a war-zone, and I agree, that Sophie may lose the battle with them. But we all agree that you can't blame her for trying.

Lala is the colour of a polar bear and not much smaller, being a Mioritic Shepherd cross. This is her first winter with us and we have found she more closely resembles a brown bear after her walks. The amount of mud she brings in on her paws is incredible. Our steam mop needs a holiday.

Thank you. Now I know there is a breed that can match a PON in terms of dirt distribution !

The scotties are usually and advert for short-haired dogs, but then white Roxy hairs on EVERYTHING counters that argument.
