I'll put my hand up and say that they were heading that way Alena bought a comb with the rotating pins but it didn't work too well so now we've had to really get to grips, it'll take a while but I hope they will be looking like a Newfie should look when it's all done.

Front tubs also now layered like a bulb lasagne, tulips, daffodils have run out of Iris's so that will have to wait however better to of run out of the top layer than the bottom LOL think I may go with crocus on the top the the big one with the Iris's decisions decisions. Also decided on some pansy's on the top for instant colour now.

Never having a long coated dog before is it possible to cut the fur?

Yes Kazz it is possible, in fact it's essential, but last year and beginning of this year I was undergoing the heavy double chemo and not up to the job so their coats got a bit long and neglected and that was a factor in the 'mats' appearing.


I now have a nice battery operated clipper and attachments and the 'cowboy magic' so all set up to sort out the problem
