Sorry, didn't mean to upset you. Do you have dogs yourself now? We have two little terrors (sorry I mean terriers, border terriers) They certainly need your other halfs attention in the spring, It takes me ages to strip them, well the young one anyway, because he won't stay still long enough. He is not yet 3. Quite often last year he was running around with a lop sided haircut.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
