A Pitch for Dog Grooming

An un-retouched photo of our darling before a trip to Wet Noses, the groomers.

...and here she is after a wash, shave and cut! You can see she is happy to be clean.

Just for the record, I wash her at least once a week, but she is such a gregarious thing, rolling over for a stomach rub from anyone who will pet her at any time or any place; sand, dirt, marble or cement, that she has been called "The Swifter" or Mops. Needless to say this does not make for a clean and tidy dog....but she is loved by many, and that is what it is all about, isn't it?
