As you can see, the animals in our house have rather a hard life!!  Still, they do give an enormous amount of pleasure.....and work......this morning good old George (the clean-looking golden retriever) had a wonderful time rolling in freshly laid fox.....you know what!  Yuk!  Quite disgusting - so the next half an hour was spent shampooing and generally scrubbing her down.  What I do for love!
