Thanks Balders but whilst I was aware how neglected he was I sorta went into denial. He was definitely very ill - hardly any fur and pink skin showing through - now I do mean his coat is beautiful but he loathes getting showered. I groomed him the other night and whilst could get the coat good - he squeaked when I tried his legs so he may need a wee clip soon at the pro groomers.
good on you, connie, life goes on - I'm waiting to see if The White Company discount their light trees close in, nice looking but not for eighty sheets.
