Hi Louisa,feel no shame Shimba hasn't had a brush near his coat since the show nearly three weeks ago & because we are doing some DIY around the house at the moment I haven't even given him or any of the others their quick going over with the slicker brush so thats two of us not doing coat duty ....!

Blimey Jackie doesn't look like he's not been brushed for that long, he must be naturally good-looking!

Monty won't let me near him with the comb, I can only get away with it when he's fast asleep but even then I have only a small window of opportunity before he's on to me *sigh*! It was much easier when he was little. Very highly-strung creature. He does manage to keep himself knot-free apart from a couple of knots on his chest which we are just going to have to live with. But he looks like such a scruff...nothing that just a little comb wouldn't sort out...Monty, come here!! Might have to start bribing him with prawns.

I can just imagine Monty disappearing into the beyond with you still waving a comb behind him in one hand & a prawn{king size of course in the other}bless.....
Thats where I have found the slicker a big help,for some reason they think it is a back scratcher & both Bruce & Welly push their head right into it so by having them laying around in different spots & just picking them up & giving them a quick flick for some reason they don't associate it with grooming,just hasn't happened recently with other things going on. I think with Shimba having a pretty short coat on top works to his benefit,just wish he would grow a ruff even if I did have to comb it daily....!

That's interesting Jackie, I actually have a slicker brush but tend not to use it because it doesn't go all the way through the coat. But it would certainly spruce them up. I'll give it a try!

At last have managed to get everything wrapped now starting the next bit of Shimbas tombola,rolling the tickets & tucking them into bits of straws,takes a while but adds to the fun on the day,just think it is going to take longer than usual with two certain boys around.....!

Aww look at those 2 lovely lads trying to help!!
Wonder how many of the little straws ended up on the floor? You might be finding them under the furniture for weeks to come!
But would we have it any other way?
