Mabel the scruffy

Border Terriers like my beloved Mabel need their top coat hand stripped every 6 months or so - a long and hairy task. But its too darned cold to deprive her of her fur coat just yet, so shaggy she will stay until Spring arrives.

She is sticking close to her Dad at present, just in case he tries to head off to India again. A day of paperwork and preparation for an auditing trip to Dublin next week. Shh! Don't tell Mabel....
