I dropped Ted off at his dog groomers first thing this morning, only to discover I was an hour early for his 3 monthly appointment. Of course I felt guilty for him but as the dog groomer mentioned, he does whine a lot, so I wanted rid quickly.

Then I drove to town to drop off more sheep.  My field was severely diminished so it was good to refill and rearrange it.  The sheep are selling slowly but steadily.

I had left OH for the day dog-sitting Pepper who hates being on her own.  Luckily, as he thought it was going to rain (he is painting outside), he was happy to stay at home until I returned.  Apparently, they went on a very nice walk so I stopped worrying about Pepper.  Anyway, she has Monster.

No cruise ships in today, which made the town quiet.

I did a few messages and had some good chats with long lost friends.

And then I went to collect Ted, who was his usual abominable self at the dog-groomers (I feel so sorry for her) and took him home.  To Ted’s credit, though, there was only minimal whining in the car on the drive back so that’s a slight improvement.  Ted is a creature of habit. Anything out of the ordinary is unthinkable.

Ted looks very handsome.  I knoww Mum would not approve – she hated seeing him with a short coat but it is my choice now and I think he looks so much better when he is not a greasy muppet.
