As you can tell, since Monday I have had a chance to calm down and think realistically about my beloved having been scalped. I guess my dad was right in bringing him to the pooch parlour for a little cut, but boy was it one big shock when I saw him for the first time! One of the biggest shockers was his tail once long, fluffy and decorative - turned thin, whippy and rat like.
Jed is now around 13 and this is the very first year that the decision has been made to relieve him of his fur coat, but I wonder how many humans make it an annual outing? I suppose it does really make sense doesn't it?
Imagine a Border Collie... Now think Staffie...Does that have any affect?!
The sun is shining again here in Pembrokeshire today which, when I am working from our South County office in Tenby always prompts a long walk down to the Harbour and beach at lunch. I think tonight I will venture into the outdoors and bring Jed to Carew Castle and take the walk around the Mill - though I will walk from Cosheston on the back lane to Milton then onto Carew. Takes me around 2 hours to complete but it is a lovely walk, especially when the tide is in.
Oh gosh, then I may even pop into Carew Inn across the road to sit in the same beer garden as Russell Crowe himself only a few days before! At the moment Freshwater West beach, which is a long stretch of golden sand, blue sea and plentiful sand dunes and dog friendly ALL YEAR ROUND (Jed's favourite) is host to the new Robyn Hood epic.
The Crowe man himself along with a huge cast is therefore down in Pembrokeshire at the moment shooting a few takes down Fresh Water. Russell then only goes and pops in for some grub and a few beers at Carew Inn on Sunday evening!! Must have been his day off...
