Problem solved

The problem of showering Archie down low has been solved. It suddenly occurred to us that he needs to be higher. A simple solution that's only taken us a year to figure out...

And so, today, while he was out for a run up Blackford Hill with JR, I set up his grooming table in the shower. Perfect. He had a lovely, long, thorough shower (note: not Archie's opinion, necessarily) with no bending over. With the added bonus of being able to reach the tap to turn off the water for lathering up, and therefore not get soaked when you put down the hand thingie and it suddenly turns on you! This will make life much easier.

He's now on my lap, smelling delicious, ready to watch some tennis.

Look at those skinny wee legs under all that hair, lol.
