Deburring the dog

Jess and I have spent a lot of time (me working and she looking for frogs) in our overgrown garden today and one of the consequences is a lot of sticky foliage in her coat.

Here is Martin brushing the little burs out: you can tell she doesn't like it much.

I went out for a bit of a spending spree this morning after receiving an unexpected windfall.  It was absolutely brilliant.
