A wee bath

The haar was here this morning, but thankfully lifted by midday. The castle disappears! But Archie and I had a wander down to the Meadows to see who we could see (not far!). We did meet up with Woody, a chocolate cockapoo - we've met him before.

But Woody was a digger. And while Woody's owner and I chatted about the
Referendum, the two naughty doggies went off digging. Archie was a dirty mess. And so, as we were having visitors later, I stuck him in the sink to wash his legs and chin.

And I've discovered the best way to brush him without too much protesting. Sit on the floor, put him on my legs on his back when he's sleepy, and Bob's Your Uncle. I brushed him for ages and he was so fluffy and clean.

The visitors heeded the 'ignore the dog' instructions for the first five minutes, and he was a big hit.
