The joys of a long-haired dog!

Merlin was looking decidedly scruffy - he was moulting tufts of hair - and I couldn't find his proper brush. But today I found it, it was a fine dry day, so he got a proper grooming! You can see the heap of hair that came off him today (there was a similar amount that came off the carpet over the past week or so). He looks much better now - and probably feels it too.
