Every once in awhile I entertain the thought of having a mobile dog groomer show up at the house and do all 8 dogs for me in one go - that would be the ultimate in luxury for me.

But unfortunately the market for Bramleys is absolutely zilch at the moment - we must be the only one out there making apple cakes and pies.<br /><br />Thank you for your lovely comment - it's nice to know there is someone out there somewhere reading it all! And I have to say the boys in my family are far more interested in your blog than in mine - I'm a bit fluffy for them! And there has been yet another dog wash this morning - white Collie turned greenish brown and smelling strongly of pig was too much even for the Ploughboy!<br /><br />Pomona xPomonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399181139470676975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-84346929634291863442009-09-23T02:00:54.783-07:002009-09-23T02:00:54.783-07:00Thanks Pomona - saw your blog post the other day w...Thanks Pomona - saw your blog post the other day with the epic dogwashing session. they're so cute - and amenable! Our dogs are wild and forever trying to jump out of the tub or sniffing around when you're trying to trim their ears. The joys of the working spaniel eh?<br /><br />That's the first robin's pin cushion I've ever seen. There have been a lot of galls on plants this year. My husband said this is the first year he's ever found a hornet's nest - 2 in fact. Perhaps a good year for insects all around? Maybe good pollination too? How's your apple crop?Jennifer Monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003650742439806128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884610467022224157.post-17963303195329021232009-09-21T16:05:09.532-07:002009-09-21T16:05:09.532-07:00Good luck with the first day of the shoot.
