Alfie -trimmed !! by beryl

Alfie -trimmed !!

Well !! after much struggle and 2goes I manage to somewhat give Alfie a trim !! He was not at all obliging & struggled like anything ( he does NOT like to be trimmed !! ) I shall be tittivating him further as the days go by !! He did not want his photo taken his ears are back as if to say *I am not amused !! *
He Looks so good! I love these rough haired dogs!

You've done a very good job on him Beryl! His coat looks great. I love his stance there and his ears! He is adorable :)

If he had fur instead of hair you wouldn't have to trim him, but he would then moult on your fine carpet. Did Gary not help?

Nice shot Beryl, he looks good!

I think he looks very smart indeed and you've done a good job. Digs are very clever at making their feelings(photo) known silently!! (When Jinks protests too much I just put the muzzle on him. He has got better as he's got older (he's 10 now)

Oh well done Alfie! He looks great.

@maggiemae Thank you Maggiemae
@sturnus Thank you Carol -a bit more work on his legs & feet (which he hates having done ) When there's 4 legs they've got to match !!!!!
@gamelee I know,I know !! but I have wire haired dogs for this reason & I love the terrier plucky character in spite of the fact they are determined & quite strong willed !! Yes I had Gary holding him the 1st go & to chase after him when Alf escaped !
@valanne Thank you
@quietpurplehaze Thank you Hazel , I'ts not a muzzle Alfie needs but balls & chains to keep his legs still to trim them !!He hops about like a cat on a hot tin roof !!

He looks pretty sharp to me, but we have two little ones who hate a bath, what a chore.
May 18th, 2013  
Oh doesn't he look smart?

@digitalrn Thank you Rick , thank goodness I have not got double trouble --one's enough !! Alfie's not too bad in the bath except when I try to wash his face especially his whiskers !!
@pwt Thank you Philip,He does look quite dapper when trimmed !!
@quietpurplehaze Alfie is pretty harmless but is hell-brnt on escaping A right Hoodini !!

@dandolo Thank you , I must also be like a terrier --once I've got my teeth into something I don't let go !! It was a battle of wills throughout I'm afraid !!
