NO DUCKS ALLOWED

Heddy has decided that there are NO Fine Feathered Friends allowed anywhere near our property. That is all well and good except for the fact that I now have to take her out to pee on a leash in the mornings and at night otherwise at 6 AM in the morning she hits the ground running to make a quick check of our property and see that we have not been invaded in her short absence.
OK I could even live with that AND the fact that she takes a swim to check and make sure that no one is hiding in the boat slip. BUT what is a problem is the fact that she does this while BARKING at  full voice to tell those Critters GET OUT OF MY YARD!
Well I can except this she is a Terrier and she is allowed an opinion. AND I really do not want the Ducks and Canada Geese in the Yard, they make a terrible mess, BUT at 6 AM or at 11 PM I do not want the neighbors to want to strangle a Little Brown Dog.
Guess it has something to do with the fact that I complain about the neighbors NEVER ENDING BARKING MOPS! (Shitzus)
But when it is afternoon. Well no one ever told Heddy she was not a water dog. She swims as well as our sons Lab. I have the wet soggy cloths to prove it. How come when ever a dog is wet they just have to come and jump into your lap. And we are talking MUDDY Salt Marsh Water. Doesn't ever get better than that.

GOTTA LOVE A BORDER TERRIER!

A Brand New Look

Heddy has finally lost most of her winter fluff.

We drove over to Columbia MD and met Sandy from Happy Hobbits Border Terriers. Sandy had been nice enough to offer to help me learn how to properly strip and groom Heddy.

So we got up early and made the almost 3 hour drive.

About half way there I realized that I forgot my camera so I do not have any Halfway done photos as I had planned but I sure learned a lot. Heddy handled the whole procedure much better than I expected.  She really only complained when we got to the really tender areas. And so may I present my beautiful Border Terrier Loch Cu Heddwyn in her summer underwear.
