Well, I have decided not to bring Archie.
He got into a scuffle in the woods this afternoon,
so he is now decidedly edgy. Will I still get the benefit of the grooming course without having my dog with me? I am bringing my friends daughter with her blue roan, but I really wanted to have a go myself, but it would be too stressful for me and Archie, I would be on edge all the time.
