when Tills' coat grows back between clips she looks like the love child of Tina Turner and a grizzly bear
so where does Chesney Hawkes come into it
If her toupée gets really long I can put it in a centre parting
The photos don't show it that well but although Tills' coat doesn't grow back quite as long as Lola's it's completely dead, fuzzy, cotton-wool textured and a dull ginger colour whereas when she's clipped she's a lovely rich shiny brown.
Ok here she is before... Tina's people called and said she wants her wig back
and it makes her look fat which I HATE cos she's really not!
And after... sleek, shiny and purty... squinty eyes and hassling of ginger dogs notwithstanding
Actually you can see that last one better if you enlarge it, it shows her nice belly feathering and the shine it gives her

I give strict instructions i.e. pain of death that they are not to touch her ears, chest feathering, belly feathering, leg feathering or tail. The new groomer we've found is a godsend, she was a recommendation from Elisa and she is fantastic, she even puts a little flower on Tills' lead when she's finished
