We've found a lady who makes house calls! Fairly locally. So, she's coming over a week tomorrow (Wednesday.)
Lex won't like it, but she'll feel much more comfortable as spring and summer come on - should spring and summer ever come on!

;D Outside the box!!  They all look great, Lisa. I showed Duncan's picture to Joe ... I'll have to ask someone to post Lexie's before and after pictures as I'm still struggling with PhotoB. Does anyone know of an alternative free service? |

 Just re-read the instructions I sent to Lex's hairdresser for how to get HERE from THERE! Thought it might make you chuckle! We're not running a book on whether she gets here! There's only one road on Shetland... Directions from Brae: (should take you about 15 - 20 mins.)
1. At the Co-op head towards Hillswick past the turning to Busta House
2. Keep on the main road
3. Down a steep hill when you get to Urafirth
4. When you see the ‘Toilets’ sign on your right (I know, I know!) turn right at the sign.
5. Over a sheep grid, quarry on your left.
6. Sharp left just after the quarry.
7. Follow the lane all the way up to the top.
8. You’ll come to a 5-barred gate.
9. We’re the other side of that – little white cottage with blue trim.

I think I would be able to find your home Bara. Great directions. even though it is only one road, I will say it will take her 1 hour to get to you.  |

;D
"Turn right at the Toilets" ... Surprised I don't get more visitors with their legs crossed! Well, she did say are there any signs ....
You're correct, Terrie, I'll let you know if she makes it!

Ha ha, Lisa! I missed out the bit about 'ignore all the burned out vehicles'! My neighbours! They're what Deb would call 'Hill McWilliams'! My bit is pretty and clean and no sheep - sometimes.... except when they get in.  |

So, has Lexie gotten her haircut yet? Stella is going very soon. She can't see much, and hears even less, it seems - oh wait, that's just old age.
*sigh*

Could never shave Winter, he was a sable and all his color would have been gone. OK and it takes forever for the outer coat to grow back on a GSD.
So did you do it? How does Lexie like it?

No, it's Wednesday when she turns right at the Toilets!  She's bringing her son, who loves German Shepherds. Tchh. Now I have to buy biscuits. |
