Birthday Boyz.



It's Wilf and Digby's birthday today. They are now nine years old. Celebrations will include a lengthy doze in a shady spot ( it hit 80 degrees + yesterday), a game (or two) with a fluffy toy and something low protein , but exciting , from 'the font' for dinner - possibly roast salmon.

In readiness for the great day Wilf has been trimmed and groomed - as can clearly be seen in the official birthday photo .The shearing process is just beginning with an extremely reluctant Digby - rear paws were done yesterday before the session was cancelled amidst much vocal complaint. Little do they know it but bathtime also beckons. Tomorrows pictures will show two electric white sheepdogs.

Thank you for those of you who suggested we leave out the boyz fur for the birds. What a good idea. There is rather a lot of it so the finches and woodpeckers are going to be kept busy. Their nests will be very warm, soft, safe and luminously white.

  6. A Very Happy Birthday to the Boyz!!
    The years do fly by don't they? I have a hard time thinking of my "younger group" as about 8 years old now because I don't think "I've" gotten any older in that time!

  9. Happiest of Birthdays to the boyz! They certainly don't look nine years old. I hope they enjoy all the birthday festivities!

    It looks like they must have really silky, fine undercoats. I'm betting they will be two handsome fellows when the trimming and dreaded b-words are all done!
