Biggles our Border Terrier was getting scruffier by the day and some of you may recall this earlier blog entry when he looked like Chewbacca’s Love Child so this afternoon we got the horse clippers and an old beard trimmer out and decided to give him a long overdue haircut.

His treat for being patient was his favourite – the toffee from a tin of Quality Street.

1. Oooh, is that for me?

2. If I creep closer do you think they will notice?

3. Stare at it for long enough and it will unwrap itself

4. Stop ****ing around and let me have my sweet!

These two are our Border Terriers, Biggles and Buster. Believe it or not Biggles is a pure breed but due to his long coat he looks more like Chewbacca’s love child! They are a constant source of amusement (and photographs) and contrary to what some might think they are the best of friends although they are typical terriers – highly intelligent, even tempered but somewhat stubborn and they generally get along well with other dogs; however, if they dislike another, they do not hesitate to start a fight even with dogs four times their size.
