Rufus is here to stay for a week. He is an 8 month old Airedale and a whole lot of fun to have around. Our boys have met him before so the meet and greet went smoothly...even uncle Rexy settled in well with his presence. These photos are of quiet time in the shop after a good long romp and play.

Later today Ziggy, the Jack Russel Terrier, will be by for his #10 shave off. He does not get a bath due to skin problems so there'll be one more dulled blade for the sharpening box. He is a bit of a touchy boy about his legs and from time to time the muzzle comes into use. Otherwise it is a quick and easy job.
