Well, on the plus side the chill weather keeps the dogs in full coat

and that’s a good thing?  Sam......stripping coat....growling...I hate you mum...ggggrerrr.

Another plus - the cold weather will keep people indoors. Here in Victoria, it is glorious spring and too many people are walking around outside and it can be difficult to maintain appropriate distance.

Gus and I go for two walks a day as usual, but we have given up on our off leash romps. I don’t want him running up to other dogs or their people. Long walk in the morning when the streets and parks seem to be emptier.

He is getting pretty shaggy - I have never stripped him myself! I did clip the hair around his eyes so that we could make eye contact.

I live alone (missing my kids and grandchildren terribly though we see each other online) so I am super glad to have Gus for company - he could be just a bit cuddlier though!!

Islander -- my two are getting really shaggy too...Angus in particular...I could strip him easily if he would put up with it...but he gets really snappy when I try to pull a little out...it is so ready it is really easy if it were not for the threat to my fingers...

I think I will end this year with two yaks.
