That's a natural photo of Conker ... no editing !

Just ordinary combing and brushing of his coat...
He loves being groomed so much that he gets quite jealous if I try to brush a mat, or my own hair ...
He rolls on the carpet, hoping I'll brush his coat ..Lol.

Ah TT sorry meant he lol:) just looks so perfect and he just is a poser loving his picture taken and sooo handsome!

Happy Birthday Conker !

Not a problem, Debbie... Conker is so pretty, lots of people ask if "he" is a "she" .... Lol.

Hi Delonix ...
Thanks. Today Conker has been helping me with shopping at the garden centre. He is very knowledgeable on buying plants. Lol. Yes, I'm lucky that he continues to look well.

I very much hope Puccini can get the right medication to give him better health. The older our pets become, the more fond we are of them ...
Fingers crossed for Puccini ... a very special little dog. :o)

Hi Terra Another great photo. Conker looks so contented and very intelligent. Thankyou Tony

Hi TT, I didn't realise it was Conker's 8th birthday this week! Tell him I'm sorry for not having wished him Happy Birthday earlier. He looks sooo handsome sitting there amongst the plants in your lovely border - is he a "Border Collie" now??? (Sorry, couldn't resist it!) Anyway wish him many happy returns of the day - for many a year to come! :-)) Tell him that as he is so gorgeous I couldn't help but add his photo to my Favs!

Thank you Stroller, Aleyna, Delonix and Balcony ...

The heathers are flowering well this year.
