Which hair was cut?

"Another theory about hair, not from my mother, but from the best friend. A woman who cuts her hair drastically is set to make some decisions."

We have given up on Kelly being groomed by us in any meaningful way. We seemed to have been reduced to cutting out matted clumps, something which neither us nor her enjoyed. And how can you deal with any animal that grows a prodigious amount of protruding hair from between their toes? We were out of our depth.

So armed with some discretionary funding and fresh from the success of shearing the ruminants we trucked Kelly off to "Bubbles" in Margate. They said "what would you like us to do with Kelly today?" and we replied "please take this walking carpet and turn her into a dog!"

Mission accomplished!

Dad they cut all my hair off! I know sweetie, I know...

Speaking (er, writing) of immaculately groomed youngsters, we are in the middle of a three weekend hosting splurge and have been joined by Jackson and Alex on their worldwide tour of the Huon Valley. Nice to see you kids again - come back real soon.
