Saturday turned out to be very similar to Friday.
The weather is very warm, but the skies are frequently overcast, and there is an annoying wind that deters me from gardening. Mind you, it is so dry out there, that we are doing little more than watering at present.
So, my preference is to stay indoors at the moment, and I needed something to justify this.
With the clippers still unboxed, from yesterday's grooming session, it was now Hobson's turn. The Grooming School have reported that he can be an utter pain to clip, but I found him to be quite well behaved.
By lunchtime I had trimmed his coat back with a #5F blade and he was looking rather smart with a neat topknot and ears. I should mention that he now looked quite tidy, provided that you didn't look at his feet.
After lunch I attempted to tidy up his feet, and that was the point when his cooperative nature dissipated. He obviously doesn't like the sensation of the clippers on his toes.
I also found that my Heiniger mini clipper just wouldn't work on the hair around his toes. It may be that the blade needs sharpening, so, for the moment, it looks like I will have to persevere with a full sized clipper and blade ... he isn't going to like that at all!
