Could someone please explain why I have lost 6lbs (of fur) and smell of lavender?
‘A light trim, keep the shape and not too much off the top’ is what I asked for - not, ‘let’s get military on this.’
Now that I have been stripped of my sophisticated salt and pepper wire topcoat I am horrified to find that my undercoat is… well… ginger.
I’m telling myself it’s a fiery Celtic auburn but yesterday I was sniffing in a basket of oranges at the market and was disgusted to realise I blended in perfectly. (I was also disgusted that She didn’t know the difference between Valencia and Navel but really I should lower my expectations of her and just be happy when She gets my name right.)
There is, however, one fabulous positive of my new ginger status - I also blend seamlessly into the floorboards in the hallway….. Tonight I intend to lie there, camouflaged, and when She walks past I will roar wildly and leap up - scaring the (badly fitting) pants off her! … Her terrified screams and flailing limbs will make my gingerness almost worthwhile.
I do like to find a positive in every situation.
