pretty maisie

This pretty lady came from a rescue centre to live with her new mum in Stretford, Manchester about 18 months ago.

We don’t know too much about Maisie’s past life, but she is a very gentle, nervous girl.  She normally makes herself scarce when visitors arrive but it was pleasing that we were able to meet and greet her whilst she lay on her bed, and she lifted her chin for a tickle.

We think that Maisie is around 14 years old.  She has a short coat, but doesn’t groom herself.  We think she may well have some arthritis in her joints these days.

Maisie lay patiently on the grooming table whilst we set about the session.  She doesn’t like being brushed in general, and had developed some clumps / tufts particularly around the lower back/flank areas.  Maisie was very vocal throughout most of the session and told us in no uncertain terms what she thought about the proceedings.  Here’s the hair that came away.

After the session, mum Jean said :

“Thanks Sandra for your excellent work with my foul mouthed Maisie !  I hope you remember those ancient Scottish words.  She is looking lovely and is very proud of her new look.”

Excellent !  Well done Maisie, you did really well chick ….
