tiny tess
This little lady – Tess – was recently due her maintenance groom again. Tess lives in Appley Bridge, Wigan, Greater Manchester with her housemate, and mum and dad.
Wait for it …. Tess is 21 years old. That’s right – 21 !
Tess is a tiny, little, light as a feather, older lady ! She is a Persian Cross and as such has a thick coat, which she is unable to keep on top of herself. In fact, Tess no longers grooms even her front legs, nor face.
At today’s session, Tess’ coat was really ready for a good work through. There were areas that needed to be clipped away, and the rest of her coat benefitted from a brush out.
Tess is now used to the sessions and although she evidently doesn’t like the proceedings, today Tess managed to remain much calmer and less fidgety than usual. No mean feat for a 21 year old, so – Well done, Tess !
Straight after the session, Tess sauntered off to her filling station and topped up. Then, what did she do ? She sat down and had the first wash she’d had in ages !! Fantastic – obviously feeling pretty good about herself !
If you pop over to our facebook page you can see a short video clip of Tess, which was shot in the summer, just after her last grooming session.
We’ll see you again in a few weeks time, Tess. Please try and keep up the grooming, chick !
