Suzi: The new fragrance

Mick and I took Suzi to the groomer yesterday.
It was just for a shampoo; the dog, bless her, really stank.

Mick had attempted to shower her, but it proved such an ordeal (she was so determined to avoid it, she managed, for the first time, to leap into the bed with me) that we took her to Raymond Terrace's Pet Parlour again.

Raymond Terrace is, shall we say, a less salubrious part of the lower Hunter Valley.
It's often mentioned in local news broadcasts: "Police caught the alleged suspects in ...", "The burnt-out vehicle was found in ...", etc.

Still, you pass some pretty scenery on the way:



Plus, they do a good, cheap doggy wash and Suzi now smells like a rose, as interpreted through one of those motion-triggered room fresheners.
She laid down in the car for most of the way home, perhaps in post-traumatic stress, so I didn't get a good photo of her.

She looks much the same, to be honest, so here's one I prepared earlier; just imagine her smelling a lot better:
