Gonçalo, our cadaver dog, has just had a week’s break at the other end of the Algarve, to celebrate his 1st birthday. More on that will follow soon.
However, as he loves exploring the scrubland and running through the long grass in the campo (meadow, field, countryside) his underbelly hairs get extremely knotted, so yesterday he went off for a wash and a trim, to get rid of burrs and suchlike.
Here he is after his wash, looking like a drowned rat.
His ‘salon’ is Top Dogs in Lagos, and here he is with the proprietor, Rebecca.
And this is Gonçalo, after a towel dry and a trim to sort out his problem fur-spots. Doesn’t he scrub up well?
My wife was not best pleased with me, because very soon after he returned from being groomed, I took him out for yet another tour around the campo. After all, he is an apprentice in training. But Gonçalo, the trainee cadaver dog, alerted on our way back home.
At this moment in time, I believe he has just found his first cadaver (not human). The cadaver experiment is on! Come back soon for an update!
