Merlin is both stupid and vicious, this is a bad combination when it comes to grooming. She won't sit/lie still and insists on pacing when I comb/brush her. She insists on licking the hair on her chest and it usually ends up like dreadlocks.
Even if she is in the mood every brush movement has to go over the top of her head (??) and if I don't do as she wishes she moves her skull into position so that she gets what she wants. But one day I am going to stick the brush in her eye - for which I will be severely punished.
She is all black on the top, with a black face - unlike her brother and she is, to me, pretty. She looks like a Highland Cow. I don't have any decent photos of her.
They are both glaring at me as I type.
