I opened my mouth too soon
Z's just deposited a lovely great mass on the red and white rug in the living room for me!
He's got what I refer to as a 'downy coat'- all fluffy undercoat with few overcoat hairs, have now decided to groom him daily. he could do with the 'mummy time' anyway
Still, will have to steel my stomach yet again I don't doubt it!
