@want2bhealthier I love Terry p so it's definitely the other way round 😁 Think it was Gaspode the dog?

[Sally Urwin @PintSizedFarmer]

Thanks for all the Mavis love.

She (and her smell) are currently belly up in the boot room in front of the radiator.

I'm drawing in the lounge with many, MANY scented candles.

@LornaManie @collinstimbela_ Yes I can definitely recognise it!

[Sally Urwin @PintSizedFarmer]

@horwichguy Her breeder lived in Wales - it's pronounced Mavis with a short "a" like apple - apparently that's the Welsh pronunciation

@LornaManie @collinstimbela_ Thank you but this isn't aimed at my husband

[Sally Urwin @PintSizedFarmer]

@Gilariwrites Too right!

In today’s highbrow farm news, Mavis the farm collie has rolled in pig slurry and is now operating as a mobile biohazard.

The smell is so appalling it makes your eyes water. I took her out to air off. She rolled in sheep poo.

We met a couple of walkers and heard a very posh “Oh, I say!” as Mavis thundered past.

We went to look for wildlife. Everything downwind knew we were coming before we even stepped in the woods. Mavis then found some fox poo.

She's had a full hosepipe bath and still smells like a health and safety violation. The dreaded Fairy Liquid may be the only way forward.

@gertieok Ahhh now I see the grubbiness! 😁

@DrMaryCallan @JHCPAL Omg that sounds horrific

[Sally Urwin @PintSizedFarmer]

@TheTyncker @1feralkat Ummmm no they didn't?

[Sally Urwin @PintSizedFarmer]

@BradfemlyWalsh Too right. Its absolute art but definitely gave me some flashbacks
