Hello Nigel,

So nice of you to write and to include photos. I also celibrate Boxing Day after explaining the significance to my chumbs, by firing up the trap and slinging a few clays.

It would appear that the little fellow on the right is a Parson Russel terrier with a rough coat. I have two, mother and daughter, both smooth coats, and they love to hunt. I can only put rugs on them for winter social activities, not while we're in the woods. They will pursue down into borrows and the rugs can get caught.

Best wishes for the new year, and do say "Hello" to the Queen for me if you run into her.

Webb
