Autumn - a final burst of colours, before everything goes to rest during the winter months. But it is not only the leaves that turn red and golden, the morning skies in Autumn can be quite outstanding!

Before I became involved with 'the crew' - or more precisely with 'Mr F - I never paid much attention to the weather except for when we were snowed in. Now however its quite different. It has been a very cold night, unusually cold for this time of the year and I am glad that I managed to get 'Mr F' a decent 2nd hand rug and liner. It arrived just in time. The others were already equipped but 'Mr F's old rug has become too tight as his condition has improved over the past months and he is no longer as skinny.
It has been raining heavily on and off since Sunday and 'the crew' are quite fed up with it.
The images below were taken from my studio window.
'Mr F', 'Luke' (lying down) and 'Madame' sheltering behind the wall from the strong winds and rain.
A small rug study for me: standing up is 'Luke' (looking rather handsome) in an Amigo rug and 'Madame' in a Rambo Duo rug - same type as 'Mr F' (still lying down) is wearing now.
I am still not decided with which type of rug to settle for 'Mr F'. Even his 'new' 6'6" rug is just a tad too tight for 'Mr F', particularly when used with a liner. Although my guess is that the Amigo rug will be too wide at the front, the Rambo rugs are cut a bit more narrow. But I don't like how they seem to not allow for free movement of the shoulders. I quite like the idea of a side dart such as the Rambo 'Optimo' range. Perhaps a 6'6" rug of that range will fit better as they are slightly over-sized, anyway. But it is really the wrong time of the year to hope for a good 2nd hand bargain because everyone is now hunting for rugs.
This rug will do for now, winter is upon us in not too short a time!
