Imagine the smell from this lot.

Yeah, but your not taking into account the fact that they have a weekly bath night and the use of " Eau de chaarlee".

You are probably right their coats are in magnificent condition.

When the pelts were worth a few bob the carcases were hung up in the stable and ole Bob used to brush the pelt with a curry comb to brush out the mud and stuff and to fluff the fur so as to get a better price.  one time after the combing ole Bob started to itch and scratch.  A few unwanted friends had decided to jump ship and thought that ole Bob might be a better host.  The thing being that ole Bob hadn't been sober for at least 25 years and after the first taste of blood/ alcohol from ole Bob they were probably completely stoned.  He was a character.  He used to go out boozing with a mate of his because Bob had, had his driving licence taken away.  one night he came back and was dropped off out in the yard.  He stumbled round in the dark yard and up the dung lump ramp where he fell over.  The dung lump bed was nice and warm and soft and made a nice bed.  During the night it came on to rain.  In the morning when he woke up he staggered into the stable covered from head to foot in straw and residue.  He was so bad that the only course of action was to hose him down, strip him off to underpants ? and then in to the bath.  Probably the first bath in some time.  Days of  the past and characters.

I had a foreman once who liked a drink. One night he was walking past Burton's window and fancied a new suit. He managed to smash a hole in the glass, crawled through, oozing blood, put a new jacket on and fell asleep. The cops had to wake him up. A weekend in jail and he was back at work Monday morning. I remember him breaking the ice on a barrel of water and ducking his head right in. Best way to sober up he reckoned on a Monday morning.
