BLOOD DONORS

Don't ever, ever, try to put me in that pet carrier again.

Okay, Fred. (G clasping hand to wrist to quench flow of blood)

Never, never, never. Do you hear me?

Yes Fred, never, never.

Phone call: "Hello, vet visit went okay apart from getting Fred into the basket. Seems he has to go back again on Thursday to have his teeth de-scaled."

My turn then.

Gauntlets.... does anyone have some gauntlets?

Freddie has been given a slice of leftover Chateaubriand, cooked to his requirements, ie: barely cooked at all; but still he has gone back out into the garden, under a conifer, in the rain. I fear we are to suffer greatly for today's annual booster injection visit.

Pray for me on Thursday!
