Mrs Blog and I went for a swim today and got back at about 5.10 p.m. The only significance of this is that it was ten minutes after Dog-Blog is usually fed and Dog-Blog is a creature of habit with an uncannily accurate stomach-clock.
Mrs Blog duly filled her metal bowl with the required amount of food; dog-Blog ate only two thirds of it. As Dog Blog has not been well of late both Mrs Blog and I were very concerned that this might indicate her imminent departure from this mortal coil. Especially as she would normally eat all her tea in a mere three seconds and still be looking for more.
We gave her an extra dose of her painkiller to see if that would help - all wrapped up in a handful of smoked salmon. She struggled bravely and swallowed it. But still she lay by her bowl looking none too well.
"This is the beginning of the end" I thought but kept it to myself.
......."Muffin where did you get all that food from?" said Son-Blog.
"What!?" I said.
"I fed her half an hour ago." replied Son-Blog.
Now we know what is wrong with Dog-Blog...
....the starvation diet starts tomorrow!!

You had us quite worried for a moment there. Long may Dog-Blog continue to shed on everything!
