I’M BACK PALS!! Got a little bandage that the vet said I could take off but I fink it adds to the slightly pathetic ‘feel sorry for me, I’ve had a little op’ vibe. Just had some scramblies, rice and butternut squash for me tea.

Barney’s mum here. He has been safely deposited at the vet. They’ve decided to do some tests on his lymph nodes as they are still slightly enlarged. Paws crossed all is well. We’re all a bit worried at Patamia Heights.

Mum is unimpressed she has to go back to work tomorrow. Apparently she’s interested in finding a role that pays her to watch telly, unwrap chocolates & eat them, do day drinking & subsist almost completely on small foods served in little bowls as these are now her main skills.

Barney update. He’s awake after his dental and had 4 teefs out. They think his lymph nodes are smaller than previous but still a little enlarged so we are going to have the samples they took while he was asleep sent to the lab. The vets don’t sound hugely concerned though.

So I just gave mum the fright of her life. I had sausage for tea (chopped up) but she could suddenly hear me retching. She went through and found me choking! My tongue was blue but she stayed calm and managed to get the sausage out what I had gulped down too quick.

Mum feels she should issue an official apology for the weather. It feels appropriate at this time to admit she knowingly bought a new BBQ & outdoor glasses, plates etc this weekend. At the time she was not aware of the knock on effects of her actions. She is deeply sorry.
