Alan has lost the top spot as the heaviest. Unsurprisingly Duke is back in first place having put on no less than 250g in one day. Everyone added at least 140g. I can also report that an impressive 220g has moved Aristotle out of last place and taken him to within 50g of Dora. In fact it now means that Duke has almost caught up with the lightest from my litter, so well done Duke.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think I shall be able to leave the puppies with their collars on when we aren\u2019t around. They are as bad as Megan and me for getting hold of each other by the collar. One or two of them have asked to swap because they prefer a different colour to the one they\u2019ve been given, but given that there doesn\u2019t seem to be a combination that would make them all happy they have been told that they have to stick to what they have. Their grey soft toy may need to go to soft toy hospital for an emergency operation on his ear. It is almost at the point of being severed. It reminds me of the many times that my Miffy toy had to have her ears sewn back on before I destroyed her completely.<\/p>\n
We have concluded that my problem is somewhere around my shoulder. It doesn\u2019t seem to hurt all the time, but when it does it is very painful. Although speaking as a wimp you have to realise I consider any pain to be too much. My Mistress has agreed to ring the vet for an appointment tomorrow and I\u2019ve promised not to be too melodramatic in the meantime.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s video is here<\/a> \u2013 see how many you can spot according to the collar colour scheme I described earlier.
