He was so listless, Mr. Herriot. He seemed to have no energy. I thought he must be suffering from malnutrition. So i have been giving him some extras in between meals to build him up.
Oh, I did for a bit but he seemed to be so weak I had to relent. He does love cream cakes and chocolates so. I can't bear to refuse him.
And did you cut down on the sweet things as I told you?
Well, he has his little walks with me as you can see, but Hodgkin the gardener, has been down with lumbago lately, so there is no ring-throwing lately.
