Animal serenade

Welcome back. Hope you had an enjoyable Christmas.

Ours was going well until the dog became seriously constipated. I can’t blame it on the turkey because we didn’t give him any, but his discomfort over the past two days became increasingly obvious.

All attempts to examine his nether region were rebuffed so this morning I took him to the vet who recommended an enema under sedation.

A few minutes ago I got the call to go and pick him up. Let’s hope he’s suitably grateful.

The other excitement today was finding a tiny field mouse scurrying around the kitchen.

I managed to corner it and then entice it to take refuge in a glass tumbler where it stayed until we released it outside, a short walk from the house.

No animal was hurt and there was no need for a baseball bat.

Just sayin’.
