23rd February, 2011 Due deference

Little Mussels was gelded today and is fine. I always worry about these serious procedures. Tim Adams the vet, turned up with a very special veterinary student - his Mum, and worked in the pouring rain first with Mussels and then six lots of teeth. Pie, who has disappeared every time his teeth have been due to looked at, was in attendance today and Tim was able to get rid of a load of sharp points and some impacted bramble. Pie will be feeling a lot better for that. Despite the weather, Tim retained his sense of humour. I had told him that Theoden's full name is Theoden, King of Imzadi (poor horse!) and found that he had marked up his dental sheet at HRH Theoden!!
