Third Life

Those of you who read my blog on a regular basis will remember Cousin Hamill who came to play with me while staying next door at Eric and Elsie and landed up getting a Second Life when he got a new home with Cath's Pack.

Anyway, She and Cath made plans to go out for lunch and Cath brought Hamill over to play for the duration. He was left in charge of supervising us and it was just as well. Now, although I am SO not a cuddle dog, it doesn't mean I have to like it when whoever is here playing with me gets cuddles from Them. There was Hamill being all cute and adorable and asking for attention. So He had Hamill on His lap and Hamill was having a great time! Until He found a Bump...

While stroking Hamill's head, He found a Bump on Hamill's brow. It was grey and big. So He was duly concerned and showed it to Eric and Elsie's Pack Leader. Although chatting over the fence, there was no sitting on the fence with this one - diagnosis - TICK!

Eric and Elsie's Pack Leader raced off to the vet with young Hamill, the tick was duly extracted and the verdict: he would have died within a day He hadn't found the tick right there and then!!

So Hamill, without even logging on, got a Third Life! And all was good in the world again.
