Barney fine after surgery
Just to let you know that Barney is back home after his surgery and everything went very well. (Not sure he would agree with that assessment.) I've passed a very nerve-wracking day watching the clock (and dropping my egg in the parent's novelty race at school Sports Day). He is very dopey and a bit wobbly but did manage to look pleased to see me and do an enormous No. 2 on the lawn within a minute of getting home. The vet suggested he had some bland food for a couple of days so I'm poaching a lovely whole chicken for him, feels like the least I could do. He has been treated to a nice clean blanket and is currently fast asleep in the kitchen with Betty watching over him. She has missed him terribly and has spent the say moping in her basket. Now she has him back she's given him the once over, cleaned his eyes and ears, and is now lying by his side keeping a close watch on him. More to follow....
