And it doesn't matter how many Dreamies are forced through the bars it doesn't lessen the blow.
Although today it was for a check up and yearly injections to make sure I don't get ill but there was some extra special news.
I've put on 400 grams in a year, that'll be because I can actually eat my dinner now without River pushing me out of the way for a taster.
AND my gums are exactly where they should be again. They were a little bit red one side last year but I guess all the special food and attempts at brushing my teeth have paid off.
