Black-dog check

Did I mention the obligatory black dog? No? Probably because I don’t like dogs, am allergic to dogs, and particularly don’t like dogs that might bite me. Anyway, we all have to have a damned dog and every so often the vet comes to check up on it. My dog has decreased in size from 18 to 16 which apparently means I am no longer in imminent danger of death. Weight stable at 6st 13, which means I have decreased in size from 8 to 4.
