Mr S

Remembering Fred Dibnah, born this day in 1938.

Mum & Daughter chat. The return from Uni for Easter, with her boyfriend Craig. Melissa - Hi Mummmmm (Arms wide open for the hug) Me - I’m so glad you’re home, I’ve missed you so much Melissa - I don’t have any work experience placements to go to whilst I’m home (smiley face) Me - That’s the first time in 3 years you don’t have to work during your time at home. The dogs look good don’t they? (smug face) Melissa - I’ll check them over. About the worming treatment … I’m going to get poo samples from each of them, send them off for an “egg count” and decide whether there’s a need to give them the worm medication. That’s so excitinggg isn’t it? Me - Collecting poo samples is exciting? Melissa - Oh yesssss. I can’t wait Mum and then looking at the results will be even better Me - Could you have decided on this approach BEFORE asking me to get the “proper meds from the Vets, instead of that crap you buy off Amazon” to treat worms that we might not be treating? I could have bought a small car with what the Vets charged me 🙄😭 Melissa - 👀 Melissa - I did my first dog spay surgery last week. The dog was 27kg and I had both my hands inside the abdomen, feeling for the ovaries, then the uterus. I had to move intestines around and the bladder. I couldn’t see anything because the incision is only big enough for my hands. The ovaries have a ligament, it’s like a guitar string, I had to snap that just with my fingers, inside the dog. The ligament was really tough. I got everything out 😊 Me - You’ve come a long way from anal gland flushing 😆. I still remember the song about the brain you showed me. You’re so clever. Craig - She’s not clever. A group of us were meeting in London for cocktails. Melissa & Molly went to one place, Melissa told me another location, she told someone else a different location. We were all at the same cocktail bar, but at 3 different locations. It took me 45 minutes to get to where she was. Melissa -(Sniggers) Me - (Sniggers) Craig - (No sniggering) End of chat.
