Kramer gets fat

I've returned from China - and as MM and major carer of Kramer while I was away, had also visited China so that we could return together so Kramer stayed in style with his carer at Manly.

We arrived in Brisbane around 9.30 am - very weary after 28 hours without much sleep (who can sleep well on an airplane unless they are travelling at the pointy end of the plan?) - and called in to collect Kramer early in the afternoon.

There he was lying on his back, on the couch with his carer who was gently rubbing his tummy, as they both watched a replay of the Wimbledon tennis singles finals from the night before. His tummy was bulging! Fat as........

He was so well cared for and spoiled he took a few minutes to register that we - his owners and carers for most of his life - had arrived. I think he had to consider his options at this point. Slowly he acknowledged us, and I picked up this huge "conjob" of a dog. He had apparently turned his nose up at his usual food, so rice was added, and then in the end, he'd conned the carers enough that he seemed to be sharing whatever they ate!!!!

And he had put on weight. His tummy was bulging!

He was too well cared for!!! Spoiled rotten. He even slept with the carers. On their bed!!!!

What a life Kramer has had.

Now, he's hardly neglected at home. While I have been away in China, he's slept all night in the main bedroom with MM!!!!!
