While the Bit of Fluff indoors sits shaking under her Fiddlesticks, it is my fatherly duty to post an update on my young son, Austin.

He went to see Mr Vet today for a fur cut (I'm using this term for Bosley's benefit) and was expected home this evening. However, he's been kept in overnight due to some bleeding from his blood vessels.

His mum has been to see him and Hatty is now with him to keep him company during the night. He's eaten some fresh cut parsley and we don't think there is anything to worry about but some vibes would be appreciated - if not for him, for his poor worried mum. I know from my own experience when I was ill that sometimes it's the humans who suffer more than we do.

Hopefully Austin and Hatty will be back on their journals again tomorrow with an update.

(Cedric - Is this what happened to Dandybun?)
