Harry injured!
I had to rush Harry to the vet tonight, after Harry and Anton had a fight…. about food, what else? I was very near by and had to pull Anton’s mouth open as he had Harry’s head in it. It really brought it home to me how HUGE Anton is in comparison to Harry. I immediately penned Anton and gave Harry a thorough ‘inspection’. He had an inch long head wound, but didn’t seem to be hurt anywhere else. Luckily my niece is still here, so we bundled the poor little chap into the car and went down to the surgery.
As you would expect, Harry was VERY brave. The wound was cleaned, and glued together and he was given a long acting antibiotic and painkillers, and should be fine. Anton and Otto will be having their ’special ops’ next week…… as this is the fourth fight that Anton and Harry have had recently and it really can’t go on. Harry (he weighed in at 5.2kg) cannot possibly keep Anton (at 10kg) under control. Otto will be done at the same time, as he is always ‘very excited’, and this op should help that behaviour! I had hoped to be able to put the ops off for a bit, as I am still paying for my amazing US trip….. oh well….

OH NO !! Harry I can see why you want to send the boy away !! I hope that the boys “ops” will calm their meanies and the gang can live together in harmony again !! Prayers and Hugs being sent across the ocean for a speedy recovery !!
Addie will be thinking about her love Otto next week !!

Poor Harry! Why don’t you come and spend some time with Blixa and April while the boys get the testosterone out of their systems. (I understand it can take about a month or so after the surgery.)

Poor lil Harry! I’m glad he is going to be okay! We’ll be thinking about Anton & Otto next week with their operations! We’ll also pray that this helps solve the problem!

Poor Harry. I’m glad you weren’t hurt any more seriously. Glad the doc could glue you together again. Yes, the boys need the “ops”, for sure. That will calm them down considerably.
Take care.

Poor Harry. I noted that the fight was over food. Perhaps you need to feed them in separate rooms. Jutta, I hope it all works out! I know you will do your best. Love, Mary

Oh Harry! Perhaps he insulted Anton’s favorite football team a little bit too much
Dr. PIE prescribes 2 extra doses of cheese per day for Harry!!

My poor friend Harry. I am sooooo sorry you got hurt. Maybe mom can give you an extra piece of cheese to help with the pain. I will be thinking about you tonight and hope you dont have a headache in the morning.

Sorry to hear this. Do you think without Heather the lads are trying to compete for top dog?
My girls have been having a few problems lately, Lois is trying to topple Chase, to start with Chase wasn’t bothered but after a more serious ruckus last week I flattened Lois on the floor till she submitted to me, not had any problems since.
I let Lois into bed with Chase and I a couple of weeks back when I wasn’t well and was lying in bed watching telly, Kim thinks that is where things went wrong, I didn’t even think something as simple as that would upset things so much.
Chase is back to asserting her authority without being nasty about it and Lois is back to being her side kick. Lois is lucky that Chase doesn’t take after Molly her dam, she is like a Tazmanian She Devil when anyone tried to oust her from top dog status in the past.
Poor Rhuari is bewildered by all the goings on and is happy to be mothered by both girls,he’s not daft is he???
I hope Harry gets over his fight and the youngsters ops go to plan and the testosterone settles down quickly.
