Again the months are whizzing by. I can’t believe we’re into August already. I must report on Her Ladyship’s latest success as I feel it deserves marking. She was at Doggy Weightwatchers again on Monday and has finally got below 40kg. She weighed in at 39.6kg making a massive weight loss of just under 23kg. She’s even made the front page of one of our local papers and is now quite the celebrity. Let’s hope it doesn’t go to her head too much.

To be honest, her weight loss this month was nothing short of miraculous as she raided the fridge last week. I came home from work to find the contents of the fridge strewn out over the kitchen floor and Holly paw deep in a variety of goodies with a very guilty look on her face. Needless to say, the pursuing row and ticking off had little effect on madam muck and she just ended up looking very pleased with herself.

However, the strange thing was the evidence at the scene of the crime didn’t really add up. The inside of the fridge was soaking and a bottle of sparkling water in the inside door was split. On further investigation, it dawned on me that I think it was actually my fault all along. The evening before, I’d had friends round and I’d put a bottle of sparking water in the freezer to chill and stupidly forgot to take it out. The next day, I took it out, completely frozen and put it in the fridge to defrost while I was at work. However, I think what must have happened was when it melted the top blew off and the bottle split, hence the fridge door flying open. So although it wasn’t actually Holly’s fault, she certainly took full advantage of the situation!

I did feel very guilty at falsely accusing Her Ladyship, but in my defence she was the prime suspect at the scene of the crime, with a history of misdemeanours to her name and looking very guilty, so you can understand the miscarriage of justice on this occasion!
