Send up a few Hail Mary's ...

I love every chubby, curly, furry bit of Alf. I don't want him to be put on a diet but equally he has a heart problem so being seriously overweight is a problem.

My problem has always been that I don't agree that he is seriously overweight. The main vet in the practice thinks he should be no more than 5.5 or 6 kilos but I don't think she is taking into account his heritage. The vet who has had NFC "patients" before says he's fine. So this was somewhere in between. That'll do me.

They will never say Harvey is fat. He's like a flipping pencil with the wood shaved off. Taller and much longer in the body than Alf but weighing in at around the same. If they tell me he's fat I shall have to ask "where??!" lol.
