a temporary attachment to the pack

[Browning 9mm]

well, this weekend YM ie young monster, and his young master are down for the weekend, and instructions were left that he had to go to the vet's to be weighed, and collect his flea / worming etc tablets.
in a senior moment I told Charlie I would walk him up, intending to give him some training on the way.

when will I learn 

I walked HB first, then put YM on a check chain and lead and headed out.
to put it simply, it was a battle of wills, his and mine. I think his won.
HEEL is not a command he yet understands, and even the application of the check chain, as per my QPD training, was not exactly 100% effective, more like a 50:50 success rate.

still, we arrived at the vets still in one piece, well he was I was feeling somewhat fragile.. and we got him on the scales.
in the last three months he has DOUBLED his weight, and is now just over 27.6 kgs.
and he is still skin and bone, heavens knows what he will fill out to when he has muscled up 

we made it back from the vets in one piece to be greeted with
"how was he grandad?"


"he doesn't pull when he's with me"


my back aches, YM now upgraded to Y*M is asleep by the front door, and I am consuming a purely medicinal scottish water for the pain

I may need a psychological exam, but I still love the great hairy lump, and of course I've also got HB.

definitely need sectioning
