Page 44 - A Hope Springs Christmas Tail

"Oh No," the Dogmother said. "I’ve

just read that Fast Ed broke his toe in
three places in a freak accident at the

Dog Park today. His leg is bandaged
after an emergency trip to the vet on

Christmas Day.

Dr Sophie had to scoff her

Christmas pudding really quick to
come to the clinic and treat him.

She’d come so quickly; she still
had a daub of brandy custard on

her chin and Ed had to
surreptitiously lick it off for her
under the guise of giving her a

kiss. He didn’t want her to be
embarrassed. Eddie also has one of those bucket things on his head and he’s

been given lots of pain killing drugs that have knocked him out somewhat. I’m
sorry everyone - but Eddie can’t come tomorrow, now." "Oh Darn,” said

Tucker. "He was going to be my secret weapon to win at soccer tomorrow."
