I took Brinkley to the vet this week. He had to have blood taken so that they could check his thyroid levels again. He has hypothyroidism which resulted in low energy and some weight gain for the poor guy. I'm happy to report that his thyroid levels are fine and he has lost 5kg! He is now pretty much at his ideal weight at 41kg (~90lbs).
I also purchased the FURminator last weekend and I have been having a great time getting rid of all of Brinkley's loose hair! (I know, I really need to get a life.) I was a bit skeptical about the Furminator, rarely do products work as well in real life as they claim to in the demo, but the Furminator has been worth every penny, its amazing! I highly recommend it.
A few other things that I have discovered about Brinkley over the past few weeks:
- He's scared of Snowmen. We saw one on our walk a few weeks ago and we had to turn around because he wouldn't walk past it. Then some kids built a snowman across from my house and he spent a full night barking at it while I was trying to sleep. I tried closing the blinds, but then he ate them.
- He loves raw potatos. He stole one the other day while I was cooking and apparently he's found a new favourite food. A bit weird. But a lot cheaper than TV remotes (the count is up to 12) and rawhides so I'm all for it!

Patches is also scared of snowmen, but not to that extent! I find he calms down if we walk up, I touch it and then he pees on it.
He's just like Arther (Stuart Mclean stories).
Brinkley stories are great, we need pictures of his new svelt look!
