But need to take a quick break first to update you on the relationship between the gherkin and james brown the pug.

The Gherkin LOVES The Pug.

At Christmas, the gherkin got a CareFlight bear... who he immediately grinned at and went to grab an ear - we are certain he thought it was the pug!

But now that the boy is onto solids, the relationship has grown even closer. JB has now realised that he gherkin is no longer just a source of semi-digested milk but is now a source of Real Food. Pureed peas, mashed banana, pureed pumpkin, cooked apple, pureed carrots... these are now available to the dog, via the boy. And JB could not be any happier about the arrangement!

And today a new development... the gherkin worked out that if he threw his spoon (which he plays with and chomps on at the end of each solid feed), james brown would chase it. Hilarious! The boy threw the spoon, the dog chased the spoon, the mum chased the dog!!! Sent the gherkin into a fit of giggles.

So you can imagine what happened with the rusk... Think we have a new game at our place.
