Proud uncle post

There he is ladies and gents, my new nephew, Carbi, aged 8 weeks. He arrived home to his proud parents, my friends Liz and James yesterday.

You can probably tell from the photo that Carbi is a super-dog. His mission is to hang around with James and alert him if his blood glucose level (BGL) is becoming low. They are incredibly perceptive little guys, they can tell if the BGL is dropping and alert the owner before anything unpleasant happens. This is particularly important for James after he passed out behind the wheel in 2004 and ended up on the wrong side of the road, despite doing everything right.
