When it’s either a hematoma or a muscle tear. When I heard that the doctor said this I thought he had to be wrong. But after realizing that he must do a hundred hernia operations/year, I’ve concluded that he must know what he’s talking about.

The doctor’s suggestion was to not lift such heavy weights but that’s not an option. But now that my son of iron breathes while he works out it’s not a problem anymore.

Fred’s attacks on Ed have been relentless. In their last battle, he ripped a piece of Ed’s ear off. That was the last straw. He earned himself a place in the hutch for that. I hate to do it, but I can’t have them killing each other one body part at a time.

One of my coworkers suggested that we rename Fred, Mike. Actually she suggested I name him George after George Foreman. Neither of us knows much about boxers. Garrison provided enlightenment about who bit off his opponent’s ear.

The odd thing about this is that ever since Fred took up residence in the hutch, Ed has been climbing up onto the box that’s next to it and looking in. What is he thinking? That he’s glad it’s Fred and not him in there? Is he wondering how his brother is doing? Does he miss him? He does this quite frequently.
