N.Lo has perhaps gone through a recent growth spurt, or else the Manager’s unfortunate Klutz Gene has begun to manifest itself. If there’s a way to bonk his head on some furniture, he’ll find it. He trips. He spills things constantly, especially bowls of snacks. Sometimes two and three times for the same snack. Sometimes it’s raisins, which the dogs should not eat, but do anyway, before we can clean it up. Sometimes, his accidents are the direct results of things he isn’t supposed to be doing, but a lot of times, it’s out of the blue and for no reason at all.

Is it just a phase? Management hopes so. Mr. Bump, our refrigerated cold-pack, also hopes so, since he’s working overtime. And I’m sure N.Lo, now covered with bumps, bruises and scrapes, also hopes so.
