प्रश्न
What excuses did Mrs. Pumphrey make about Mr. Herriot's advice?
उत्तर
Upon receiving Mr. Herriot's advice to put Tricki on a strict diet due to his weight and health issues, Mrs. Pumphrey presented various excuses. She claimed that Tricki was actually suffering from malnutrition, attempting to justify her actions. In her efforts to improve his condition, she started supplementing his meals with malt and cod-liver oil, even adding a bowl of Horlicks at night. However, despite her initial intentions, Mrs. Pumphrey admitted that she couldn't resist Tricki's imploring gaze, which always led her to give in and feed him cream cakes and chocolates. As a result, her good intentions often got overridden by her affection for her beloved dog, making it challenging to adhere to the strict diet plan advised by Mr. Herriot.
