Explain how Mr. Herriot tactfully used half-truths and half-lies to take care of Tricki without hurting Mrs. Pumphrey's feelings.

Answer:
listless, Mr. Herriot. He seemed to have no energy. I thought he must be suffering from malnutrition. So I have given him some little extra between meals to build him up, some malt and cod-liver oil and a bowl of Horlicks at night to make him sleep – nothing much really.
“And did you cut down on the sweet things as I told you?” Oh, I did for a bit, but he seemed to be weak I had to relent. He does love cream cakes and chocolates so I can’t bear to refuse him.” I looked down again at the little dog. That was the trouble. Tricki’s only fault was greed. He has never been known to refuse food; he would tackle a meal at any hour of the day or night. And I wondered about all the things Mrs. Pumphrey had not mentioned. “Are you giving him plenty of exercise?” Well, he has his little walks with me as you can see, but Hodgkin, the gardener, is down with lumbago, so there has been no ring-throwing lately.
I tried to sound severe. Now I really mean this. If you don’t cut his food right down and give him more exercise he is going to be really ill. You must harden your heart and keep him on a very strict diet.”
