Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about
Ok so I walked in this morning and looked at Ringo. Being a little sweetheart he let me look at him really close. Then I seen a small stop on his head that looked like blood on his casque. Took a closer look and that area looks like its bruised. He wont let me hold him so how can I treat this little spot. I would have got a better pic of him but when I went to get my phone he moved. The whole top of his casque looks as though he kept rubbing it on something, its not burned I dont think.
