Things that make you go Hmmmm

Our dog has been limping for a month. Actually he was limping in September, sort of got over it after the vet told us to keep our (3 year old) dog quiet and not let him run for 6 weeks. Yeah, right. We went for doing the best we could. But then about a month ago, the paw came up and he could barely walk around the block. We got some Rimadyl for him to ease the pain, but he was still limping. But this weekend we took him to natz. Across the street from where we parked was a bridge and the stretch of land was separated from the major streets by a lake. We let him off the leash over there to play for a few hours on Saturday and Sunday. It is doggy heaven – snow on the ground and a million squirrels in the trees. He ran like crazy from tree to tree, across fields, and one time almost into the lake. Now he no longer limps. Next time we’ll tell him to just shake it off, and take him mountain biking.

The bad news about our newly re-mobiled dog is that now he’s antsy about staying at home. Just in time for bad weather, he wants real walks again. So much so that at 2AM he started licking my arm to wake me up. “Time to go to the park! Wake up! Mom! Scoot over, I want the pillow!”

I think I’m going to have to break the other leg
