Got up early to take Chai to the vet to have her growth removed and she couldn't really walk at all. She stood up, and fell. I helped her get to her food bowl - besides the funky back legs, she's limping on one of the front legs. Those poor front legs are taking so much of the burden these days, they must be overworked. I massage them often, but I guess that's not enough.
I let Casey the new dog out to pee, then fed him. I carried Chai out, all 70 lbs of her, to pee, fed her and went back to bed. (I'm still getting over the flu.) No vet today. There's no way I'm adding to her stress, or mine, by having a minor surgery done.
Later today, I went to let Casey out again, and Chai was up and walking slowly by herself now. I carried her outside again. She started barking at Casey's ball, asking me to throw it! She's crazy! Was I babying her too much? Or maybe she needed it for the first part of the day and now she was telling me not to worry so much, she's OK.
This DM stuff sure is done best one day at a time.
