Hmmmm, He knows you're at home. Dogs are pretty smart critters. I do hope time fixes this.

I do too WG. Right now he's resting, and taking it easy, but it's not easy to restrain a 4 month old puppy. Little stinker.

I'm preparing a heating pack, and going to apply heat right away. Hopefully that will help. If not, we are going to the vet Saturday, and I requested a different vet for his last set of shots. If his leg is still bothering him then, even if it isn't, I'm going to ask him/her to take a look. Hopefully that vet is better than our current one.

If it's worse tomorrow, I'm going to have to suck up the $400 plus cost and take him to an emergency vet. I haven't yet, because I don't think it's an emergency. I'm just really worried.

If I ever visit you, I plan to be limping when I walk in through the front door. Maybe I will get tea and cookies right away.

LOL! Actually, I'll likely put you on bed rest, apply heat, call a doctor, and then nag at you the entire time. Then I'll start a thread on AMHD asking what I can do.

I may give you tea and cookies, but you're getting the full blown Alty paranoia as well. I've lost too many people and fur babies, I go full on "mom" whenever someone even sneezes in this house. Just a warning.

Heaven help us all if you ever see a spot of blood on Rascal.

Already been there. He stepped on a piece of glass a month back. Dog paws bleed like a human head wound. Not good.

I don't want to minimize my fear. Yes, I tend to worry a lot when anyone in my family is sick, or not acting like themselves. But, I can handle all of that. Otherwise I'd be starting a thread on AMHD every single day.

The fear for Rascal is real, and worrisome. I can deal with every day stuff very well, but this isn't every day. I am worried, and there is a reason to worry. Please don't think that I'm just some hypochondriac. I'm not, by any means.
