Limpies and other things

We didn't get any answer for the Wuzsters (Denny's) limping at the vets - he checked his paw, foot, knee, shoulder, spine, couldn't find any inflammation or swelling. His joints all moved easily and freely. Can you believe the vet said he is 'stoic' like me ....stoic - that wuzster! We are still waiting for some blood test results but he doesn't think it is Lyme or anything as there hasn't been any cases in our area. The limping seemed to lessen after a good walk yesterday but this morning the little guy was really hobbling. As the morning has gone by it seems to have lessened again though. Mom says she is going to force him to rest ...and she is putting on him D.I.E.T !!!! Mr Vet wasn't happy with his weight and as you can see - he isn't happy about going on a diet either - gawoof gawoof!!

Can we make requests? I'd love to see a Golden on your cards! I'll pre-order!

We will keep paws crossed that nothing is seriously wrong with Denny's paw - could it be just growing pains?

Well, you know that WE just LOVE one of those cards - your work is so pretty.

Any chance the limpies could be related to his meds? Just a random thought.

Poor Denny :(

My first sheltie had a limp that came and went, but when he lost a good 5-7 pounds, it went away for good. I had to start giving him carrots instead of potato chips (Bad mom, I know, but I just couldn't resist his cute face and who can eat only one lays potato chips!).

Hopefully the diet will help solve the problem. Glad it wasn't anything serious.

I hope Denny feels better soon.

Glad they could not find something real serious, but not knowing kills our parents. I like those "doodles", I think they are much more than that. They are great.

The Wuzster, er Denny, doesn't look fat to us. Look forward to hearing more about the gimp. We think he heard the speach about winning one for the gimper.

Sorry you didn't get a real answer about Denny's limping.

Priscilla said...

So sorry to hear that you didn't get an answer from the vet. We hope there isn't any major problem with Denny's leg and the limping problem goes away as soon as possible.

Those cards are gorgeous! Your mom is very talented and artistic.

Hope the leg gets better:( The drawings are fantastic, though.

Thank you so much for your comment about the AireLickies on our blog, Reilly. We think your mom is right! Many times dad will give Molly a wee bit of a cookie and she'll Airelickie! It's the dryness, huh!

Love ya lots,
Mitch
