Let me start off by saying, it’s not as bad as it reads and NO my parents are not overly protective just concerned. On Monday I was finished breakfast (which I must say sits better on the tummy since I have been getting those hard core appetizers) and just coming in from the bathroom. Got the necessary paw cleaning then off leash heading for the living room when I lost it. Even with wide webbed feet I could not get traction on the kitchen floor and did a sprawled face plant trying to make the corner. When I got up the front right one did not work properly. Inspections were done and phone calls made. Off to the standby Doc (dang missed the 6am news). Apparently I sprained my front right ankle and have to be watched, plus no stair climber for 2 weeks. Great I get carried up and down and I love it. Darn Doc warned them that I am so smart that I may trick them for the sympathy. By lunch I gave up on the limp but I still enjoy the extra paw and ankle rubs and the carrying up and down the stairs. Grandma called that night but we did not want to worry her, so I have to keep quiet about this. May be she can let Madeira know that the hard core appetizers (antibiotics) really do taste OK and seem to have magical powers. Take care Sis. We had hot and stormy weather this week. I can tell Mom does not like thunder so I show her how to not be afraid and she is getting better at it. On the really hot days I find the AC outlet under the counter is really cool on the head and back of neck. Again a lot of meet and greets- Hi Marie and Karen, thanks for all the loving.
