I'm tired and Old Fella is too. Each time I watch him get up and I see that back leg bend out of shape I wait for the sound of SNAP! It bows out so much I don't understand how it stays together. When I can I run over and help him get to his feet just to keep the weight off that rear leg. He seems to be happy and content it doesn't matter if he is limping about and struggling to climb the steps going in and out of the house. He wags his tail and and barks at me when he wants my attention. He eats all of his food and loves to go outside and sit with me in grass. He doesn't want me out of his sight and gets restless when I am. Tomorrow I take him back to Dr. Ford for another shot of her joy juice and cocktail of meds for the joints. He is in no pain when he is resting and he doesn't mind getting up to come check on me if I am somewhere in house and haven't come back to check in with him.
I hope he continues to improve and is well enough to make the trip to Branson without being stressed out. Oh well It's late and I need to go to bed so I am going to say goodnight to everyone and go brush my teeth, pat Fella on the head and tell him how much he is loved, make sure Suzie isn't left out of the attention and crawl under the bed covers and go to sleep.
