My dog's hurt his leg somehow, I don't know how he managed it but he won't put his weight on it and he's sitting down at every possible opportunity. He's also coorying in (I never know how to spell that - Scots word for cuddling) to me all the time. I had to leave him though to get into work. I'm leaving at 12 whether my boss likes it or not, and I'm taking him to the vets as soon as I get home.  Look at that face (points at icon) can you imagine him with a sad expression on his face and trying to follow me around hopping on three legs?

I feel really guilty about leaving him alone today - my neighbour will be coming in to walk him and check up on him in a couple of hours but I just want to be at home making sure he's alright.

I hope this is nothing major, that he's maybe just jumped badly and twisted something, but he's getting older - he'll be eleven in a couple of months - and I'm worried.

Edit Missy posted the latest part of 'Touched' on her journal last night - I will be adding my part today at some point. Promise.

Awwwww *hugs* I hope he's okay and that it's not too serious.

So do I, he wasn't yelping when I was testing it earlier - y'know feeling to make sure there were no broken bones or anything - but he was growling a bit in that "I'm uncofortable and you're making it worse" way.

I'm holding all kinds of good thoughts for your dog! May he be perfectly alright! Gracie sends him all her love, too, and says she wishes she could be there to share her biscuits with him!

Thank you - and thank Gracie for me as well! Dram seems to be doing much better now. He's been running about a bit in the field and seems to not be in pain so that has to be good.

The vet wasn't much help really - just told me that these things happen sometimes, real helpful.

Gracie sprained her front leg TWICE and gimped around something awful each time til it worked itself out. Maybe that's what happened to Dram.

Could be, at least I hope that's what it is. He's generally a healthy dog normally so I tend to get stressed when he's not well.

BTW, new part of Touched is done....

I know exactly how you feel! You should see me panic when Gracie has a seizure!!!!


YAY, I have to go read the new part of Touched! Where is it?

[livejournal.com profile] __touched__ - I figured it was time to put it all in one place where both Missy and I can update it.

I just found it, joined, read your chapter, and commented!

I hope Dram gets well soon and am happy that it's nothing too serious :)
