Seeing a doctor is sometimes the only way. Hopefully you will start to recover soon

Glad to hear Suki is improving, Ed

Good morning all. We have very thick freezing fog this morning. The temperature is -3 and the visibility is even worse than in the CDR. This makes for awful driving conditions. I hope it clears by lunchtime when I have to go and chair behaviour panels up in the north of the county.

True. At times there's no other way out. I just do not want to go out in the very cold weather and make things worse. Know what I mean?

At 3:45-4:00 A.M. you meet all of the special people.

So glad you're ok!
Good to hear Suki is acting like a nut!

We took our big 9mo old puppy in a few weeks ago because his front leg went lame and he was in a lot of pain when his shoulder was touched.

He was with the pet sitter who works at our vet. So when we got home we took him to the vet on Monday and it was $480 for x-rays, sedation and meds.
I think if we would've waited a couple more days he may have been just fine.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Glad to know she's better. Why don't you want to take her to the vet again? if I may ask.

Every time I do, it's usually "nothing" and that nothing generally costs $300 plus.

Suki isn't yelping. Isn't licking or doing anything unusual except every now and then, she will raise that leg and limp a few steps.
I'll give it another day. I think it's a muscle pull and not a skeletal injury.

I think that's wise!! I wish I would have waited.
I think my guy pulled a muscle too! After all those X-rays I never got a diagnoses. Just possible ailments.
My dogs wrestle and run the property like they're trying to kill each other.

Last night she ran around the house with a rag, begging my wife and I to play tug with her. We didn't because it requires her to use her back legs too hard.

At least it's "nothing" although that is a lot of money.

It would be money well spent, if it were for a reason.
I mean I never complained about spending a couple thousand on Bertha when she was sick. And that was a tortoise. Not my beloved little dog!
I hate spending money on a diagnosis of: "Rest and then bring her back in a week."

Good evening Sabine, it's quiet in here tonight!
Hope you have had a good weekend.

Thanks

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Thanks

Welcome to the room, @Turtleman135
Even if you didn't mean to wind up in here, we're glad to have you.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I'm outside trying to barbecue but it's super windy and getting cooler quick

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Forgot the best part.
The Portabellas.
As soon as I'm done I need to chase down my garbage cans. They just blew across the street.

[Momof4]

We don't get much rain here but we sure have the past few days!
Here's part of our backyard.

@Momof4

Oh, how terrible ! The muddy water. Hope your house is safe.

 

[Lyn W]

Hi Lyn. What's wrong with Lola? Is he sick? In pain? I sincerely hope not.

Hi Gillian -
Sorry your still not feeling too well. I think seeing a doctor may be the best thing is possible.
Lola is fine at the moment thank you - I meant the pain I was inflicting on him by singing!

Wales is cold but no frost or fog - yet.
A beautiful sunny winter's day.
Drive carefully.

Good morning.
It rained all night long and then on the way to work a few moments ago, I was run off the road by an SUV on the wrong side of the median with no lights.
I won't be needing my Diet Mountain Dew this morning. I'm WIDE awake.

That must have been scary Ed, did he stop to check you were OK or is that too much to expect?
I hope you weren't hurt and no damage done to your bike/truck.

We haven't had any rain for well over a week and none forecast for this week either - its been an unusually very dry winter so far in Wales - drier than most summers I think!
