Me and my dogs in Halifax, Nova Scotia

Poor Daisy. She had to go back to the Vet today to get xrays and they have to put the dog out for that. So she had no food after midnight last night, and then she had to leave Charlie for several hours and be in a cage. And she couldn't have any food at all. And there was food everywhere she looked, and it was in bags everywhere, she could smell it.

So it cost $369.00 for the vet to tell me that she couldn't find anything wrong with Daisy, so it must be soft tissue damage that's been making her limp for weeks - so she can't have any exercise for 2 weeks to see if it'll heal on it's own, and Daisy has to lose 10 pounds and she's got to take Metacam - an anti-inflammatory analgesic that vets like to dispense like candy for the next little while - and see if any of that helps at all.
Really, I don't know how Daisy hasn't impaled herself on a tree branch when we're in the woods because she runs so fast and hard when we go on walks - so it makes sense that she's hurt herself somehow and it just hasn't healed - and when we were at the beach yesterday we were there for an hour-and-a-half. Charlie's been feeling so well lately that I've just sort of let the time we spend at places creep up.

So no exercise for poor Daisy Doodle. She's going to be doing a lot back rubbing in the back yard. She is going to go NUTS. I better keep the video camera rolling the whole time.
