Oi oi then troops . Overcast Sunday morning here . The dog is limping again . Think it’s an old injury that crops up more frequently just lately . She can go to bed right as nine pence and in the morning she is holding her left leg in the air . There is nothing in the paw . I massage her shoulder which seems to help some what . Think we will have a restful day .. 

As an aside, Igor was in a bad state for a while, arthritis in his hind quarters and a shoulder problem that meant he started limping after 50 meters, it was pitiful to watch tbh. He was/is already on two types of medication, and seemed depressed by it all. 
Went to the vets in desperation and she suggested a bit of osteopothy. 
So I took him and she did half an hour of manipulation, while he looked at me rather bewildered. 
Anyway very quickly his shoulder problem disappeared. 
He can still only do 400metres or so before he tired out, but it’s enough for him to do his business and generally have a sniff. 
He’s in decline but now he’s functioning and seems content. 
 

Might be worth finding one in your area?

 Oh and morning all!

Morning all.

Bitt miffed to wake early this morning, one chance of a lie in.

 

Was up and at 'em yesterday to help my mate sort his chimney, another mate dropped scaffold for us in the morning and we had it done and dismantled again by evening. Stripping it down was interesting, when the top rails were off I was feeling quite exposed,  far less comfortable than being on spikes at that height taking a top, and I'd already taken to free climbing the outside to get up and down rather than the ladder as it felt far better. What you're used to I suppose but strange how the mind works.

 

I've a lot of time for Igor Mick, some good memories of the stuff you've said about him on here, particularly one night when he had the wanderlust and I remember how frustrated you sounded, pacing around the house while awaiting his return! All the best to the wee bugger, I'd say he's a bit of an arbtalk legend!

 

Have a good one folks.

Morning,  up too early after waiting for no news. She gone for the tea.

 

Missouri, Guts.

morning, its hard seeing your dogs age, I second an osteopath, it does wonders for us to get put back into place so the same for animals.

 

My eldest boy is home this weekend so its been nice having him home,  we had breakfast and did so me chores yesterday and then walked the dog where I gave him a go of the drone, he's always been into things and good with technology then we came home and watched Happy Gilmour 2!  I thought it was great, then Chineese for dinner.  A proper good day.

@Mick Dempsey

You're doing all you can and at least he's still trundling about.

Thanks Mick . She seems to improve with movement . Also I do give her shoulder some attention . When she is ike this I lift her in and out of the truck rather than let her jump . I have just got back from a medium walk with no obstacles to negotiate , just walking slowly and about half way round she eventually overtakes me . So for her movement seems to improve the situation .
