Lump of Filthy.
Little Filthy didn’t want to move this morning. He usually is up and down the hall, up on to the bed, back down to check his bowl to see if it has magically filled, etc. He’s a whirling dervish, minus the prophetic insight. But this morning?
Lump.
Lump of Filthy.
He had been limping a little last night and it just seemed to have gotten worse. He didn’t want to move at all. This morning? He hardly even wanted to eat – and then, only when I picked him up and set him down on his tripod legs in front of the bowl. I think I stared at him, a little glassy eyed, and said, “Vet” and Besos nodded.
Took him to the vet immediately and turns out that the rabies shot he got yesterday (he was there for a check-up) made his leg so sore, he didn’t want to move. He got an anti-inflammatory shot and some drugs and should be better in a day or so.
It is wrong that one of my first thoughts was hitching his ass up on a sling between two wheels so he could wheel around like a race car?
Just a random attorney writing about daily life with Little Filthy, my rotten dog.

Aaw, LF is back !
I’ve missed posts about him. Tell him I said hi and read him a story for me.
Btw, I just thought you should know I finally got hired at a law firm.

Poor little guy. Hope he’s starting to feel better by now.
I bet if you did hook him up with the cart you’d have skid marks all over your beautiful hardwood floors.

Maybe and Marlowe both have hip dysplasia, and when they get limpy we wheel them around in a stroller. Neither one of them is coordinated to work the doggie cart.

It’s not wrong – when you said he was limping, I had a mental image of that little wheel thing attached to his back half. If not now, will you ever get another chance to do that? Doooo eeeeet!!

I hope he gets to feeling better soon.

Tiffany is correct. He must haves him some bacon.
Is it disturbing that I thought of hitching his ass up too? Of course, it was purely for my own humor, but ya know.

Dude. He’s totally taking a whiz on your rug.
