X-rays for Jack on friday.....

i think if we were not so active i would let it go and not do it but with the hiking and pack carrying i want to make sure im not hurting him, Jack is a trooper and does not show pain often, freaking dog will walk around with a pricker in his pad unless i see a slight change in his walk to catch it myself and make him stop to remove it.

Dropped Jack off at the vet. i felt so bad leaving Sierra home all alone should have word this afternoon.

You could have just left her with a pile of newspapers to play with.

speaking of paper i was in the shower this morning and heard some noise and poked my head out and Sierra took a piece of paper off the night stand and was eating it! i said drop it and went back to showering and when i was done she was down stairs and left the paper, i was kind of proud of her for leaving it im sure i will come home to a puddle of pee as that seems to be her means of revenge.

Ha, funny should say that. Asia's revenge when I leave her in the crate and take Mya and Kody is to pee. Like saying "oh you left me? take this lady!"

Hope everything is ok with Jack!!!!

Well the vet just called, with Jack screaming in the back ground! his hips look good. the right side where i tend to see an issue look great so it must be a muscle thing. she did see some border line degrading on the left socket area and said it is something to watch and in a few yrs down the road to recheck. i will be switching Jack to the glucosamine that Sierra is on as it has done wonders for her. she also said he had a huge poop in him!! and they took him out after the xrays and he went and it was a bit soft (im sure from the stress) but it was good of her to tell me to keep an eye on the poo and feed him some yogurt tonight. she asked if he had stressed induced diarrhea and i was like he has never been in a stressful situation before so i did not know, well i guess i know now.
Im glad to have spent the $ just to know i am not harming him in the activities we are doing, and now we have a "good" xray to referrer back to in the future if that left hip does get worse we will know how fast it is progressing.

now on to Sierras eyes......

That is amazing! I got acupuncture from a family friend who was an MD and acupuncturist. He is truly a magician with his fingers and those needles. 3 sessions and a 3 month old nerve pinch in my back was gone! I went from barely able to climb in and out of my car to back to doing capoeira!
