Doggie Traction

How has your weekend fared so far dear reader? 

This is our first weekend in a while that we have had pleasant, warm and dry weather. I love the rain but sometimes I would like to go out and not have soggy socks. Yet so far I haven't had a chance to enjoy the good weather.

Our little dog Taylor has been difficult the past 48 hours; to be fair it's not his fault. Sometime Friday morning, he woke up with the stiffest neck and the grumpiest attitude to date (he is a JRT after all). He was shaking, whimpering and shrunk away from having his collar put on for his morning contributions to the landscaping. After a quick emergency trip to his vet we were turned away due to their full schedule of appointments. We had to wait till the evening, making sure he stayed warm, calm and sleepy we finally were able to get an appointment at Linda Mar. We learn that his stiff body posture was due to a pinched nerve in his neck that keeps him from being able to turn to the left. 

Currently he's doped up on anti-inflammatory, pain killers and sedatives to keep him from being active and injure himself more. He also gets to have a yummy meal of homemade porridge and baby food (pampered baby). In a way its rather relaxing to have him asleep for most of the day, the house is definitely much quieter. 

We hope he has a good and quick recovery since this month is packed with events such as Valentines Day (dur), Chinese New Year Parade and Wonder Con. And various animal rescue events around the Bay Area.

Let's do this again soon,
