Square Dog Friday. . . waiting for the other shoe to drop.

awwwwww best day of the week !

And I have more to be thankful for this week than others.

.

Last Friday family went to a early last minute dinner

at Takamatsu. I rarely go out to dinner on Fridays because of all the crowds.

But we all met and had a wonderful dinner with much laughter and story telling.

When son and I got home The Square Ones were waiting at the door tails wagging as usual but Watson was crying more than usual.

I just assume it was his dementia acting up and he got frightened.

Bad Mum !

.

Chopping up chicken to add to the dry food for their dinner I put it down 

and Watson wouldn't eat. He rarely eats breakfast but he usually eats dinner.

He just laid down for the rest of the evening and didn't move.

That is when I saw he was dragging his back legs.  Dragging the top of his paw 

before putting his foot down. He wouldn't even use his right leg.

This looked just like Daughters dog Waldie did when his disk went out, 

before each of his 3 surgeries. 

.

We made him comfortable and waited to see how he was the next morning.

He was very restless all night.

The next morning Daughter came over and we drove to the Emergency Vet.

The Doctor gave us some good news bad news, that she didn't think a disk slipped but

later on that still could be a possibility. 

What she was leaning towards was a Stroke.

Only it has a more important name with more letters.
During his checkup all the doctors and assistants came over to see him.

First, they couldn't believe he was 16  he was in such good condition  !

Second, he was so very sweet and super handsome.
Third, they rarely get to see a Scotty
So they were very surprised to see Watson.
Fourth, they were happy to see no massive problems for right now.

.

         When the Doctor came into the room to talk, here was Watson walking.

Not dragging his feet anymore but walking slow with the right one still held up.

They all laughed when we were surprised and answered, 

"Well they all want to go home so they will themselves to walk".

Pictures from last Saturday.

Not sure if thehamish is concerned or envious of all the attention Watson was getting.

My sweet baboo !

His regular vet thinks he has a disk problem, even with not showing

any signs during the examination. 

Two doctors two different evaluations.

So we are watching him for two week checking out his back paws.

Today he seems fine, walking and bouncing around.

But I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I know in my brain he is 16 almost 17,
but my heart doesn't know that.
.

I have noticed for the last few months he was having a hard time jumping up 

on the sofa and his chair.

I just assumed his arthritis was acting up.

Bad Bad Mum.

 Here is your pretty to start the weekend

This is especially for "The Happy Wisk".

I think this was found in the Home Base of "Land Of Political Correct"

Berkley, California. 

What a hoot !

 I just made for the first time some unpolitical correct 

Gingerbread in a non-political loaf pan and it was so good.

What a delicious bread.

Must make more soon.
And there goes my hips !
