I went to play care for a few days and I love to go play with my big furry pals there. I was there for 4 days in a row and mom sends me when she needs to socialize a foster. She says it helps them when I go; it makes them feel more secure. Hey! I'm willing! Everything went well and I was happy to be back home everyday. I was there yesterday also and when I came back, everything was normal.

This morning, I got out of my bed to go outside and again, everything was fine. I got back in house, got on my recliner and started to cry. I was whining and mom came to check me out. I was holding my left hind leg in a way to protect it and I was trying to lick it. Mom got worried and touched it. No problem, I let her. I jumped when she trying to move my hip.

She is worried that I have twisted something in my leg or that I am starting to have osteoarthritis in my hip. I had surgery when I was 1 1/2 years old because my previous owner had broken my hip and leg with a baseball bat. Mom is worried that even though I had the surgery 6 years ago, it is causing me problems now.

Please pray that my leg will get better. I will not walk on it at all right now as it is too painful. Mom gave me a dose of painkiller today to take the edge off and she will take me to the vet tomorrow to have my leg and hip x-rayed.
