Not long after Bode joined the household Ling Ling, the elderly Siamese cat, ran outside after dark. Bode looked at me and at the door, I opened it and minutes later he herded the cat back in. I knew then he was an extraordinary dog!

I got some medicine after my checkup in March because I was starting to limp. It is warmer now, but my limp got worse, so Kathy took me back and I am on two different kinds of medicine now. They took X-rays, have two bad thoracic vertebra and one in the lumbar region, but there are bone spurs in my right elbow, which is probably what is making me limp.
So, I am taking a prednisone burst for three weeks and drinking and peeing a lot. Sure get hungry too! I feel a little bit better. Kathy was worried, wants me to rest so we only go out around the block instead of all the way to the river trail. The day I went to the vet, I felt so bad that I didn't want to get out of the car at Kathy's mom and dad's place and they are two of my favorite people.
I am still limping, but not as bad. I get around pretty good at first on our short walks.

Kathy's mom had a stroke last April. Kathy needed to go with her dad to the intensive care unit in Pittsburgh a lot. I had to stay home, but I was extra nice each time she came home. Kathy's mom was in the hospital or rehab or residential care a lot after that, even had another stroke. I went with Kathy to visit her when she was in skilled nursing. They said it was OK but it was hard to get in because the other residents wanted me to stop so they could pet me!
Then it got cold. I don't mind snow and rain, but Kathy sometimes needs to stay in. She really got discouraged when there was ice from freezing rain and I slipped (well, more than once). So, instead of walkies I took care of business in the side yard many days. It is getting warmer now, so we are going out more. Woohoo! Walkies!!!

Kathy has been out digging in the ground and putting in seeds. I can supervise her from the porch step. Now that is is warmer out, it doesn't take her nearly so long to get dressed when we go out.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, there are a lot more babies out in their strollers when we go to the trail! Love babies!
