Yesterday when Dad came home he couldn't find me. I barked until he realized I was down in the basement and couldn't get back up the stairs. He came down to help me and saw that I couldn't move my hind end at all. I was dragging myself by my front legs. He went to pick up Mom (because she knows much more about "doggy" health then he does) and she called the doc right away. She was VERY upset although I didn't seem to be feeling any pain. Dad drove to the doc's because Mom was crying and couldn't possibly drive that way! She held me and I kept kissing away her tears, which made her cry even more - go figure! The doc said I had slipped a disc and Mom would have to practice some "doggy physiotherapy" on me. She was SO relieved! She gets so worried anytime anything happens at my age. Now I have to do "laps" in the bathtub while Mom holds me up in the water. I'm rather enjoying all the extra attention! Mom feels much better and so do I!
