My doggie

Has a degenerative hip disease apparently. :( She's no young pup although she likes to act like she is and she's been having a lot of problems getting up and walking. I think it's partly because her nails are long so she slips on the tile but she's also having difficulty when she's outside. Dh took her to the vet on Saturday. He said had it been something treatable like arthritis, she'd appear to be in pain and she isn't. He gave us a RX for Prednisone (steroid) so cross your fingers it will help. Her poor sister was beside herself while she was gone. She even left the confines of the kitchen (which she knows she isn't supposed to) to go look for her and whined to go outside to do the same. They are busom buddies. I don't want to imagine having to let her go....

Oh, poor baby... It's hard when pets get older. They're like people, they just age much faster. I hope the Prednisone works for her.

I hope she feels better soon. She's so pretty!
