DOGGED

No movie today.

We went for Booker's 6 month checkup at the vet's.

He is, as usual, 92 pounds big and you should feel his ribs but we don't and the vet isn't happy about it but the three of us are. You can carry ideals only so far in reality.

He has an exemplary health profile except for his right elbow which is tight and, probably, arthritic.

He limps.

For now we are trying another anti inflammatory and adding fish oil tabs to his daily intake. Easy things to do.

Maybe there is an x-ray down the line and there is a regimen of glucosamine something shots that can be done. Later.

For us, it is one step at a time. No rushing ahead.

Try one thing, see if it works. Then if not move to another step.

He is such a good boy in the vet's office. We are very proud of him. He gets some treats from them but as we leave, I raid the free treat jar.

It says they are lo cal. Not to add to his weight or anything.
