Cassie joins the gimp squad

Cassie with left paw in bandageIt’s not bad enough that I’m only able to make my way in a wobbly fashion these days, but, now, dear pet Cassie managed to step on something sharp, doubtless during the patio remodel, and she’s hobbling around, too.

Good news, according to vet, is no infection, so she should heal relatively quickly. Linda and I, who didn’t spot the wound immediately, feel like really bad pet guardians.

Actually, at 15, Cassie and I share certain weaknesses and propensities - like getting up from chairs and beds. We sympathize with each other, in that regard.

I’ve also decided, after an attempted Cassie bath this past weekend, that I’m losing the grooming war, and am hiring a pet groomer to come in and work on Cassie every other month. I just have to face facts in some areas…

    Obviously happy to be injured.

    She’s a pretty happy dog, regardless of what comes her way… wish I was more like her.

    . . . don’t we all . . . food without hunting - even high-end left-overs once in a while, warm dens without fleas, decent company, enforced visitation with neighborhood peers, messages, single-payer health care . . . what a life to be more like her. Ruff.
