We’re not having fun tonight, my dog and I. My poor little friend is 14 and arthritic. Tonight, she’s done something to one of her front legs. She’s limping like crazy. It happens from time to time, (a leg just sort of goes out on her, like what happens with a person’s back) and when it does, I usually give her a dose of Rimadyl, a pain-reliever and anti-inflammatory. But I can’t, because she was itchy earlier today and I gave her prednisone. The two drugs don’t mix. So we have to wait out the night, and hope that she’ll feel better in the morning.

Getting older absolutely sucks.
