Jackson has two speeds.  Fast forward with all his heart, or asleep.  Monday night he blasted out the door for his evening constitution only to let out a yelp about 30 feet from the door.  In no time, he was back to me with a worried look on his sweet face and an odd posture.  In keeping with his two speeds of movement, he has two positions … standing and laying down, so when he sat at my feet, clearly anxious about some mystery that befell him in the yard, I got worried.

He seemed OK in the morning, except for that odd sitting down thing … so off we went to the vet Tuesday afternoon.  His sister, Maggie, came along for the ride.  I will let them tell you about the adventure.

Thank you Blue Ridge Animal Hospital in Culpeper, VA.  You are always there for us.  All Dr. Rushing found was some arthritis … my worry wart tendency proved to be unfounded, but it is better to know then to be surprised.
