I am crazy about her ...

Miss D has hurt her leg. One of her back, already busted up, legs. I let her off her leash yesterday in the park so she could play with Toby (handsome young Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever) who we meet up with many mornings. And that Dee, she's so silly and she likes to show off with her spins and twirls and leaps and racing. It's my fault I should have known better but is there anything more joyful than two (or more) dogs running and playing and chasing each other ? With one of her dramatic up in the air spinning twirls she landed the wrong way and hurt one of her already weakened back legs. It didn't really show up until we were back home again after our walk, so I think she'll be OK. What we don't ever want is for her to have to have surgery on her knee(s). So we're going to take it easy for few days, have little short walks and no more of her off leash silly madness ... unfortunately.

update - well we're back from our walk and I'm happy to report that Winnie walked this morning with barely a limp. We did not run into handsome Toby, although Miss D kept turning around with hopes that he might soon appear and even though I had great intentions of us having a short walk ... herself (with very determined tugs on her leash) had other ideas. I am very relieved.
