We went for a chilly walk yesterday. The mercury climbed up enough to allow us to go outside for a half hour so we took the opportunity to walk the dogs and take Maddie for a stroller ride. To say the dogs were happy to get out is a profound understatement. They love walks and don't get too many in the winter.
Coco is a bona fide freak on a walk. It's like walking a vampire bat on a leash. In the dusk hour, she appears as a fuzzy-edged, fast-moving black hole against the snow as she flies and spins and leaps and twists along. A nuclear reactor doesn't generate that kind of energy. I wish I could trap it, bottle it, and sell it on eBay.
Jake, on the other hand, has been really favoring his bad "Jake" leg lately. He looks ok while walking, but then lifts it afterwards and the whole next day. This morning he looked like he was in pain. Not sure what to do about that. If it keeps up we'll have to take him in to the vet. His tolerance of Coco Loco is wearing thin though, I can tell. One day soon there may be fur flying in the house, and it won't be his.
