Kayla sends lots of tail wags and BC grins and 'I didn't mean to break
that' expressions. She hopes it helps Fluff to feel better.

Jake and Molly will purr in private, as long as we promise not to tell
Kayla.

The Fluffster has started limping and seems unwilling to bear much
weight on her left hind paw. I couldn't find anything wrong, so off
we went on a lovely car ride so she could meet some more really
friendly happy people at her favourite place, the vet (she is *so*
not a cat!).

They couldn't find much wrong either, except that she has somewhat
reduced movement in her hips (its not bad though). She's going under
tomorrow so they can take x-rays. She's currently pleading with her
big doggy eyes to have her 10pm dinner, having entirely forgotten
she had it at 7pm instead do she'll have a empty stomach for the
anaesthetic.

The likely suspect is arthritis, especially since its getting cooler
around these parts and she's a senior doggy that refuses to use her
kennel and therefore sleeps on the ground, silly dog (the kennel is
unchanged, AFAICT). There are many and various treatments and I hope
they aren't going to be fearfully expensive. Her eyes are bright and
she's still got that stupid doggy grin, so I don't think its time
yet. Still, a few purrs, prayers wags and whatever wouldn't go
astray at this point. May it be easily dealt with, whatever they
find.
