Hey Ho, Teddy here. Guess what – Mom took me & Emmie to the dog park today! We had so much fun, there were so many dog pals there to hang out with! Whoo-hoo!
Now dog pals, if you’ve been keepin’ up with my postings, you know that I’ve been having hip problems. I’m 15 years old, you know. So Mom was worried about taking us to the park. She was afraid I’d hurt myself or overuse my hips. Well of course! Ya gotta use your hips when you’re running and playing and having fun!
We only stayed at one end of the dog park. Mom was thinking it’s less hilly there, but I think she was just trying to make herself stop worrying about me.
Now don’t tell Mom, but I did hurt my hips a couple of times when I was playing with a much bigger and younger dog pal. He was so big than when we were playing he knocked me over once, and then one time my hips did go out and I fell down. OUCH! That hurt! But dog pals, I’m a trooper. I got right up and started playing again. Just like any good dog pal would!
But I did take it easy when I got home. I went to my kennel even without Mom telling me, and I curled up and napped all afternoon. Then when I got up, my hips were stiff, stiff, stiff.
Monday I get to go visit my vet so they can see how I’m doing. They always have treats for me there – they know how to take care of us dog pals!
OK dog pals, I’m going to hit the sack now.
Over and out,
Teddy
