The other morning we woke up when Slick screamed. He jumped off the bed and screamed again. He didn't seem able to really straighten out . . . and he couldn't sit. We brought him a baby aspirin in cream cheese. He managed to hobble downstairs.
We looked up vets in the phone book. Ross made a call. They opened at 9. We got everyone in their leashes and headed out.
By then, of course, he was fine.
The doctor spoke excellent English. We all think it was a nasty muscle spasm. But what could cause that in an active dog? He's not overweight -- as the beautiful picture above shows.
If it happens again, the vet suggested an x-ray, in case it's a disc issue.
By the way . . . we're on our way to Minnesota in the morning for Ross's talk at the Chesterton conference. Well, we'll probably take part in the rest of the conference as well. But he's the highlight. We'll be back on Sunday.

Slick: He looks good. Of course, I've always found that a bit of aspirin and cream cheese will pretty much cure anything. Seriously though: What was that about? Poor pup!
Btw, I don't suppose there's any chance they'll be televising Ross, in the Chicago-area television market? Perhaps C-Span.
Have fun :)
