My poor puppy

Macie's been limping for a while. We thought it was hip pain (since labs so often have that problem - the price one pays for adaptation to water), but now that she's finally (FINALLY - there was some argument involved) been to the vet, he's pretty sure she's actually done something awful and inexplicable to her knee. He couldn't do an x-ray because he couldn't sedate her (she'd just had breakfast), so she's got to go back, but she does, at least, now have painkillers and anti-inflamatories. My poor baby.

On the principal that laughter is good medicine, I would like to share the most ridiculous picture of her that I have:



Facing the cruelty and perversity of humankind with quiet dignity. Or trying, anyway.
