Dear Pearl has been limping for two weeks ---- we finally caved and took her to the vet. A nice chunk of money later we are looking at x-rays and determining that our sweet puppy is definitely in the Senior category. (sniff)

She's on some meds, we've had a consultation with an ortho, and we'll be trying to get her back on track. Hopefully post-poning any surgeries.

First step is to get her on the leaner side of her weight. Her goal: drop 10 lbs.

Our vet has suggsted some different foods and adding some veggies.

Interesting to see how she managed to leave her veggies....keep in mind they were MIXED in with the food......even our DOG IS A PICKY eater!!!
