Since I know each and every one of you is concerned about an 11-pound bichon-poodle's every move, I wanted to let you know that Chloe sprained her side. If she were a human, she would have sprained her left love handle.
But she's a dog, so she sprained her side near her bum.
Little dogs tend to jump up on couches, beds, chairs. Sometimes they over-estimate the springs in their legs and think, "I can reach that!" And they hurt themselves in the process. That's most likely what Chloe did.
She's been in pain since Friday. I've been feeding her American cheese laced with crumbs of Advil to help with pain and swelling.
She seems to be getting better. Today, she jumped on my bed. Last night, when I came home from the Festival of Trees, she was waiting for me at the door, tail wagging. (The first day, she couldn't even make eye contact with me, and whimpered whenever I held or petted her. )
In that above photo taken last spring, Chloe was sitting on the top of the couch (not the cushion part, but the part to support the back.) Case in point for little dog insanity.
Onward (but not upward.)
