Sick doggie

[dream_labyrinth]

Something's wrong with our dog. She's had trouble walking recently, but we thought she was just acting. There wasn't anything we could see or feel, and she's done that before, limping so we won't take her for long walks.
But this morning, one leg is swollen and hot. We've put icepacks on it and a stocking to keep them in place, but she keeps pulling off the sock. So I am wandering back and forth between her in the kitchen and the study to change the icepacks and put the stocking back on.
Apart from the leg, she seems to be fine. But I am still worried about what could be wrong.
She usually is in pretty good health since we have taken care of the ear thing.
If it isn't better tomorrow, I'm sure Mom will go to the vet's with her.

Something completely else: My list of stories I want to keep track of is getting longer and longer. And that from the person who didn't want to start reading unfinished stories.
There's Wandless Magic by Deeble and Getting the hang of Thursdays by Hayseed on Ashwinder, and shadowycat's Truth beyond memory on Occlumency, and who knows how many more will come. And I haven't even looked into the Pureblood archives yet.
All things considered, it's good that I don't have much to do these days. Once I start working, I need to be very careful not to waste time away on the internet when I should be working, or I'll lose a job as quickly as I got it.

*hugs* I hope everything will turn out okay with your dog. I know how it feels like when a pet is ill. I get all worried and sick when our doggie's ill... :(
