doggy business

this past weekend we had our first "major" expense for our dog shiloh. we woke up on saturday and he was limping around on his back right leg. now i know that shiloh gets up in the middle of the night and he likes to go explore in the backyard, but i'm not sure what he could have done to hurt his leg. so i replay in my mind the night's events wondering if i accidentally kicked him or rolled over him in my haste to get up with logan. i figure we will just have to assume it was the insane acrobatics he does to get onto our high bed. dan and i call the er vet that is open on the weekends and of course they want to charge us an arm and a leg for shiloh to be seen. since we are living on borrowed money and have none, we decide to wait it out and see if his leg gets better...it doesn't. on sunday it is even worse. shiloh had turned into a three legged hobbit and of course he won't stay off his leg, he still wants us to play ball with him. at this point we feel horribly bad for not taking him to the vet in the first place so dan takes him. the vet can't find anything specific wrong with him but some doggy pain killers and $140 later shiloh seems to be doing better!

speaking of doggies, we found this one in our bedroom after a bath! i think we'll keep him!
