Rest and Relaxation

As we mentioned yesterday, Natasha has damaged her cranial cruciate ligament.  We see an orthopedic specialist on Friday, but hu-dad was tasked with making sure that Natasha did nothing but rest and relaxation all day on Thursday.  Exactly how hard is it to keep an eleven year old dog quiet?  Well . . .

let me out

Come on, hu-dad, let me out of the study.

minions

I need to be outside managing my minions (By the way, you can see how Natasha is not putting weight on her left rear leg in this picture).

brown eye stare

You have never failed to wilt from the brown eye stare.  Do as I command, hu-dad, do as I command.

not talking

I am so not talking to the hu-dad.

    Mom sez: Guess it’s time to start slowing down a bit, ‘Tasha! Comes a time when we all have to begin to make allowances for our advanced age, like the IceMan has. He, too, at 12 years old, likes to think of himself as a “young thang” still, but suffers for it the next day. While we were on holidays last month, Ice stayed out at his “Gramma Debs” place, where he was born, and spent the week running with all the “young’uns”, and when we brought him home, he was totally exhausted, and so stiff it took an aspirin the next morning to get him so he was able to move again. Hope you heal fast, ‘Tasha!

The Queen and Decorum

Even after a long hike, a Queen must always avoid a fashion faux pas like, say, an out of place tongue. No, the Queen and Decorum are intact.
