When the lawn guys came on Monday and knocked on the door, both the dogs snuck out through my legs while I was talking to them. I scooped them both up in my arms to carry them back inside but Baxter somehow managed to squirm free and leap down, landing hard on his front legs. Since then he's been letting out these occasional sharp yelps of pain. We can't tell if he injured one of his legs or his chest or worse yet, his back. My stance is that since he doesn't seem to be in any pain except for these brief jolts, it can't be anything too major. And frankly, after losing Shadow a few weeks ago, I don't want to think about the chance of us losing him as well. |
