This just showed up on my reader for some reason but I have to
agree. That is truly pitiful. Has Duke been reading Carmine's
"How To Look Pathetic and Win an Oscar" manual?

If he had, he wouldn't be showing the improvement that he has. Still
visibly "off", but he's getting on and off the sofa without a whimper and
is standing with his weight distributed equally on all 4 feet. I couldn't
get a vet appointment until Friday, so we'll see how it goes. Ranger seems
better, but it's a little hard to tell.

I was a Very Mean Hoomin and cut off all Duke's toeses (and Ranger's
toeses, and Lindy's most sensitive tootsie-toeses) AND took about a
Pomeranian and a half of hair off the Dukester. He's stoic about being
combed, but did seem to appreciate the massage portion of the torment. His
feet were cool and unreactive, as usual.

Nobody got a long walk today. I groomed/tortured dogs, mowed the lawn, and
battened down the hatches -- RAGBRAI came roaring through Ames today.
10,000 bicyclists (or something like that) and their support teams, and the
route runs a block from my house. They're expecting 30,000 people total to
drop by.
