Stella

Stella wasn't going to be today's blip but I was photographing the back of her for a vet visit tomorrow and she sat so beautifully I couldn't resist snapping the front too :) 

She took a little tumble again today and has a swelling on her hip that's not getting any smaller. It's such a big bump that my Dad keeps commenting on it. Normally he's in the "a dog's just an animal, they get bumps and scratches all the time" camp and thinks I mollycoddle her so it's unusual for him to show concern. She never cries so I don't think it hurts but as she's already on anti-inflammatory medicine for arthritis that may be masking the discomfort. 

Better safe than sorry.
