Hanging up her football boots

Poor Bramble had to visit the vet today, as she started limping very badly and was obviously in considerable pain. Sadly he confirmed what we had suspected for some time, that she has rheumatism in both front elbows/shoulders, and that we should now really cut right back on her ball-catching and fetching (her two most favourite activities, apart from eating). Meanwhile, no walkies at all for five days!
