Sad Puppy

Today's blip is brought to you by Merlin:

I sad puppy today. Mummy won't take me out. She says I have to have some icky medicine in my food. She took Molly out and left me here. Maybe she doesn't love me any more. I sulking in my bed. I very sad puppy today :-(

From me:

Saw the vet, Merlin may have Elbow Dysplasia :-( a week's rest (ha! a collie puppy, rest?) and Metacam and see if he's better. If not, x-rays and surgery. While there we had his hernia checked (no longer expected to need repair) and his unmentionables - still half the appropriate number, so surgery for that too in the next few months. Insurance will cover the elbow issue but probably not the other business. I don't mind as long as they can fix him up so that he has a happy life..... please....

PS he grew into the basket!
