Dear Father Christmas,

All I want for Christmas ... is ... HEALTHY dogs!

Just as I thought Sing is probably injured his back spine or the muscle near his groin from the pond incident and today he twisted his left front leg, he is now limping very badly, he hardly put his weight on the leg and he looks all miserable again.

It was very cold over here this morning, -4.5c. I took all the dogs out for a good long walk around Mitcham Common, the boys and the girls enjoyed the frosty Common, they ran like maniac and we played ball. As Lucky is quite a "dominant" dog, she likes to "fight" when there is a ball and food invovlved. Sing always trying to tell her off when she gets too close but she always ignored him totally. This morning, before going out for the walk, I noramlly try to do some tricks with them and Lucky was very aggressive towards the treats and with no reason she bit Sing's right front paw; when we were out in the Common playing ball, she got very excited and when Sing jumped in the air to catch the ball, she tried to jump but landed hard on top of Sing. Well, Lucky may look small but she is well built so poor Sing landed badly and twisted his left front leg. I rang the Vet a couple of hours ago to check if the anti-inflammatory jab is still working as it normally last 24 hours. I need to make sure Sing is away from all dogs and keep very quiet for tonight and he will be back to the Vet again tomorrow morning. My poor boy, he had some very bad days lately!!
