Y'all know how crazy Winnie is about her ball--she loves playing ball more than anything! A few days ago, I noticed she had a slight limp on one of her front legs. So, we have had to take away the ball for the last few days. Oh, the withdrawal! We usually sleep as late as the dogs will let us, then go outside in the back with coffee and throw the ball for 30 minutes to an hour. The rest of the day, she has the ball unless she's napping, eating, or we take it away and put it up. I feel so bad for her--she isn't taking this well. Wandering around whining and looking for the ball--sleeping a lot more. The good news is, she's not limping at all anymore--I'm hoping it was just a sprain.

I would give it a couple of days, poor baby… Wally is like that w/his varsity ball. I have to put it away before he has a stroke!!!

I hope the sweet girl is better soon.

Winnie needs to take Balladone, balladone.jpg to wean her off her habit! I'm glad she is doing better(other than the wining) Maude is obsessed with her jolly ball,but it stays outside, and I only get to throw it once,because she won't give it back!

Aww poor baby, she's missing her favourite toy. Dozed loves his Kong Ball too, and we have to take it away after a while because he gets too excited and then he pants. I hope Winnie feels better soon.

i have a cedar chest beside my dresser in the bedroom. Yesterday I caught her--she had jumped on the cedar chest and then climbed to the top of my dresser to look for the ball (I put it there sometimes when she brings it to bed)! At least it's wet and cold here, not good weather for playing ball. Of course she doesn't care, but I do. Don't know what we'll do when it gets really cold!

So, Winnie is back to her normal self--no more limp. She found a ball on the floor in some out-of-the-way place (she has a bunch of them and we must have missed it when we put them all up). I've never seen her so excited! Anyway, I'm so glad the limp is gone. I read so many scary stories here that my mind immediately jumped to the worst possible scenarios! Thanks y'all!
