OUR LITTLE DIESEL

Diesel has been feeling under the weather the last couple of days. He has a spot under his front leg that he has been itching incessantly. So being the responsible pet parents that we are we administered a benadryl in a tasty chunk of cheese for the scratching, as well as neo-sporin and hydrocortisone creams regularly on the irritated area.

He's taken to staying in his kennel and the only body part he moves are his eyes. We've had to carry him outside to use the bathroom and carry him to his bowl(s) to eat and drink. He lays on the couch with the breeze of a fan blowing through his fur watching me knit. He has dog model written all over him. He is doing all the necessary activities to keep things moving through his insides. He is not moving his outsides much. Hmm.

Oh, did I mention Hope took him on a very long bike ride on Monday? She rides the bike and he runs. We have decided his muscles are sore and he plain doesn't want to move. His inactivity has nothing to do with the meds. as we previously assumed.

Tonight he's up and running around now like nothing was ever wrong. I swear it is like having another kid in the house.

We Roderick's are now diagnosing pet behavior. Take that Ceasar Milan.
