Oversensitivity and paranoia are part of who I am, and a lame Meerah last night took me to another planet. (Back left for future reference) When it's my own, it's never the fact that Beti made her squeal in the field, it's never a knock, or a pulled muscle, in my overimaginative mind it's always worse case scenario, so it's hip dysplasia. If it was your dog, I'd be the voice of common sense and reason in the equation, but when it's mine it doesn't work that way, especially when I know that symptoms of H/D become apparent usually between 6 and 12 months. Don't worry, I've already had a telling off from Steve. I'm well aware that I don't have X.Ray vision, but when I'm already in a vulnerable state, sometimes the knowledge I have is a danger to me! Have I noticed other symptoms? Well yeah, maybe I have, an unexplained skip and a hop sporadically, and a lot of sitting in the field, but it's very easy to make the symptoms fit the scenario isn't it!
