It was a beautiful day to be out and about.  It is a 45 minute drive to the clinic.  With the drive, the invariable waiting and the knowledge that there might be blood draw, xray, i.e. hours at the clinic &#8211; I decided on the motorhome as our conveyance so we could wait in high comfort if necessary.  <\/p>\n<p>It ended up we were 2 hours in our exam room what with all of the check this, wait, check that.  BUT, we were fortunate to get the room with a great air conditioner.  And afterward our coach awaited cool and comfy as I&#8217;d left the generator going and the A\/C on!  Although we did not need her for waiting in, it was wonderful to sit quiet for a bit after the anxiety of the clinic experience.  I washed my face, had a cool drink, Bear and I shared a slice of cheese and then we hit the road for home.<\/p>\n<p>And, not too bad re Bear&#8217;s leg.  I thought it was hip or back but it is inflammation in his knee.  Dr. Calm believes small ACL tear or just strain and hopefully just strain.  Dr.&#8217;s orders were for a stronger anti-inflammatory (I was giving curcumin\/turmeric) and rest.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Sep12\/DrsOrders7593.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Sep12\/DrsOrders7593.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I &#8220;caught&#8221; Bear following Dr.&#8217;s orders to the letter on Wednesday morning :) !!<\/p>\n<p>But, otherwise, we are walking mostly on leash&#8230;no running\/leaping\/spinning about after squirrels.  We visited Arcturus at his house yesterday.  Arcturus has a beautiful fenced yard with lots of shade and it sits on a hillside overlooking a small lake.  Bear and Arcturus (well, Bear) are not to the point of being in the yard together but I back the Jeep up to the fence so they can speak and we have a companionable visit&#8230;a bit of diversity in routine for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Bear is already moving a bit easier.  We are to continue with the low key behavior for several weeks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Sep12\/DrsOrders7600.jpg\" target=\"Large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Sep12\/DrsOrders7600.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We all do very well at resting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday, Bear and I took a ride in Wild Thing for our appointment at Calm Veterinary to see about Bear&#8217;s gimpy leg.
