For a week Founder has been limping, weightbearing on all paws, but favoring one shoulder. Nothing else seemed wrong--still eating, drinking, playing as always. Couldn't find any obvious sore spots; he let me move his leg through a full range of motion without complaint. I gave him some Metacam over the weekend and was going to take him to the vet if he continued limping this week. Apparently he didn't want to go to the vet:

The limp suddenly disappeared at the sound of the phrase.."Let's go for a walk, Founder."

Pacer was even lagging behind!

"Limp?? I have no idea what you're talking about. Where's my treat?"
That saves one vet bill!
