Drama queen? Nah, just looking for the appropriate sympathy when there's an actual ouchie! Better than than the "strong silent type" where you don;t notice anything is wrong until it has gotten even worse.

And yup, Bruni (RB Saint Bernard) had the "wandering limp" act perfected after Dad clipped a toenail a little too short one day because somedoggie wiggled, and she got sympathy afterwards. Wasn't her fault she couldn't remember which paw was theoretically sore when I visited? The first time it happened, I said "Dad, what's wrong with Bruni's paw? Aww, poor Bruni!"

Dad looked at me and said "Absolutely nothing, watch this. Sit, Bruni!" paused a minute, "Okay, c'mere girl," and sure enough, the limp that had been affecting the right front paw was suddenly affecting the left rear paw.
