You know Max has always been afraid of his own poop 
and after he goes he sniffs then takes off like shot. This time it was a bit runny and I think his exuberant need to do the 100 yd dash in 3 sec made him twist his body so that something went out of wack because he was just fine before that.
Jan: the vet said to keep him confined for now but all he does is scratch the door. He's never ever been locked up before and I don't want him to think he's done something bad so I let him wander around and after he ate a few crunchies he's now resting on the dining room chair. While I'm at work tomorrow I'll confine him to the spare bedroom where jumping is limited.
He is 11 yrs old now and it could be that he's getting arthritis in his hips but he's never shown any pain before now. Today's episode may have just aggrevated it.
Thanks for you thoughts. I'm starting to come out of my "funk" now so I'm off to send prayers to everyone else.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
