Cackle! We’ve got another excuse to cheat the corgi out of her morning doggy-walk: weather!
Seriously: it’s cold as the dickens out there, with cumulus clouds stacking up all around us.
Now, if I were a responsible grown-up, by now I would have gotten up off my duff and walked the hound around the hood. But…but…that would be a sane thing to do, eh?
We don’t do that kinda stuff! 😀
Seriously, though: the hip has been spavined for several days now. Can’t say it hurts like the dickens, but it does hurt. This provides a handy excuse to claim that I’d better loaf…uhmmm…rest for the day, in hopes that letting the joint and muscle be will speed recovery.
And it probably will. If I actually did injure the joint, it happened in my sleep. I would remember if I fell or tripped dramatically enough to elicit this kind of pain. So the only explanation is that I must have twisted around in my sleep and sprained something inside there.

Oh, my! Mountains of spectacular cumulus clouds are piling up to the north of us. And they are beyond gorgeous! What a thing to watch out your bedroom window.
Let’s see what the beloved Wunderground has to say about that:
Thu 01/08 High 60 °F
Mostly cloudy early followed by heavy thunderstorms this afternoon. High around 60F. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 80%.
Ruby is now in her Official Loafing Position at the foot of the bed. The Human is in its Official Loafing Position atop a heating pad, which we hope will soon de-spavin the hip.
Jayzuz! Whatever ya do, kid, don’t get old! Old hurts: every which way from Sunday.
Moment of panic: thought M’hijito had engineered a doctor’s appointment today. Ohhhhh gawd: just what i need to make my day….
But no: nothing’s on the calendar. So…I’m gonna hope it’s safe to assume that’s because nothing has been arranged, and I get my afternoon to myself.
And ohhhh, those flying cumulus clouds are gorgeous!
Two excellent reasons to value
