So, for those of you paying attention, last Sunday Rufus hurt his leg. I don't know exactly what he did, but he was chasing a squirrel and came back limping. No bone, no blood so I thought maybe he just over extended or pulled something.

It didn't seem to be hurting him and upon advice from a vet-tech friend of mine I waited two days to take him to the vet. That was yesterday. The local vet here said she thought it was soft tissue damage as there doesn't seem to be any breaks, bleeding, ACL or ligament damage. She suggested giving him a week and seeing if he got better before moving forward with xrays/surgery/etc.

She did give me some pain medication for Rufus, though.

Today he seemed almost normal. If I wasn't looking I would have sworn nothing was wrong with him. He's putting weight on it, standing on it to pee, etc.

Until a couple of minutes ago. I was walking around outside with him on leash and he saw a stray cat before I did and took off after it. He got a few steps before he started limping.

Fantastic.

Hope he gets better quick! It's hard to keep them from running but could be that he needs "to stay off of it" from the sound of it.

We've gone for one walk around the block a day since he hurt his leg. This is so he can do his business. Usually we walk 3 to 4 miles a day so it's significantly less that what either of us is used to. I knew he was going to see one of these damn strays sooner or later.

Sounds like he strained it, probably because leg was still out of shape, due to the lack of exercise over the last weeks.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
