Mirfy's having trouble with one of his front legs, which is really tough on him. He puts so much weight on his front legs, putting as little as possible on his back legs. With a front leg lame, he's hobbling pretty drastically.

I'm pretty sure the dogs got into a fight the other day -- Mackenzie has a puncture wound on her muzzle, which I discovered yesterday. Mirfy front leg problem started the day before yesterday, so I'm thinking he might have strained it when making a sudden lunge for Mackenzie.

Anyway, this is something he really needs to get over as soon as possible. He's having trouble getting up and down the ramp and even just drinking water is hard. I tried putting the water bowl on the box I use to raise his food bowl to a comfortable level, but he didn't like it that way.

Right now he's dozing in the spot he last fell -- by the water bowl.
