New week again

The time seems to have sped up and the days fly away!

We had a nice Saturday starting off with work at K's office. I got a lot of work done, and we also had a nice lunch/dinner. Later in the afternoon we saw "Surfs Up", which was actually really good! I had no expectations going into the movie theater, I thought it was going to be pretty lame. Turned out to be very well made!

Sunday was spent mostly at Busch Gardens. It was so hot tipping over towards 98F degrees (37C). It was also very humid. Hot! Luckily we brought our swimsuits and we rode a bunch of water rides to get wet and cool off. S just passed the 42 inch mark with shoes, so she could finally go on a few rides she wasn't tall enough for last time. She and I rode the roller coaster The Scorpion three times in a row! Lots of fun!

Something is up with Bob and his leg... K had gone in earlier on Saturday morning to the office and brought Bob with him, and S and I came in around 10 AM with Stan. Stan was very excited to see Bob and the both of them were tumbling around for a while when we arrived. Shortly after I noticed Bob was limping, not wanting to put any weight on one of his hind legs.

He has had problems with his kneecaps popping out of place since he was a little puppy, but it has always been easily fixed by holding his leg straight and letting him rest it for a few minutes. This time it seems he has a difficult time to bounce back. Maybe because he is getting old? He is going to be 7 this July, that is 49 in human years.

Anyway, he pretty much refuses to walk. I can touch his leg, stretch it and massage it, no problem. You can tell it is the knee cap since the problem only occur when he bends the leg when walking. He hasn't pooped since Saturday, and I had to sit with him for a very long time last night to finally get him to pee a little bit! He hasn't been that interested in food or water.

I know these things usually fixes itself, but if he his not better soon I will take him to the vet. Poor little Bob!

Today we are thinking about going to the pool. It is better to do it in the morning now, since we usually can count on thunder and lightning in the afternoon. Florida is pretty much like a tropical rain forest during the summer!

Stackars Bob. Hoppas han mår bättre annars blir det nog en tur till veterinären som föhoppningsvis kan fixa till honom. Skönt att ni har poolen som ni kan finna svalka vid. Här har vi nu 33-35 grader och det är jobbigt nog. Hälsa Bob att han ska krya på sig.
