Bluewater Lake State Park, NM – Wednesday September 28, 2016

We are in site G8 one of the newer areas of the campground.
No electricity or water but it is kind of flat.

This morning started out with taking Hank to a vet. Last night we were playing our usual evening games and while running to jump onto the bed he gave out his high pitched squeal, like he does when something hurts him.  I thought he had stepped on a burr or caught a toe nail.  He was not putting any pressure on his left hind leg.  When he has a burr he usually chews on his paw until he get it out however he was not chewing on it.  The first time he got a burr in his paw he let me pull it out, the second did go as well as the first and haven’t tired it since.  

This morning he did not come flying out of his kennel and when he did he was not putting any weight on his leg.  Google had two vets in Winslow, the first one was out of the office today visiting ranches and the second turned out to be great.  Hank has a strained knee ligament on the inside of left hind leg.  Doc have him a shot and some medication for the next ten days. Said Hank should be better in two weeks but not to worry if it takes up to six weeks, another one of those age things again.  He is to be kind of quiet for the next one to two weeks so he does not over work his good right leg. This means carrying him in and out of the motor home to pee and poo.  Hank has never liked to be picked up however he has been pretty good about it today. Hopefully him and I will get it all worked out and he will not be as afraid as he as been in the past.
