Our sweet and beloved LBD (Little Blonde Dog) has been on the older side of old for a while now. Overall, her labs are good, her demeanor is good, but her hind legs are having a tough go on our hard flooring. We’ve known this for a while. Randomly this afternoon I look behind me and she fallen off her small dog pillow and is laying on her side on the floor. I pick her up and she’s a little grunty, but overall seeming grateful I picked her up. I try to put her back down and her left hind leg is sticking straight out. I panic quietly and call Mrs. D who promptly drove home. A friend of ours picked up Trix from me and was able to get Max from school. After she left with Trix I laid the LBD on the guestroom bed and was examining her legs. Feeling each small frail chicken bone all the way up to her toes when I realized…
Do you ever hear a sound that instantly reminds you of something? This sound for me is the sound of bare feet lightly grazing a hard floor when walking. It’s a slight sound, nothing overtly odd. It just reminds me of my Dad walking barefoot around the house when I was younger. The sound of his feet sliding across the floor every now and then would make my own feet sweat. It was cringe-y sometimes. Now, I get to pass this along to my own kids.
If they listen close enough they can hear my feet gently brush against the floor as I walk. It’s AMSR, but mildly irritating. That’s what I’m here for folks.
