Dammit. My little weiner dog, Daisy, just hurt her leg. I couldn't see her when she did it, but it sounded like she fell down the last couple stairs. Now she's holding the leg in the air, not walking on it and looking upset, tail between the legs. She won't jump up on the couch because of the leg. I tried feeling it and moving it a bit and it seems like it moves okay (if painful). If anything is broken, it'd probably be way up in the hip area based on the range of motion I can get when I manipulate it. But dog legs are not my specialty (better with bird/small mammal breaks). And it's Sunday so I can't get this looked at till at least tomorrow - not to mention that I'd have to take the day off work and I lose a days pay (haven't got much time left on this contract so I really shouldn't do that if it's not life or death). Damn, my last job would be very understanding about this kind of thing. Something tells me the government won't be as understanding about this situation. Man, this better just be a sprain that resolves itself by tomorrow.

EDIT:
Looks like she's doing better now. She's using the leg so we may have dodged the bullet on this one. Whew!
