She&#8217;s right, you know. I tried to hide it from  everyone, and I did a really great job of it too. I was still doing zoomies like crazy, and I was just as fast as always when I did my laps around the yard. You would think I could hide this little thing forever. Unfortunately, the thing that gave my secret away, was the rain. <\/p>\n<p>You see, whenever it rains, mommy makes Nala and I wipe our paws when we come in the house&#8230; EACH one of our paws. First the front right, then the front left, then the back right, and then&#8230; then the back left.*SIGH* <\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t hide it. When my mommy lifted my back left leg to wipe it dry, my back right leg just collapsed underneath me. Ever since that first time, mommy&#8217;s been watching me like a hawk. She told my daddy that she saw me limping a little bit, but honestly, you&#8217;d never know it if you saw me&#8230; &#8217;cause I play so rough and jump and do all kinds of things, just like always. It&#8217;s just when I&#8217;m walking really slowly, when you could see a little teeny limp. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a big deal, really. But mommy is thinking all kinds of things in her mind, and she&#8217;s gonna tell the doctor about it when I go for my vaccinations in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Mommy&#8217;s been trying to figure out how I hurt my leg. All I know, is if she&#8217;s gonna spend so much time trying to figure that one out, she&#8217;s gonna be busy for a loooong time! I&#8217;m crazy! I run like mad, I slide into things (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/home\/2011\/06\/11\/i-slid-into-first\/\">sliding door incident<\/a>), I hurt myself really bad when I was a 5-month-old puppy while running around underneath the deck (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.baileybegood.com\/home\/2011\/01\/16\/lizard-hunt\/\">short story here<\/a>), I&#8217;ve jumped and landed in ways you would never imagine. And if all I have out of everything I&#8217;ve been through, is a little limp&#8230; I think I&#8217;ve done great! <\/p>\n<p>Please tell my mommy not to worry so much&#8230; there are much better things to do in our spare time (like getting Nala and me cheeeese!).
