He's back from the vets. A little subdued maybe. Verdict is arthritis arising from cruciate damage in the past. As he doesn't seem to be in any discomfort we'll just keep a watching brief.

halfpint Jul 2016 10:17pm, 21 Jul 2016 21,050 posts	0 halfpint We have to cross a road to get from house to beach and I stick E on the lead just to cross as he can't be trusted to stop and wait yet. I guess everyone approaches dog ownership differently. I came home from work tonight to a hyper dog. He was very bouncy on our walk and when we got home his pal Bisto was heading across to the beach so we joined him. There is nothing better than seeing the pure unadulterated pleasure of a couple of dogs rampaging around chasing each other. Not so enjoyable to spend half the evening picking sticky willy out of his fur (I really hope that is not a colloquial expression). There were at least 150 of them.

Bit depressed and finding it all hard work. however I imagine its because I'm so busy and haven't been giving him enough of my time... must try harder (:
