Replying to a message of Richard Webb to all:

 RW> sO she's bouncing around doing the feisty puppy thing, three years old
 RW> now, but still full of vim vigor and vitality.

 RW> sHe lands wrong on front feet, and I think pulled muscles in left
 RW> front leg/shoulder assembly.

 RW> SInce then lies around, sort of scoots around when she must
 RW> move at all, and does this rarely.  WOn't eat or drink much
 RW> as she doesn't want to expend the effort to go outside.
 RW> Sometimes she'll wake and do a lot of whining and
 RW> complaining.

 RW> I thought aspirin at first, but somebody else suggests
 RW> aspirin not a good thing.

 RW> RAn a vibrating massager over shoulders and that area which
 RW> calmed and quieted her for a bit.

 RW> IF no real improvement by tomorrow I think we're going to
 RW> have to do something.  Then the fun.  How do I stretcher a
 RW> 130 pound rott to somebody's vehicle and then into the vet
 RW> .

 RW> I have a hand truck but that won't do for this one .

Borrow a neighbor kid's wagon.  I picked up a wagon at an auction several
years ago, it's very useful around the farmlet.
