Half-Hour Hike

Got Becca back on the trail west of Tortugas Mountain this morning, but only for thirty minutes.  I kept her on the lead the entire way to make sure she went slowly.  I saw no signs of limping out there, but when I gave her a treat upon arriving home she limped a little while hurrying away to eat it.  Yesterday I called the vet to get a prescription of the anti-inflammatory Rimadyl, and I picked it up at 10:00 a.m. today.
