So after yesterday's undignified run for my life, my mom commented that Lilah was slightly limping. Lilah being as active as she is, sometimes gets hurt like any athlete. And like any athlete though, she typically walks it off. She continued to run around and play soccer with my brother like normal.
However later that evening, Lilah was noticeably limping, putting as little pressure as possible on her front right paw. My mom has always been kind and nurturing towards me and my brothers, and just as much so towards the dogs. She immediately told me to comfort Lilah as she herself sat down at the floor to scratch and soothe Lilah. So there we both sat on the ground, with Lilah comfortably resting in my lap while my mom gently stroked her and cooed at her.
Where was my sympathy a couple days ago when Lilah's demon speed caused me to injure my knee and limp around the house? My mom certainly didn't order Lilah to lick my wound! Even on the run earlier, I had gotten cut from some brush Lilah ran me past. Injustice I say!
All kidding aside though, I'll have to keep my eye on her because if it persists or gets worse the next couple of days, we'll have to visit the vet. Lilah isn't one to make a big fuss over an injury. She's tough as nails. So it's possible she could cause further damage to herself. Guess I'll have some time to let my injury heal too.
