Snowy Emma

Since our senior dog Emma now lives in the garage instead of the kennel, I have to take her out and walk her several times a day and before we turn in for the night.

Emma lives in the garage because has arthritis and a bit of dysplasia in one hip. A few months ago, she had trouble standing up without assistance and even walking. (Plus, she and Maggie had some control issues over kennel management.) The vet put her on medication, which meant I had to give it to her. To make life easier for both Emma and me, I moved her into the large crate in the garage.

 Emma has responded well to her meds and has gotten surprising perky. She likes to play in the snow:
