Things I learned today

1) my left hip-bone is sort of fused to the sacrum, the middle hip-bone. My physiotherapist showed me that yes, I have worse range-of-motion in my left leg than the right. This was news to me- I just thought I had lower back-ache from the new bed. He says the bed probably alerted me to problems that had been going onward for a while. He did some fairly rigorous stretches to my back-joints and gave me a pair of additional stretches I'm supposed to do. (I think I'm up to something like 30 minutes a day of stretches I haven't been doing regularly.)

2) maple syrup does not go well on a dog.

3) [various work things that aren't nearly as interesting as 1) and 2)]

I would have thought that maple syrup goes on a dog just fine. Coming off a dog, I could see it being problematic.

I sure that Rover disagrees. It goes ON just fine. And it's tasty. ;)

(Although the sticky mess it might leave behind? Not so fine.)

I would believe that, if it weren't that [livejournal.com profile] roverthedog seems to have left a reasonable amount on her legs, which are available for tonguing.

I think she might agree she'd prefer if she hadn't been syruped; she was licking her paws vigourously, and seemed fine with it then- but then it dried. And that's not counting the clumps on her back legs (!) or top of her head (!)

I spent many minutes with a pair of scissors. And apparently missed some- d said he''s going to give her a bath.
