The face of painful chihuahua syndrome.


Otterpop’s back is bad again. It’s heartbreaking to see an Otterpop in pain. It’s weird to have a quiet house with no barking, and without the constant movement of Otterpop, who’s less still than a border collie around the house. I try to keep her activity level low, Otterpop is all about less since this has started happening. She spends a lot of time on a leash. Less run, less play, less hike, just a lot of less. Maybe one dash to a ball too many, a hop down the stairs, a run across the living room with a border collie, who knows. Drugs and crate and we’ll see if she feels better in a few days.


Get well soon, Otterpop. It’s a little bit creepy to have this much quiet. Everybody feels sad for Otterpop.
