oh, my aching legs!!!

Indigo on Behavior - Thu, November 22 2007

when I'm in the house occasionally some evenings, my legs stiffen up, but when I'm outside it disappears!

Am I getting old???

The short answer: Perhaps!

You may be getting arthritis. Have your mom take you to the vet for a check-up. Don't believe them when they say that glucosamine and chondroitin will help your joints. Take it from me (and my vet) they don't work. Since the Princess is one of the smallish, agile breeds, and used to jumping up/down continually, she knows your joints will get stiff when you lay around too long. Try a leisurely stroll around the house before/after napping. It may help you maintain your flexibility. Keep moving!
