Chi-town Mike,
Thanks for the tip about the bunker. Jas' shoulder recovered well and quickly. She's wanting to play with me even now I as type this. Apparently, typing on a computer constitutes ignoring her and makes me open game for her harassment.

However, I noted she began limping again in late Jan. Nothing to slow her down or even noticeable unless she's walking, and then only occasionally. 'been back to the vet several times since. Vet says her front left (opposite the shoulder issue) elbow is the culprit. Xrays last week didn't show much. Vet suspects a common developmental issue with both elbows. She's referred us to a specialist in thsi field. Apparently, one of the best in Calif. CT scan, bone scan, consultation.... it promises to be expensive. Jas is doing extremely well in the field, but the vet says this condition could be degenerative into severe arthritis if not treated.
