Oh Ruthy, I had no idea your Grandfather's situation was that grave. Prayers for you and him, and your family now.

Good, I'm glad you're up.

Sam's got a hitch in his giddy-up...so to speak. He's been limping and whining. Seems to be in his back hip.

This morning he stood at the top of the stairs and cried for 5 minutes before he'd actually come down (and that was with us calling him).

I know joint problems are common for big dogs, and he's probably a good 20 or more pounds than he should be.

Does he need to see the vet? Or are their over the counter things we can do to help him?
