We don't know what just happened to Bear, but...

We don't know what just happened to Bear, but we were getting ready for bed and put him in his crate. The next thing we know he's screaming like he's hurt. We all rushed to check on him and he came out and sat with Shaun and Cub for a few minutes. He seemed ok aside from one of his knees being out of place (which happens all the time and he never makes a big deal of it), but Shaun fixed it for him.

We checked the camera and he was making circles like he was about to lay down and he kind of fell over and started screaming. We can't see anything that could have hurt him. I don't know if he tripped or what (he's not the most coordinated pup), but that was scary.

I feel so bad for him. I know some of his issues have got to be in part because of his jankey knees. As soon as he's clear of the seizure meds and ok to undergo surgery we're doing that for him. The sooner, the better to prevent arthritis. It would already be done if the seizure issue hadn't come up.

For what it's worth, I think he's felt pretty good all day. He's been strutting around (he definitely has a walk for "I'm energetic and about to get into some shit." 😂) and causing chaos all day. He's been super playful. So I'm hoping he just maybe twisted an ankle or something and that we're not seeing a new bad thing surface. Poor sweet boy. ❤️
