Bender seemed more tired today than usual. Still eating and going out to the washroom.
He was able to muster a little strength for a quick play.

Not sure how I can grin beyond ear to ear...but I am!!!😁😁😁 This boy takes CUTENESS ALERT to a whole 'nother level!
Every single,photo of Bender....E V E R Y S I N G L E P H O T O. of Bender is THE cutest one EVVVVER!!!!😎😎
And I"m sure he knows he's cute too! Yeah, definitely knows he's cute!!!
And as far as being more tired today, that does not surprise me st all!!! NOT AT ALL!!! In fact, when I read what a great day he had yesterday being Sailor Bender, I almost posted not to be surprised if he was more tired the next day.
All of us, dogs or hoomans, tend to do a bit more than we should when we start feeling better after feeling a bit yucky. Sometimes my Happy Hannah would show more tiredness than others, but I just learned that was the new normal. Sometimes it may be that half of the day she was more tired, and then the next half of the day more energy! So no worries, okay? Obviously if you have real concerns or things change, consult a Vet.
And I know I speak for all of us...KEEP THESE ADORABLE PHOTOS COMING!!!😀😀
Keep on keeping on Bender! You are a BullDawg Warrior!!
Higs
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Jist saw about adding the pain med. Yeah, sometimes I would do that with Happy Hannah too off and on. Probably should have been more consistent with a low steady dose. I used Tramadol, but I really like the results people get when using amantadine.

Oh sweetie 🌸
This is such a wonderful picture of Bender with his toy, those loving eyes looking at you can melt any heart instantly 😍
Don’t get discouraged if he seemed a little tired, it may well be he is just recovering from all the playing the day before.
Is he in pain ?
How did you realise that?
Sending you a huge hug and a trillion cuddles 😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹

I think he is a bit sore. He has really bad arthritis and the metacam provided some pain relief. Although prednisone is great for inflammation, it doesn't do much for pain relief.
Agreed, you know him so well. Just the most awesome parent. And you keep it all together so well. It makes my heart swell. Your love for Bender is just amazing. He couldn't be more loved.
❤️❤️ Big hugs ❤️❤️

We love Bender! So happy to hear this.
Yes amantadine comes highly recommended by pain specialists, I hope this helps him feel better. Give him some belly scratches from us and keep us posted!

Ok, so all he needs is a tittle rest and back to more adventures!
So glad to hear amandine can help him too, I didn't know that drug.
