sick as a dog

Blondie has been sneezing like crazy for the last two days, and also "reverse sneezing." He kept me up half the night on Sunday, because his sneezing fits come in threes. It is awfully cute when a dog sneezes, but, being a health alarmist, I am taking him directly to the vet, since he did have kennel cough just a month ago, and sneezing can be a symptom of pneumonia in dogs, and he has been acting a little bit subdued. Except when he sees a squirrel.

We're also going to have his shoulder checked out, because he has this weird problem where it gets all stiff when he's been lying down. I hope it's nothing....I'm a worse hypochondriac for my dog than I am for myself!
