So far we've had a night where he seemed really sluggish and a bit feverish (this was last nite). I understand they can get this way while cutting teeth.
Today, after he seemed fully recovered from whatever was bothering him last nite, he was racing around the yard, chasing Tucker, chasing toys, etc, decided to take off around the house, tail wagging, with me running after him yelling at him to sit (HA!), and by the time I finally caught up with him, he was favoring his front right leg and has had a slight limp since. No particular part that we touch seems to cause him pain, there's no swelling or anything like that. He goes in to the vet Thurs anyhow, so we'll see how he is by then. Honestly, with as many times as I've seen him crash INTO, rather than go running UP, steps, I'm surprised it took this long for him to hurt himself.
Oh, and then there's still the occasional accident on the floor, the rare terrorizing of the cats (they're all getting along somewhat better now), nibbling that turns into biting of hands, etc...
But he's really cute and fun...so we just have to survive the puppy stage.
