Lady’s Satisfying Scratch

Several weeks ago, we shared a video of Lady at the “Itchy-Scratchy Tree,” having a great time. She recently stopped by the tree for another few moments, to scratch just the right spot. We giggled watching this video, because I think we all know that feeling of relief when you finally can scratch that one spot that’s been nagging you forever. She seems to have a little dusting celebration afterwards.

    She does seem stiff legged. Are her feet flaring up? ❤️

      her left wrist is always a bit stiff, but sometimes the compensation makes her shoulder stiff. when it does, we medicate there as well. her feet are not in a great place right now. her right foot was worse, the area on that foot is mostly healed at this point, but now her left foot is flaring up. it always seems more difficult for her when they initially flare up, but she’s working through it. for the last few days you wouldn’t know anything was wrong and has impressed the caregivers with her speed. but she has her moments and we try to help her through them. unfortunately, decades of neglect are hard to work against.

    She seemed to have a clump of something white on the right side of her face close to her ear. Love the video. She’s quite lovely.
