I know exactly what you're talking about.
One of my Pekes (Dino) had the same thing. It never bothered him but whenever I lifted him up by the chest, I could sometimes feel it sticking into my hand.
I think it's a weird genetic thing that some critters get. Not harmful that I know of.
Unless it's a hernia, but that wouldn't feel sharp and bony, I wouldn't think.
I'm so sure. :-/
At first I thought it was a hernia... but it's not... it's bony.
Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease....
Heh yeah - why am I asking you these questions?
ROTFL at that last one!! Reminds me of the squirrels who would hang by their back toes on the window casing trying to reach the bird feeder that we'd stuck to the window with suction cups so we could watch them eat. I hit the window once when a squirrel was in mid-munch. I think I caused
a heart attack!
I guess I could hang it in the bathroom...but there's something about sunshine that always seems to do a number on stuffiness!
Hung it on the balcony for now...hopefully so long as it isn't left there, no one will say much. It's a little chilly out - forty or so - but I cracked the door for a bit. Tam is watching out, though he's all hunched over. I think he's cold, but doesn't want to admit it. ;-)
Heh...they especially like it if you threaten some sort of action for using older TPS sheets. ;-)
Seriesly, at one of the places I used to work, when the Swiss contingent came over, they told management that employees should be fined for using the former logo. The logo was redone about every coupla months, seemed like, and it was MINOR stuff. Like, as one example, the logo was all red except for the dot above the "i", which was black, and sat directly on top of the rest of the letter "i". They redesigned the logo, adding a teensy tiny bit of space between the black and the red. NO ONE but management woulda even noticed! *shakes head*
And this attitude is why I'll never make manager. ;-)
Heh...that last shot is especially good.
One of these days she's gonna lose her balance! Hope you do catch it. Is that wrong of me? ;-)
It's a wonder that Tweek hasn't even soaked her tail in the tank yet.
I guess when it does happen, it'll be the whole body at once. *laughing*
kitty oddity ping
It was bound to happen sooner or later. I should have expected it especially in light of what she did yesterday... but I didn't.
This morning I have been putting up my grandma's old bed full size in bittygirl's room. Yep, she has crossed over the barrier, so to speak, with a thud and a cry.
I have a bed guard I can put under the mattress and the bed is shoved up against the wall. She knows already how to get up and down from a regular bed, so there's that.
oh yes, AS FOR WHAT SHE DID YESTEDAY, oops - sorry aout that.
She climbed out of her pack-n-play at my mother's house and came looking for me ~ no crying that time. My mother says she is a bruiser, LOL!
*shakes head*
Kids just feel like they haven't completed their day until they've given their parents one heartstopping moment.
Aly has fallen off the bed a few times and since we have tile floors, she lets me know immediately when it happens. OUCH!
I've been fortunate that she's never cracked her head open.
She sleeps with me most of the time now, so I form a human barrier against injury. :-D
Ya know, when we get that Hobbit Hole compound, we have to make sure Empress comes along. Need a vet with all the critters we've got!
Need to recruit a regular doctor, though, I s'pose...
In our family it seems like about every second or thirty kid was "on the danger way" as one brother put it as a three-year-old.
Margaret took on more than most though. Eek! And she gets all upset when we start telling other folks stories about her now. But man! It's amazing she survived toddlerhood. What made me think of it is that she could and did climb out of everything, and she was the one kid that *did* split her head open, though luckily there weren't actual fractures. She managed to undo the belt to her highchair and rocked the whole thing backwards and caught the edge of the hearth when she fell. Had to get stitches.
For my brother's sake, I hope his new daughter doesn't count as the next naughty kid. ;-) On the other hand, he was one of the rotten ones, so...
Holy smokes. I think I'd faint if I saw one of my kids to a fall like that one. :-/
Sheesh. And she seems so normal now...
Hmmm....
