Gimpy morning

Today Mac was very gimpy when he got up. He had trouble getting on the couch and was not using his back left leg much at all. He ate his breakfast after a little encouragement. I took him out about an hour after his Rimadyl. He was less gimpy than when he had gotten up. We walked to TL's to collect her mail for her. He was tired and gimpy on the way home, but when I showed him a squirrel he ran and jumped up at it like usual. I spaced out and took him up the stairs when we came inside instead of taking the elevator.
