It was a nice walk but Billy was very disobedient so I put him on leash for a while.  BJG was suffering big time with his bum: he had to sit a few times on something hard. I looked at him today and feared he would die in the next 5 years. His bum is taking a massive toll on him. It is awful and nothing can be done. We had a treatment to get rid of a couple of them (hemmoroids):  they got really angry and came back with a vengeance. There is nothing that works. Hubby does not believe that sitz baths are worthwhile.
