Mauve is how Sandy Chen pronounces Maeve.
Pupdate: We have visited the vet. We have been given drugs. Well Maeve has been given antiinflamatories and pain medication. Oddly, it's the same pain medication my father took. He had bottles of the stuff when he passed. I guess I should have kept some.
Dr. Lazercheff (probably best doctor name ever) said it was pretty pointless to take x-rays because he knew what he would find: arthritis, bone loss and bulging discs. She has lost a lot of her muscle mass in her rear legs. Basically, there is no treatment that will bring her back to full health. Maeve is in her end game and the best we can do is make her comfortable. Her time is measured in months.
That being said, she had a great time sniffing around outside the vets office. We also did a short walk up the street today. Yes, she walks like a drunken sailor ready to fall, but she still wants to walk.
Onward. I feel less miserable today.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
