Yeah, this incident resolved in seconds! We awarded him an Oscar! I was very lucky that at least he did it while we were at the vet's office, and luckier still that she actually saw him doing it. She saw me place him ever so gently on the floor, no slips or anything, and then we did discuss his previous history with the 3 day injuries... she double checked his knees, no pain and only very mild luxation, which she said is typical of the breed... and she checked his feet and toes... He's just an old man (13 years) and just loves people! And especially the vet, it seems!

Lol, how funny, Yorkietalk member alaskayorkie (Mike) taught Eddie to do the limp trick. Here's the thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/my-...trick-vid.html and here's the video.
