What happened at the portrait studio

This is what Hoshi looks like after jumping off a table, sending it flying thus toppling over a camera flash on a tripod. Once he landed he ran around the studio straight into their office to greet the staff and a toddler. He ran into the office twice before I figured out the door should be closed.

Vet thinks Hoshi has a trick knee

Last Friday Hoshi let out a whimper jumping down the basement steps. He always flies down them skipping the last few altogether. He also fell flat on his face going up the steps. I took him to the vet and I think she said she could move his left knee cap out of place (luxating patella) which isn’t normal. She gave him some pain pills and suggested he rest for a few days. He’s better now but I’ve suspected he has some kind of problem by the way he walks.

Hoshi got skunked

I spent about 5 hours this morning washing up Hoshi. He saw a skunk on our walk and charged it. He was on his flexileash. I thought it was a bunny. I looked up and saw Hoshi standing in front of a skunk with it’s tail up in the air! It got him in the face and eyes. He rolled in the grass trying to get off him. He smelled terrible. I bathed him with about 5 pints of peroxide and a cup and a 1/4 of baking soda plus dish soap. I used his regular shampoo around his face. It helped. You can sort of smell skunk on him but not anywhere as bad as it was.
