We have a Doggie Down!

Mardi (on Minnetokonka) , our 14 1/2 yr. old standard poodle took a slip on our hardwood floor, and is now struggling to walk. As dogs and people get old, falls can be dire signs. I do not need to belabor the point . I have seen it too often.
I have administered buffered aspirin, covered the floor with throw rugs (thus the name), and I am a practiced Poodle carrier. I think she will recover - this time. Winter may be tough.
