I'm sure she does have lower lumbar and hip pain. It just plain *looks* difficult for her to walk, but it's getting easier now that we have taken her off the dry food. She might be losing a little bit of weight, which can only help her.

You can see her big fat self here; she's asking for a belly rub. (I don't tell her she's fat. I know how that feels. But I do want to help her lose weight, just like I need to do too.)
