down in the dog back

guinness has hurt his back --- how i do not know --- he tried twice to jump up on the sofa with robert on sunday, gave a sharp yelp each time and quit trying --- he hasn't been back on the sofa or the bed since then, and can't even hop up to get a treat from the concierge --- he spent yesterday on his pillow except for a walk outside a couple of times --- finally got him some pain meds so i think he's feeling better --- in my experience, you mostly just have to wait out a hurting back
