We only had 2 guests for breakfast this morning.  Nancy came in with Bree as I was doing the dishes and Bree was not moving well at all.  She was limping and favoring her right rear leg.  Nancy called and we got an appointment with a local vet for 1:00PM  They were going to work us in.  German Shepards are notorious for having hip dysplasia.  The vet did not find anything wrong or abnormal so he suggested giving her Tramadol.  We had some but forgot to bring it.  So he gave us some.  Bree was seen by our vet before we left town and they suggested monthly injections.  But they were a little costly and we were getting ready to leave.  The shots were discussed again but the local price here was quite a bit less.  The vet also stated that the majority of his patients come off of all the pain meds after the 2nd injection.  So we are giving that a try.  With her monthly meds, its probably a wash.
