Pam,
I have one more thing for you to check on your girl before you decide she is
'pushing your buttons'. Have her eyes checked. If she has anything going on
with her eyes, the jump into the vehicle could seem like jumping into a black
hole for her. We had a golden retriever that had her eyes cleared multiple
times but at 8 1/2 she had PRA that had progressed to the point that she did
not want to leap into the van. There wasn't anything wrong with her jumping
ability, she just didn't want to jump into something she couldn't see clearly.

Thanks so much for all your comments. As a bit of a follow up to several
questions: She did have a fully set of X-rays of the spine as well as hips
and legs. No abnormalities in the X-rays, no arthritic changes, cartilage
looks good etc etc. In addition, she was quite able to leap up on the vet's
table for her examination without any help at all.
I think this dog is pushing my buttons and telling me little stories. I am
glad there is nothing wrong with her.
I was pleased to see the statistics Melissa quoted on how many
disagree/agree on their readings. And these are all supposed to be board
certified canine orthopedists with a radiology background. Sigh. And all
these years I based all my breeding decisions on their ratings.
Thanks for letting me rant.
