We've Got Legs Ladies and Gentlemen!
Mood:  a-ok
Yes sir, we do, we've got legs, almost back in full working order. It's been a work out for me getting this little dog back into shape, but I enjoy it. She's back on the "bad" leg about 70-80% of the time, and we're growing muscle (sorry, it's not for sale). The vet says she's even further along than what was first anticipated, so I'm extremely happy about that. I've got her doing some low weight pull training, we're doing stairs (and I mean literally "WE" are doing stairs), and walking daily. It was mentioned to me that swimming is one of the best exercises possible when recovering from this type of surgery, so I thought, ah ha! Lets fill up the laundry tub and have her paddle in one place. I won't go into detail, but we'll just say that idea didn't pan out, and she ended up getting a bath instead of a swim. At least she smells good. Anyway, Brandy is well on her way to recovery, and I can not wait to see how she performs on her new appendage!
