Day 26, Wednesday: Very stable today! His sit is much better, and so he is back to having to sit for things. He is starting to want to be with me again, instead of just one bed or another. Poor dog though - yawning, shaking, itching, trembling, all anxiety, and all JUST below the surface. Anything and anyone pushes it over the edge. Sometimes he can barely walk from trying to randomly itch the air...
Day 25, Thursday: Today is better again! Got around his bed ex-pen and followed me down the hall and pushed the bathroom door open to say hello - VERY proud of himself. Walking well, hops on three legs the moment he speeds up. Finally allowed to walk around the streets a bit more. Seems suddenly stronger!?!
Day 24, Friday: Sore today from PT (day changed)! Poor doggie. Gave him aspirin and his Ace. He was even grumpy - did not want to be petted, rubbed, massaged...okay, Tiko! Nighty-night!
Day 23, Saturday: Feeling great today. No limp at all. Began increasing his walks up and down the street several times a day. I would be the crazy old lady in a fleece robe at 4:30 in the morning. Yep, that would be me.. Gave him the dining area again, although really having to add/subtract space depending on mood. Grabbed toy and tried to play until resident witch (me again!) stopped the fun. Again. BUT he has definitely turned a corner!
Day 22, Sunday: Adding more exercises and short walks. Sit-to-stands, walking on uneven surfaces, big figure eights...INSULTED at small caged areas now, settles down with more space. Coming along! Notice he now keeps an eye out for small chinks in the ex-pen...and escapes!
Day 21, Monday: THREE WEEKS LEFT!!!Up early and ready to play! Walked around the block at 3:30 am...of course we did! Went to school and did about 1/4 mile at lunch and another lap at dark...doing really well!
Day 20, Tuesday: Has whole dining room area, three walks a day and sits often! Still very lopsided sits! Extending walks to 12 minutes at a time. On walk sat almost completely square, but then a little sore right after. No sedative at school, and a little noisy!
