Riley is really doing well. We are now walking 20 minutes each walk. Today we went for 3 walks and did just about 1/2 of our old route. We went all the way to the top of my hill, over down past the high school then down over and back down home. Riley showed no signs of any limping or lameness at any point in the walk. That is a GREAT sign. The P/T is working out so well. Cindy has proposed a great treatment plan for Riley which will include walking on a regular treadmill. We have started to do stair work too. Riley seems to be getting stronger everyday. The muscle strength can only help him whether he has further surgery or not.
Riley loves to be with Ryan while he is home which is so great to see. I think he is pretty sick of me by this point so Ryan is his new best friend.
I took Rags to Greystone today and it was another very rewarding visit. One patient sang to him and Rags just laid at her feet and listened. He played ball with the patients but he is not crazy about giving up the ball unless he gets a treat. SMART DOG!!!
