Water Therapy!
Thursday Du went to his first water therapy session at the State Fair Grounds where the horses train! Talk about an answer to prayer! They charge $6 1/2 hr and they are 10 minutes from our farm. I couldn't be more thankful. Du did well especially since he doesn't like water. Go figure a pure breed American Yellow Lab. doesn't like water! I am hoping in time he finds it to be fun. We put a life vest on him put two lead ropes on is straps and encouraged him in the water enough till he was not able to touch and then he swam! He used his back legs. I felt like a cheerleader cheering him on! He did four laps and collapsed at the shallow end of the pool. I thought for sure he would sleep when he got home! He was all over the place! The next day I thought for sure he would be sore but it was the third day he seemed to be weak. He walked up the two back steps with little help from me yesterday and he came all the way to my room this morning to let me know he had to go out. He went out and immediately layed down to poop! The little things in life I tell ya!!!

Hi Tammie and "Mom"-
ReplyDeleteIt happened again. My uncoordinated fingers hit a wrong key and everything I'd typed up to that point went away. Oh well... lets try this again. I'd already posted my thoughts about DU's new found water therapy on the other blog. That is soooo good! But I was commenting on other similarities in our situations. Family namely. We feel absolutely the same about our daughter in law as your mother in law feels for you Tammie. She's the best! We love her as much as our son or the grand kids. Life is good!!
