Seems to be moving well these days!
With all of us home and snowed in for a week now, has given D.U. time for his paws to heal. It seems that he is using his back legs more alternating them instead of hopping. He came and woke me up this morning so I jumped out of bed and proceeded to the front of the house to let him out and he got all the way to the door before he started relieving himself! I was happy that he made all that effort to try to make it out the door! I am super excited to get his new shoes. I really hope they fit well and give him the traction he need to get across the hardwood and tile floors. I need to do some research on what kind of exercises I can get him to do to strengthen his legs to squat and hold so he can poop with out losing control of his legs. No water therapy this week due to being snowed in. He seemed awnry today and very willing to follow us through out the house. Hopefully the ramp will be ready before Monday. Not sure what this means but if I tickle D.U.'s sides when he is standing he will draw his hind leg all the way up like it tickles. That must be a good sign that he is able to use those muscles differently now.
