Wow, its been a while!
It has been about a month and a half since the last entry.I just got a flickr note from someone who has actually read this blog! Wow! I now feel a little like I should have been putting in more posts! She's just been doing better and better. I re-read the entry prior to this one, and realize that she really has come a long way since then.
She is wonky and sounds like "Thing" from the addams family coming down the hallway. This morning my husband said "here comes Thing!" and it cracked me up.
She runs rather than walks. Maybe it has something to do with momentum. She does stand, and can do so for a good bit of time, but walking is an issue. So there is this crazy crooked run with occasional wipe outs all over the house. We have a mostly tile house, so its sad and funny at the same time. We bought a rug for her favorite area. Works better for traction than blankets.
She still favors that left forleg, and I'll often find it curled up under her, but she can actually turn left now. Whe we play catch, I'll try to toss the ball (not too far still) to her left so she is forced to use that leg to turn around.
We completely quit the hydro therapy after only a few times... too scary, and intense for her. Now that she is doing so much better, I may take her to a pond I know of. She can't resist the water, and it really would be good for her to swim. Just have to find somewhere shallow and clear enough for me to get in with her.
