    Talking Cookie running



    We have started running! It may not look like much, but comparing to last year after the accident, January, and even April, Cookie has made great progress. You may notice that the leg still needs some strengthening, but now I can feel the muscles (although still weak) and the neurological issue improved greatly. In the video he is running after a ball but we have also started jogging and he does great on our 1.5 km jogs. We've come a long way (1 year, two months since FHO to be exact), and I hope there is still room for improvement.

    We are currently on a break from PT and are going back for a new session in November.

    Swimming season is officially over, unfortunately, since cold weather has kicked in. But I can't wait to see him running and playing in the snow!

    Ahhh....your handsome obedient boy looks great. It's wonderful that you already run and have been able to accommodate his recovery that way (my two would be out of luck). (but mine don't like to run unless they're chasing each other or going after a ball so I guess they wouldn't notice my inadequacy)

    Cookie looks happy to be chasing a ball again. He has come a long way and it won't be long before he's running with Badu again.
