lounging

Mushka has been enjoying some time outside with Steve & 'the boys' lately. He had his followup apt with Dr. Still on Tuesday and got a good report. His knee is still turning out but she was happy with his progress. We can now take him in 10-15 minute walks and slowly build up to 15-20 minute walks in two more weeks.
If only we had a pool for him to swim in & exercise that hip.....

road to recovery

Mushka continues down the road of recovery and is doing great. We've had a lot of activity in our back yard lately and he has enjoyed watching every minute of it. He'd prefer to be in the middle of it all but we've found a shady spot in the back corner of the yard that keeps him cool while giving him a front row seat. Our follow up apt with Dr. Stoll is Tuesday, we expect she'll be happy with his progress. Hard to believe his surgery was just a month ago. He has been wanting to walk further and further down street each time we take him out.

grass dog

Mushka has been doing much better. The heat finally broke so we've all been enjoying time outside. The muscles in his leg are getting stronger and the fur is growing back, we are in the fuzzy stage. We've continued to let him have more area of the house when we are away which seems to have improved his mood. Still...he does enjoy some time outside.
