RE: My Little Yellow Shadow — Portraits of a Broken Dog Learning to Heal

in #dogs7 years ago

Sorry it took so long to reply... I took a forest bath for the long weekend and went off the grid. As for visits, it will hopefully happen sooner or later! I have a dream US roadtrip in mind, just waiting for the dollar and the border to settle :)

I'll let you know how the brace goes...I want nana to have a few more years of (flat surface) hiking yet.

Sort:  

hey crimson! please no apologies! I do believe the best possible thing you can do is take really good care of yourself! Screw the internet!! =) It'll be here when you get back, or if it isn't, then maybe we'll all be happier for it anyway.

Do you girls not go on elevated hikes?

I do a lot, but Bert in the last few months has stopped being able to lift her weight with her back legs. So, I have to carry her if the grade is too steep, or if she needs to get over something like a log or tall roots. It makes her very sore.

Since Murphy is young and very active, and I try to be too, the best compromise for everyone is to go on long hikes, but over flat ground most of the time. Some days if she just wants to sleep, then Murph and I will hit the mountains by ourselves :) If I could, that's all I'd do. CLIMB ALL THE THINGS!

hahaha yeah!! That's kind of my MO as well =)
