Best.Day.Ever.

or at least best day in a long while, bol!
Hey everybuddy, I hope you don't mind a post from me today.
 
 
You know, these days I have a hard time walking on uneven ground.  My rear end isn't as strong as it used to be and when I step on things that are uncomfortable for my paws, I can't really limp or adjust my balance and I stumble or my rear end sort of caves.  Of course this has mom worried.  As a result, though, our adventures and walkies have been kept to a minimum.  I haven't been able to go off road and explore or play fetch in my field.
 
 
Mom has been thinking and wondering if my track shoes would help.  Today we decided to actually give it a go.  I was skeptical...ok...I just didn't want to wear my track shoes...
 
 
Though at least I only had to wear the rear ones...

 
 
Now I can't even the remember the last time I was able to get out into the dirt and do some real exploring, or for me and mom to take a longer walk on the dirt roads around my field.  Let me tell you, with my track shoes on, it was like old times!  To quote mom, I was motoring, bol!  I didn't stumble or limp; just go, Go, GO!
 
 
I even got to step on a bunny, bol!  Really!  Right where I put my paw, the little feller shot out from the grass.  Mom had hold of my fun line but I think I was too surprised to think about chasing it (Mom keeps me on a long line for safety now since I don't hear well any more).  We saw three bunnies today...or maybe the it was the same bunny three times...
 
Anyhoo, besides taking mom on that walkie today for Mother's Day, I gave her big smiles.  She said it did her heart good to see me moving so well and back in my element, so to speak.
 
oof!
 
I was having so much fun and just going and going, now mom wonders if she didn't let me overdo it.
I wonder if I can get another massage from Pip...
*****
Happy Mother's Day to all of the Moms out there!

  4. Wow, I had no idea shoes could be so helpful for a dog, Wriggley! The dog here is way too old for those now... I will be honest, she probably won't be with us much longer... but they might have been helpful when she was a bit younger and her back end started to go.
