RE: My Little Yellow Shadow — Portraits of a Broken Dog Learning to Heal
hey Crimson! I love reading your posts lady!! She looks like she's doing pretty well now. I can't imagine. The dysplasia is so scary =( My dad has a lab with it, and somedays it feels like it could go at any moment...guess it makes you appreciate things as they're happening.
quick plug!! My good friend Lily just made her intro post as LadyLunasi, If you have a moment, could you go say hi?? She's an incredible lady, and I want her to meet some of the more wonderful Steemians =) Thanks Crimson!
Look at you, good friend. I'll happily go check out Lily! You guys live my kinda lifestyle, and I'm always looking for people to drop in on when I travel. 😍
As for Bert, I'm going to try out a tensor brace from OrthoDog... I hope she can keep hiking with me and Murphy, even if she stays home from our long runs. They just burn brighter than we do, man.
awwww, that's a really delicious way to see it. hmm, I haven't heard anything about braces...I'll have to check it out.
THANKYOU for saying hi to Lily =) I really appreciate it. They are up in NW Pennsylvania, if you're ever in the area, they love visitors, I'm sure you could hit her up. It's a gorgeous little farm... and if you ever find yourself in western Montana let me know!
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.
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 =)
