Well, it's been 6 weeks since my TPLO surgery and I'm doing great! I've been doing physical therapy exercises with my Mom, and we kinda look like idiots doing figure 8's around trees in the park, but I don't mind! I've got persmission to go for longer walks now, 3 times a day, up to 20 minutes long and I can start doing some hills again. Nothing too steep, but it's helping me regain strength in the joint. My Mom said adding some hills to our walk will help her too...something about "sympathy weight"??

I have two more rounds of Laser Therapy to do, one this week, one the following week. It doesn't bother me at all...I don't feel anything. But my Mom and my new friend Shawn wear funny looking glasses while they put this wand thing over my leg. Every forty-five seconds, it beeps and she moves it to another spot. I guess they say it promotes healing...but all I care about is I get a treat when it's over.

And that's the other thing...I'm getting really spoiled on the treats. I get them after I do my sit/stand exercises. And after I do the figure 8's. And after I do my stepping over rail exercises. And sometimes I get them when I don't do any exercises. I must be a great dog.
