a very busy but productive week

Sony and I have been very busy the last week or so. as usual work has kept me busy and now with Nick in Baseball its not going to get any quieter! but I found time to get in some work outs with Sony. she was at Melanie's last fri and did very well. Nick and I went to a trial over the weekend and I was able to take Sony for some really nice walks. Monday night I let her swim in her pool so that made her very happy !! yesterday she had off, today I took her for a 4 mi walk with Nick and Rivet. Sony is very tired but she help up good she will have tom off and back to Melanie on fri. earlier today I was at the center where I teach and was helping put together some contact equipment and Sony tested out the new DW plamks. she was very happy to actually do a peice of equipment!!! but I only let her do it 2x rather low. she was def wanting to do more.

fun weekend

I went to MASS for a USDAA trial and brought Sony in to see her friends (Sony has lots of people friends) she had a good time, I let her sit in my chair for a while and watch while I built courses, not sure if she liked watching and not playing but she seemed to like being out and about.
Sunday when the trial was over I gave her a toy and let her do her laps in the ring, she tried to get a few people to throw her toy but i wouldn't let them I wanted to avoid the sharp stops.
she had an absolute blast and was just fine when I got her home. so I am pleased to say that Sony has been sound for almost 1 solid month while being back to rehab. we are both very happy !!

walkie walk !

Sony showed no signs of stiffness or anything after her workout last night so I decided to take her for a walk on the local rail trail. since Nick was home from school, (getting over a cold) he came with me and took Rivet. Sony was thrilled to be out there. we went about halfway to our destination and I stopped to let her rest and see if she was sore. when she got up she was good so we continued on. we rested again before turning around and heading back. again she was fine so we walked all the way back no stops. I gave her some water mixed with her muscle supplement. which she drank right up. here is a pic of the girls having a rest before we headed Back

another good workout

Sony went to see Melanie again last night she has been doing very well no lameness except for one day last week, she was chewing a bone for 2 hrs laying under the coffee table, she got up pretty sore. she walked it off in a few steps, and has been fine since. I figured she might have been laying funny for 2 hrs and it might have fallen asleep or something.
yesterday was a busy day for her. she had a massage at the office by one of our clients then got adjusted . I was going to have her accup but decided that would be too much for one day with going to rehab.
her massage showed her to be a little tight but not too bad. her adjustments were minimal. at rehab she did a little more than last time. some stretching and weight bearing exercises and then a little work on the ball. she worked in the tank for a bit just a brisk walk for about 20 min. and she handled it just fine. when i gt home she was not sore at all and today seems just ducky !!! so later I will take her for a walk.

Been a while

well its been quite a while since my last post, work has kept me very busy. but the good news is Sony has gone back to rehab. she has been back to Melanie and swam at the training center my office goes too once too. just short sessions at first but so far so good. she has been doing just fine. I plan on bring her back very slowly. she is a blob :) her hind legs are the same size but only because the left has built up some and the right has lost. but hopefully now we can build them back at the same rate. we will be watching this very closely.
she has been allowed off leash for her potty breaks outside and she does run around a little. trying to keep her head together :) but she has been a stellar patient. I am not going to plan any goals for her just yet, getting her back to agility is not my focus right now I just want her sound and able to run around and play.
