Willow continues to improve....and continues to snag my sleeping spot as soon as I get out of bed. When I approach her to say goodbye to D (and Willow, of course), her tail starts to thump-thump-thump against the mattress. She's excited that I'm coming to say hi, but makes no move to get out of my way. Brat!
Just this morning, she jumped up onto the couch to take a nap in the sun. This is obviously not something we want to encourage, as she isn't supposed to be jumping (especially down from the couch), but it was great to see that she's getting some strength back in her hind legs. It wasn't an easy leap, but it's an improvement. FYI, I then had to go over and put her back on the ground so she wouldn't jump down when she was done. I pulled her bed into a sunbeam so she could have the comfort and warmth she was looking for.
Now I've essentially dedicated an entire post to how spoiled our dog is.....oh well.
One can never have too much Willow!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to see how Willow is doing. As a fellow dachshund owner, I can relate!! We got some steps (from Target) so that Molly can get up and down off the sofa-without having to jump down (BAD for the back!!). The bed is a losing battle...they think they own it...sleeping 'next to each other' doesn't exist anymore...Molly is always snug between us. Love to hear you updates...Cathy Owens
