Good news! My splint came off on Dec 8th and my leg has completely healed! Jen says it is a small miracle because it was hard to keep me quiet when the splint was on. I had to stay calm for 2 weeks after the splint came off but now it’s full speed ahead! I’ve been able to go lots more places including the grocery store, the mall, a restaurant, and to work. I even went to a New Year’s Eve party at someone’s house. I was very popular and Jen says I was a very good girl. We didn’t stay until midnight though because Jen and Dave are no fun. It was ok as I was pretty tired after a couple of hours anyway. I am enjoying lots of walks and this past week I have been running through the snow at the cabin. It’s good for my leg and it is so much fun chasing my big brother Astro.
Christmas was awesome. I must have been a very good girl as Santa brought me lots of toys and treats and I even had my own advent calendar!
One of the big things I am learning is how to sit properly. Because my back left leg was in a splint for 4 weeks, I default to sticking that leg out. I’m getting better at tucking it in. A few of the other things I am working on are “side”, “down” and “stand”. I’m pretty good at loose leash walking and am practicing staying focused while walking.
Wishing you all the best in 2026!
