Liberty 8/23/17 Out and About

Part of Liberty's physical therapy is we take him for 2 short walks per day.  We started just going to the mailbox and back, down the two steps to the driveway then back up the two steps back into the house.  He quickly let me know that he wanted longer walks so we walked about 2 houses down then back.  Over the weeks his stamina has increased and so has his love of a walk.  He's up to about half a mile a day but if it's too hot I don't take him out walking. He loves to sniff everything and leave lots of "pee mail".  I often take him with one of our resident dogs because...hey...it's a walk and my gang certainly enjoys a good walk too.  Days like today when the weather is great with little humidity I fear he could walk longer than I can.
"Take me to the hill lady...and hurry it up"
                                                                                          
                                
"Was that a rabbit? I think it was a rabbit! Maybe a squirrel...no definitely a rabbit"

 Tomorrow he has a check up and we'll get a progress report and probably some additional exercises for him to do.  My main focus is really strengthening those back legs, which will take time but I feel he will get there sooner rather than later.  He loves our vet and really makes himself at home in her office. 
He's not quite ready for the treadmill but when he is, I see him having no problem getting used to it.
