Hey everyone,

Hope you enjoyed Mick’s updates last week! He definitely seemed to enjoy it (I think he got a pound or two heavier).

Sorry for the 2 day hiatus on the return. We’re getting back into the swing of things and back to the good routines.

Here’s the update for the past few days:

1. Sunday was when we picked up Mick’s brother, Toby, from “Jail”. The boarding center we use loves Mick, and we felt that having him with us to pick up Toby would be great! Hops around on his legs really well, and I think he’s got more pep in his step! That evening was a chill one since we were still unpacking.
2. Monday, I have off, and it was somewhat relaxing. I did a bunch of shopping to get Mick’s rehab back on track. I picked up 4 pool noodles and put them in the main hallway of the house (the fastest route to the couch for Mick). So following the guidelines his grandpawrents gave, I’ve set them up for him to walk across.
3. Today is super lazy day, mostly because Colorado is in the middle of a heatwave right now, so not going to venture out unless we need to. Plus, getting Mick to walk to the noodles is easy for him! Going to make things a tad more challenging for him soon. I set up a small dog pool on the deck outside (try to get these dogs to enjoy water), but they are not the greatest fans of it.

The next step for Mick is to get his Apheresis done next week, and talk with his Vet to get some more exercises figured out for him so he can walk better.

Overall, Mick has been doing extremely well, and it seems like any discomfort he has is really on his front leg with all the weight it bears and we give him Rimadyl on an as-needed basis for that.

So happy my tripawd is getting back to his regular goofy self! I’ll be talking to Arielle and we’ll see if we can get a recovery picture album setup for everyone to view!
