One Foot Forward
Still working on my feet. I was laid out flat by an insomnia cycle this weekend and spent most of it dazed and in bed and completely skipping any useful exercises, and my foot decided to get better anyhow. I can now walk with very little limp even barefoot, balance for up to ten seconds on a good day (this isn't reliable yet so still needs work) and do the grapevine dance step. I'm not sure I should get rewarded for bad behavior but I'll take it! I'm now back to doing my exercises little by little. Brad is doing very well on his; he still has weak points but his ligament seems to be healing, and he has progressed to the last set of exercises.
The dog has been going largely untrained through all of this; we've been working on door manners and dinner manners and uh... a few other basic manners. But precious little work on everything else, though since our neighbor started walking him he has been getting some work on leash manners. Winter is proving challenging because rodents are moving in under our house for the warm (not getting in, but they are definitely in the crawl space) and he hears their tiny scritchings and starts snuffling the corners and the floorboards, and often wants to try to excavate at two in the morning. Definitely looking forward to warmer weather!
