| Sometimes a cuddle is all that is needed! |
Rehab,
rehab, rehab, rehab (repeat 18 times for 18 months because of Mom's adhesive capsulitis, shoulder, and knee issues). Then, yesterday Mom and Dachshund Daddy and I
climbed a mountain. Only four miles total, but 2000 vertical feet! Our
goal: work up to eight, nine, ten miles. Mom didn't make it to the top,
though. Her fear of heights stopped her (there was a drop-off on the other side of the ridge), so she sat down to pant and
to cuddle me.
Still. A little bit of progress. All-paw drive
makes all the difference!
Tootsie, please tell your Mom we think she did brilliantly.
ReplyDeleteGail and I are both a bit frightened of sheer drops, and we think stopping for a cuddle was the best idea.
Toodle pip!
