Webster has been getting professional and home physical therapy since the back surgery and at this point he can feel when you're ticking his back feet, even lightly and will move his legs around and pull away as dogs would do normally. There is no doubt he has feeling in his legs, so it's just? a matter or time, more therapy and getting his leg muscles built back up to the point he can use them. He's doing pretty well, all things considered.
Anyway, he is always having a good time, and he's about as easy to take care of as a fish tank, so no problemo either way. The cats play with him and rub on him and one sleeps with him in the house, and when he's outside in his cart, he does pretty much most of what he would do otherwise. It's been a hot summer which has made it good to be in the pool, and so Webster has gotten a lot of pool time in his life jacket.

Ahhhh, Praise the Lord, Kid....this is some very great and happy news! I am so happy darling Webster is progressing so well. He is one lucky pup to have such a great family to look after him, and a fun pool to swim in! I love his little life jacket too....you can pick him up and take him for a walk.
ReplyDeleteI think and pray about him alot, but I don't always bring it up, because I don't want to invade his and your privacy. So, it's super you keep us updated, and with lovely video's too.
Have a fun Sunday, and enjoy your pool, I'm jealous.
Bunni, Thank you too, I believe your good thoughts have some effect too.
ReplyDeleteI understand Bunni, I'll sure try to update often but feel free to ask.
As far as walking, man he goes all over the place in that cart. We have some wooded areas that are pretty thick in places. Too thick for me to get through but Webster will head into one of those and I'm sure I'll have to crawl in and get either him or his cart, but dang if he doesn't pop out the other side. Anyway, he's having a good time. He never looks depressed.
When we take him out of the pool, we pout him on the grass and wash the pool water off then I turn him on his back and he wiggles and flies around with a big smile on his face. It looks like he's doing the worm dance.
Then I take him for a walk down the neighborhood to finish drying him off.
I can just see darling little Webster doing all that cute stuff, Kid. Thanks for the update. I'm very happy things are progressing so well.
