Kirk made two years old on March 25th. I was out of town on his actual birthday, but my petsitter spoiled him with a big braided steer pizzle. Yummmmm.
As of today it has been one year since his knee injury (partial cruciate ligament tear). I am so happy to report that he has been doing VERY well!!! I am an extremely overprotective Mommy, but I like to think it has paid off. Over the last 6 months, I have finally let him participate in some new adventures.....including his first FULL hike and even trips to the dog park.
I don't take pictures at the dog park because I am way too focused on keeping him safe....one time he was "rolled" by another doggie and since then I've been quick to take him out if I have any worries about rough play. Anyway, I do have pictures of some of his other adventures to share, and I'm way overdue....so here they are!
Muddy on the hiking trail. His first full hike was a nice easy 5-mi loop in the foothills.
The lighting is off on this one...but here I am showing off all the twigs that have accumulated on his tail....
Here he is waiting for the hiking 'flock' to reassemble.....
Oh look, Mommy! He's back, he's back!! *butt waggle*
More coming...
ETA....I have also digitized ALL of Kirk's radiographs/xrays and could make a thread explaining them if people are interested. I just wanted to gauge the interest before I go through all the work of writing up explanations of everything. Any takers?
