Good News at the Vet

We got good news at AMVS on Wednesday. Winston's leg has healed a lot since last time we were there. He is off of all restrictions now (hooray!), but we just need to watch him and take things slow. He still has muscle atrophy in the right leg, so it will take awhile to get that built back up, and we may experience some "bad days" where Winston gets stiff and sore after a good day of activity.

This is so great! We took the baby gates down so now he can have time on the bed. He didn't notice this Wednesday night but last night he got to sleep on the bed again. Yesterday I got out the big Jolly Ball (the horse-sized one) and let him have some play time with it. I'll have to take some pictures or video of him playing with that because it's pretty funny. He's a little too obsessed with it since it's been a year, so I had to take it away from him again after 15-20 minutes, but he'll get it back again soon.

He's a little stiff this morning, but not bad. I guess I just need to get used to the step forward step back pattern. It's such a relief to hear that his leg "felt good"!
