Pooh Bear's hydrotherapy started today!

[JackieMaya]

I walked Pooh Bear down to the lake (about 2 blocks) today and started his hydrotherapy. He loved it! He spent most of the time walking in water that was too deep to be able to hop so that he had to use all four legs. And he swam a little too. And on the way home he was using his "new" leg a lot! So I'm going to take him there every day (unless it's storming).

After I got him home, I put Maya's swimming harness on her (so that I could attach a 50 foot check cord) and took her to the lake. She had a BLAST! She was leaping through the water, swimming, leaping, swimming, pulling mom down in the water, leaping, swimming. And I got lots of exercise today too with taking both dogs to the lake and walking around in the water.

But now Maya's starting to get a puffy eye, so I think she's allergic to the lake! I'm going to give her a Benadryl.

I didn't take Jackie to the lake today since she's not feeling right.

I must have been seeing things with Maya, because her eyes and face look normal, which is good because I couldn't find my doggie Benadryl.

My back and fingers are killing me after Maya dragged me all over the place in the lake today! She was having WAY too much fun! I had fun too, even though she pulled me off my feet into the water. LOL

I'm only four houses away from the lake, but it's all private homes there, so I have to walk about two blocks to get to where I can take the dogs in. But there are lots of ducks and birds, so the lake is pretty skanky.

I know the people who live in two of the houses right at the end of my block. I should ask them REAL nicely if they would let me take my dogs into the lake from their property. I'm sure the lake is much cleaner there.
