Double helping

After a spell of no Roo, she is making an appearance for a second day in a row.

Like the kennels, she has been going to the hydrotherapy pool for many years.

Initially she went for ‘fun’, once every few months as I was taking Ripley. Then she went to strengthen the muscles around her damaged cruciate and now we’ve added for exercise and mobility to the list.

I’m carefully monitoring how much she did and how she is after the session as there could come a point where the potential benefit is not worth discomfort caused afterwards.

Sometimes I wish she could tell be if things hurt.
