A Physical Therapy appointment for my Achilles Tendonosis ended up with good results - a series of stretching exercises that I can do at home and no follow-up is necessary. I went in with absolutely no symptoms and after doing the stretches, it is painful to walk when I first start out. Go figure.
I met Ben at his old house on Thursday evening and helped him with some final cleanup and check to make sure everything is out of there. We then stopped at Red Cow - it was sure nice to spend some time with him. Their closing was yesterday and all went well with that. On to the next phase of their lives.
Joey is continually getting used to his surroundings and learning some behavior modifications and a few tricks too. He is getting better at the standard commands - sit, down, stay, and no bites - and we are past the aggressive meal-time behaviors. I took him to a nearby park where they have installed temporary gates at a broom ball rink for dogs to run during the summer months. We were the only ones there, so he didn’t get to run around with other dogs but he fetched a ball a few times and even brought it back to me. He is still pretty needy when I’m on the couch, wanting to be on my lap and be touched constantly and I’m working on freeing up my hands for crafty projects in the evenings. I think we are going to be good buds.
