He's been doing well with his hydro-therapy and seems to really enjoy it. Vet said he's doing great! I believe we're seeing improvement as well. But then, I have to distinguish between what I hope is happening and what is really happening. lol, but I think he's doing better.

Ryker seems to be enjoying himself.

A little story about Lola, we bought her from scammers that stated she wasa Mini Australian shepherd and would weigh no more than 25 lbs. After having her a few weeks and studying her my husband states “her ears stand up just like a German shepherd” and her paws are pretty big. So we suspect Lola is German Shepherd. We have sent a dna sample in for testing for whatever that’s worth? Time will tell, she is 17 Weeks old and weighs about 17 lbs.

17 lbs. at 4 months isn't really much for the average GSD. So she really might be a Australian shepherd. I grew up with Australian shepherds, They're great dogs,

I got bored and got started turning the storage building (12X14) into a casita. I’ve got it wired, framed up the wall between the living area and the bathroom and insulated it all. Also cut an opening that will become a door between the existing outdoor kitchen and the casita.

Currently, there is a double door that enters into the building, but I don’t need that anymore. But I did want to keep one side so that we could use it to gain direct access to the motor home. So we locked the unneeded side and framed around it while keeping the window area for light. From the outside, it looks like a double door setup. From the inside, it looks like a standard 36" door with a sidelight window.

Ryker is showing concern and I believe I head him asking his Mom if this meant we were spending his rehab money. Poor little guy, he'll be looking for a side job tomorrow!

Nice job and interesting use of the door(s) - I never would have thought of that.

Thanks, he has good days and bad. The water hydro really takes it out of him. Going to be a long uphill battle I'm afraid.

In the meantime, I took up welding. What do you think?

Jim, You have many talents, BUT, this (welding) is one you have not quite mastered yet!! Keep practicing!
"WOOD" seems to be your forte, but just maybe not "METALS"!

 

[newmarokie]

I was thinking the same thing Jabber, practice.

Well, I started out with wood, but it kept burning up in the process. I'll try again . . .
