Penny got the green light from Dr. Walker, the surgeon at ACCES that has operated on Penny four times now! She can be without her cone, roam the house, and exercise as much as she wants. She can be off leash in a couple of weeks, after she's worked out a few times.
She has hydrotherapy scheduled for 11 am on Saturday morning. A few of these sessions will get her in tip top shape and may encourage me to get back in the water, too.
How did I pick her hydrotherapy pool and canine therapist? I guessed. A woman at work sent me a list of pools and treadmills in Washington and I looked at web sites and compared pool sizes, prices, and regulations. I wanted a pool where I could get in the water too, I wanted it to have wide steps, and I wanted the therapist to be excited about my dog.
I went to some of the web sites. Wellsprings in West Seattle was close to me but I heard they had lots of rules and were expensive. I thought I'd try a little bit further out. I liked the write-up of k9rejevenation and the fact that many of the dogs pictured were big dogs and several were boxers and other bully breeds. I emailed the owner and she was excited about meeting Penny. So, we'll see how it goes.
In the meantime, I'll fold up her x pen and put her cone away.
