Signs that life is returning to normal…
- Toby figured out a way to get down our spiral staircase (faster seems easier than slower).
- Chewing more frequently on Timmy (his feline brother) even when Timmy tries to run away.
- Chasing the laser dot (though, cautious on those corners).
- Pulling on our walks, especially in the direction of *squirrels*
On a separate note, my parents came to visit Toby on Saturday (and see their daughter, son-in-law and granddaughters), we talked about how he’s getting around and how we’ve made some adjustments to accommodate his tripod status (e.g., runners on our hardwood floor). On Sunday, my dad called to say that he is building Toby a ramp so he can more easily get onto our high bed. I guess this is what retired engineers do!

October 12th, 2010 at 6:46 amI think chasing the cat was the big incentive to learn to get up and down the spiral staircase. Thanks for all your support!
October 16th, 2010 at 5:50 pmThat is so sweet that your Dad is building Toby a ramp! Now the question is: will there be any room left in the bedroom????

October 12th, 2010 at 4:35 pmLOL – there’s not going to be any room. My alarm clock will have to live at the top of his ramp…
October 16th, 2010 at 5:49 pmToby, you’ve got a great family there, you lucky pup!
Glad you’re doing well!
October 15th, 2010 at 9:37 pmThanks! We’re grateful for his recovery, too!
October 16th, 2010 at 5:49 pmJust catching up on Toby’s story. OMD he is so cute in his harness.
Sounds like he’s doing really well. Squirrels and walks and chewing on cats.
And that’s one impressive ramp!
