[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 543025, member: 84"] That's what I'm hoping too IC. Last fall, he was still very much his old self. You'd never guess he was as old as he is. That's why I said it sort of hit him BAM. I was really surprised at his determination to go on our walk........not to mention walk the normal 2 miles, stiff or sore, pain or no pain. No way was I going to let him do the whole thing.....I hadn't planned on him going as far as he did as it was. I wanted to build him up to it gradually. I don't want him so sore he misses a day if I can help it. But he had other ideas and went totally stubborn on Travis. Like I said, Rowdy is strong as a ox, moving him when he doesn't want to move is like moving a brick wall. Travis better get much more practice on how to be parental like if he ever wants children or they're gonna walk all over him. LOL That's why I took over and just was no nonsense, we were going back home period. Good thing too, if we'd gone any further I'm not sure he'd been able to make it home. Maggie was a little inspiration for him too. She just adores him. No clue why really. Not like they've spent much time together. I wanted to ease him into it and make sure he was feeling ok first. She was super excited to take a 2nd walk with him. (we walked her and Molly first) She was wiggling and wagging all over the place. She'd go up and lick his face and sort of nudge him. If he got slower she'd lie down and wait on him, once he reached her she'd do the super excited thing again. If he stopped, she'd go back and check on him every single time. He does seem to enjoy her, although he doesn't show the slightest inclination to play at this point. That's why I wanted them walking together. She's too energetic in the yard......well, at times down right hyper. On the walk she has to mind her manners to a certain extent. Let's them socialize doing something fun together without her trying to climb all over him. I'm going out in the morning anyway, so I'll be picking up his aspirin. I hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
