Strength Training




Lucy's strength on our walks is improving. Sunday we did a rather long walk and although she periodically slowed way down, after a good back leg rub, she would pick up her pace and mosey on.

I wish I could say the tripping was lessening, but that remains a day-to-day issue. Some days it's nearly non-existent, others, like today, it's frequent. What's the difference? Yesterday she only got a morning walk; there wasn't an opportunity for an afternoon journey. Could stiffness be an issue? Does lack of movement one day affect agility the next? I don't know, but perhaps I need to pay a little more attention to that correlation. Despite the tripping, her speed is great.
