On Oct. 4th, we took a walk with Bo & Boquet in the evening. At first, Boquet was off-leash, scrampering around the yard. She made a big circle, then came in for the kill, that is Bo. She played with him a little, then bounced away. She was so happy, with her tounge hanging out. Then we headed over to the obstacle course that is at the local Humane Society. Boquet happily trotted up the teeter-totter, the dog ramp, and the A-Frame. She did the weave poles, then climbed/hopped through the mini tire jump, and over the bar jump, which was only a few inched high. When I reached down to give her the treat, she "sat pretty" for a few seconds! Then I told her "Go Chute!", and she "ran" through it and back to me, all smiles! She went through the chute another time; when she came out, she turned around and wanted to go back into it from the end. As we were walking back home, Mom & I told each other, "If Boquet were to die in mid-air, she would have died happy! She has so much determination to live a happy life!"

It is such a special moment to watch Boquet enjoy herself on the obstacle course, because when she ruptured that disk, she couldn't walk, let alone bounce around.
