It has, mom just checked the calendar for me. She's distracted for a bit so I have some time to update here, shhh don't tell her I'm not supposed to be on her chair. So here's the scoop, last year on the Saturday before Christmas I herniated a disc in my lower back like I said before, it was awful. A lot of pain and a LOT of pills and 8 weeks spent locked in my crate except to go outside. I got my strength back after I was released from my "jail" and managed to start walking again and I've been going strong ever since. I can walk with no problem although I get tired and my back left leg stops listening to me and it drags a bit so I have to be carried but mom and dad will let me walk a bit more after I have a rest, I like walks so I'll take them however I can get them. I can run again too, I tried a few times when my legs started listening again but I couldn't quite get it right, one leg was always dragging but not anymore. Of course, mom still won't let me run as much as I'd like but she's worried I'll hurt myself again so I guess she means well. Right now I'm on a house restriction, I can go outdoors to potty and thats it *grump* we've had record cold weather which she says is bad for my back so all playing is limited to indoors, the only thing that makes it tolerable is Lizzie and Maggie aren't allowed outdoor playtime either so they don't have the same problem. Lots of playtime with toys and wresting with Maggie is ok for me though and we've had several trips to the pet store for indoor walks and mom said it is supposed to warm up next week so I can go for real walks again.
