It's now been 6 weeks since Sidney had FHO surgery for his hip dysplasia. I was feeling very worried and depressed a couple weeks ago, because Sid seemed to be sad and he just didn't seem to be moving well. Then last weekend, it was like he turned a corner and started bearing weight on the leg and taking some "normal" steps. Over the past week he's been moving easier and just seems, well, happier. He's got that glint in his eye again. We have three more weeks of swim therapy.

When we go on a walk (short walks, still) he either does not stop at all, or else stops very briefly. We've been able to go a little farther bit by bit. He's also gotten the confidence to get up on the sofa and on the bed. When I came home one day he got on his hind legs to jump up on me (a no-no but still I was glad to see he felt well enough to do it), and I *think* he bore weight on the leg today to pee. WooHoo!

Today I decided it was time for the Corgi Recovery Condo to come down. The pen is now safely stowed in the garage and I have a little less clutter in my living room. Yay!

Tomorrow is the big San Diego Corgi Halloween Meetup. Hoping for clear skies!
