There is not a lot to share, this is just a midweek check-in. Plus we're on day 60 and who doesn't like round numbers?
Most days are a carbon copy of the last. The weather has been a bit warmer and a bit more humid, which might be affecting the dogs' energy levels a bit. Even Ren seemed a bit done in this weekend so we didn't push too hard and took things easy. For the most part, though, we're still jogging four laps in the morning and getting in a 5 minute swim each day. The hill work seems to come and go. If Jedi seems tired (or his leg seems tired) then I forgo it.
We're still dealing with the twist as Jedi walks, which stems from him toeing in and stepping too far under his body. Interestingly, during his nightly massage sessions he also still tries to tuck that leg in tight and crosses his right lower leg under the left. I can still manipulate his stride to get him to place his foot straight, and he strides out wider on his own when he's pulling like a freight train (like on the way to the creek), so I'm still hoping that this will go away with time and the return of his muscle. It sure is a long process, though. On the other hand, I realized today that if the goal is to return to an agility trial after 20 weeks, we aren't even halfway there yet....
I have a couple of videos today. One is snippets from our morning fitness session, in which I chopped off Jedi's head in most of the clips.... (Link for mobile: https://youtu.be/fGLRTE9O3fI )
The other video is just our standard progress update video -- trotting, walking, and swimming, since we do it every day! (Link for mobile: https://youtu.be/SKI6z1cGveE )
