Well Scruffy is continuing to improve daily, its just little things you notice, the things you take for granted with your own dogs, like Meg counter surfs for britain, Scruff couldn't when he first arrived, but he's starting to now. He's starting to roam further out on walks running around with the girls, and he's not as tired when he gets back to the car all these things point to the muscle improving on his back end. I suppose the most noticeable differnce is he's starting to stand much more normally, when he first arrived he was what can only be described as cow hocked, in that both of his back legs were very close together at the top, now there is a bit of a gap looks much more normal. Most significantly in all the time he has been here he has never limped once, which is very encouraging.

Anyway he went for swim number 3 yesterday, and the first one that i have been able to attend with Nev, Millie and Scruffy, and we were all very impressed, throw him a toy in the water and he fair powers through to get to it with all 4 legs kicking, its quiet common when they first start to not use the ones that are causing them the bother, in all he swam for the best part of 20 minutes with only one break, he was puffing like a good un after, but to be fair its a long time for only week 3. All this makes me think that he really doesn't know that he has bad hips, i fully expected him to be sore this morning (i know Millie was) but he wasn't.

He's also met a lot of new people and dogs again this weekend its been a bit like musical dogs here with one in, one out and another one in, and bless him all he wants to do with them is play.

He really is a fantastic dog who deserves a home of his own, and anybody who meets him will fall in love, as i type this he is stretched full length at the side of me fast asleep if i had the space i would keep him in an instant but i havent so i have to let him go. I know there is a home out there for him somewhere, In the meantime i will just keep putting my lottery on and praying.

Thats all for now

Love Liz, Nev the girls and Scruffy
