Dylan's birthday party

On Saturday, 25th June, Dylan and I celebrated our birthday! Here are some pictures:

The birthday boy

First off-lead run

Last night was the first time that Flash was allowed off lead again! And did he enjoy it! He did a few laps of honour just to celebrate it. LOL

His trot is much softer and smoother and the stride longer. He only hopped once, eventhough Noel said the hopping would stay. So perhaps I can use that as a gauge after all to see how he is doing re pain.

And here's a couple of pictures I took in the last few days of Flash in the garden

Acupuncture and Bowen

Tonight (well, last night really), Andrea, my acupunture vet, came in to do acupuncture and Bowen therapy on Flash. Flash wasn't too keen on it to start off with, but soon relaxed into it and when Andrea had finished, he settled on the sofa rather than retreat upstairs - which I was really pleased about. In fact, he hasn't moved from the sofa since then and actually slept rather than just settled with eyes open like he has done for the last few weeks.

I think it is going to help him lots. Andrea said that he was extremely tense all over his body especially his neck and tummy, which won't help him with the pain. Hopefully it will also help him destress a bit.

He has been on lead for nearly a month now and will be able to go off lead again next week. He will be over the moon and it will help lots with his mental state too! He gets so depressed when he can't run...

I also took him and Skye to Pets at Home today and then for a nice walk in a new park for a while. They both enjoyed it and it made a change for them.

Here's also some pictures I took last week.
