Word of the Day

Ginormous - Used to describe something so large that it is additively gigantic and enormous.

Gypsy and I are starting to develop a routine when it comes to her therapy sessions. First thing she goes outside and walks on uneven ground to do her thing. Next comes breakfast. Turkey stew. Cetyl-M and daily vitamin. Then we walk the cavaletti course for a couple of minutes before we head out for our morning walk. We only had one tripping incident this morning and the sitting is still sloppy but improving. She gets to rest up at this point while HTP and I have our breakfast. After breakfast, she gets her morning swim therapy. The therapist tells me that the workout she gets from her swim therapy is the equivalent of walking over a mile but without any bad side affects. We go outside after her swim therapy. Drying off in the sun is a lot nicer than drying off in the cool of the house. Then we get to walk around a bit more on uneven ground before calling it quits for a while. Maybe we'll play tug-a-war a few times before our afternoon walk around the block. More tug-a-war before we walk to the mailbox to get the mail. Of course, on Sunday, we'll just walk around the block for a third time...no mail on Sunday. I can already after only three days see a marked improvement in Gypsy's gait. Oh...and I've solved the problem of my getting all wet. I decided that I'll wear a swimsuit.
