The laser therapy is certainly helping Ginny, way more than the osteopen (cartrophen) and Librela. Yesterday was her third session, but on Sunday night she came for a pootle around the land with us, and went far farther than normal before needing to lie down for a rest. When we take her out like this, we're not "walking", we're just going from one field to the next, where I entertain the Labs with some games while Ginny rests. Sometimes she stays in one of the earlier fields while we continue to go farther into the land, and just waits for us to return. But yesterday, she went all the way to the farthest point with us before laying down, and while I was playing games with the others, she was sniffing and mooching about. We have another session tomorrow, then I think the vet said one more next Monday then down to one a month, unless I think she needs more. At only €12 a pop, she can have as many as she likes!!

Ah she’s doing ok thanks for asking. Not much in the way of walks these days, although she came for a little potter around this afternoon. She tires quickly and that makes her fall more frequently. She has very little muscle mass, and it can be a challenge to keep weight on her - the complete opposite of how she was before.

I sleep downstairs now so that she can sleep with me on my pillow and have moved my computer to the living room so she can curl up next to me on the sofa while I work.

After morning walks with the others, I come home to HUGE ears on the sofa. I call her and she runs outside to take part in a little treat scatter. She’s still cheeky and loves to do hand touches and middles. When I go out to agility with Shadow, it’s waaay past dinner time by the time I get back, and she lets me know all about it by repeatedly prodding the back of my thigh with her pointy nose while I’m prepping their dinner. She’ll then sprint to the sofa and leap onto it to eat her dinner in comfort, normally with me muttering “so much for being a cripple” as I trot to catch up.

She’s a joy, and a total asshat at times 😂
If the other dogs are on the main sofa (except Willow) and she wants to come up, she will just jump on top of them, wriggle down into the smallest gap, and wait for them to move so she can stretch out. Shadow and Squidge will inevitably get off the sofa so she can take their spot. I wouldn’t let any of the others get away with that sort of behaviour, but it’s Ginny, so… 🤷‍♀️

She and Bella often curl up together on the same bed. It’s cute to see them like this, but I think it’s less about affection for one another and more to do with the fact that neither of them knows much about personal space.

So, that’s her in a nutshell. Still happy and loving life, just at a slower pace than before.

I so enjoyed reading that! Thank you for sharing. Can’t believe how time has flown since you first introduced us to her.

I was completely lost in Ginny's story, what a happy dog she is and all down to you. What a great thing to do in this life to give another creature such joy and happiness, which shines out of Ginny xx
