Last night, I took the boxes and baskets blocking the stairway leading upstairs to the bedrooms and those blocking the chairs. Now Lily is running around the house like normal but we still don't let her use the stairs leading the garage because I know she has stumbled on those before. She's still a little hesitant when jumping higher than a step and I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe she's got to get used to be allowed to jump up to these places again or more than likely she knows she can't tweak her back again.

Lily turned to look at me very quickly in this picture. We just finished walking along the Rum River trail when I said the word walk. This always gets her attention and she knows exactly what I'm saying. I really like this picture even though it's a little blurry because she turned her head.

Last Thursday I took Lily the Ox Cart trail along by the old Minnesota State Hospital in Anoka. We walked a couple blocks back and forth and up and down the hills that slope to the river. This is the first long walk Lily has been on since Thanksgiving when she was first diagnosed with a bad back that limited her outdoor activities like long walks. We had a wonderful time and I can't wait to take her walking soon. I hope she has a full recovery in 2007 and that day when her back legs stopped working never comes back again.
