RobinM Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Well, we've moved back into the bedroom. We took our 15 inch mattress off it's boxsprings and the frame (which I absolutely adore!) apart, put it safely away and have the mattress on the floor. So we went from the den looking like this.... to the master bedroom looking like this.... Polls still doesn't do the stairs so I am getting a good upper body workout when I carry her up and down the steps 4-5 times a day. Last night she put her foot onthe first step on her own but wasn't ready. Her walking is greyt. Although, walking with a bounce, it is much smoother. We went to the corner and turned around (my idea not hers!) which is about 8 houses. We are taking baby steps but we are getting there. I am very proud of her and I make sure I tell her so about 100 x a day! Also- DH replaced the snap hook from the leash to the collar with a plastic one and she does not get clunked in the head with metal anymore!

Guest BlackandBrindle Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Polli is very lucky to have found a family who loves her so much. I am also very impressed with your Dh. I'm glad she is doing well. She was one of the first pups I went a searching for (old threads) when I got in last night. Thanks for the update. Polli continues to be in our prayers.
