Lu's progress continues to surprise. I arrived home yesterday from work and was greeted by Lu and Gus as they were in the backyard playing; Bill was finishing up the lawn. Bill followed me in the house, Lu under his arm, knowing that her old routine would have included bounding up the patio stairs and into through the French door to greet me as I come through the side door. She always took pride in beating me there and I'm sure she will do so again very soon.


Later as we were preparing dinner, we heard rustling around the “toy box” we keep for Lu and Gus. Bill asked which dog was clamoring around, it was Lu. Her interested in toys since surgery has been slim so this is a very good sign. She was interested in a particular toy; it’s a ball with batteries and when it’s turned on, it rolls on its own. Bill flipped the switch and at first Lu just stared. Moments later it was like a light bulb went off and Lu bounced after the ball, puppy-like. She can be so playful and cute. I wish I had caught it on video.
