"elegy" wrote in message: i used to do a fair bit of directed jumping with her, but i've stopped that since the knee problem, which is a huge bummer, because it is something she enjoys and i enjoy. Does she swim? That'd be a great way to get her all the exercise she wants, with none of the bad side effects. Don't know how hard it would be to do this, but would it be possible to set something up so that she gets to run on, through, and under stuff, something like children's play equipment or maybe something like a maze? You can change it out fairly easily, so she would still have to figure her way out. And if she enjoys using her nose, a little tracking work might be a good way to burn up those brain cells. Suja |

I think it's a fabulous idea. Soft tissue injuries can take forever (months - more months than you'd think) to heal. It might be worthwhile to track down an orthopedic or dog sports specialist. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |
