I am sure this has happened to most pet owner's, you buy the coolest toy at the pet store for your dog, usually they are kinda pricey and do all sorts of cool things, and you think "Wow, my dog is going to love this!" Then you get it home, and they like it, but they don't loooove it the way you thought they would. A short time later you bring home a tennis ball or a $2 frisbee and this is true love, the dog goes nuts for this!
Low and behold Brinley takes great pleasure in the simple things in life, totally thrilled with a tennis ball or a frisbee, all of them far surpass any of the cool expensive toys that reside in the toy box at our house. Hours and hours can be passed with the tennis ball or the frisbee, but only moments with the other fancier toys until she has moved back to her true favorites.
Brinley has been getting into a regular routine, she has made some friends at the off leash dog park and takes great joy in running as fast as she can in the confined fence area's showing just how fast she can go, which is generally faster than all the other dogs at the park, meaning at times she must jump over their backs or crash into them because she can't stop in time.
She now gets excited when she sees her coat and leash come out and starts to prance around in preparation for the big "walk" or "park" event. She has even inspired Olly the pudgy Pug into a regular chasing routine when at the park. He will participate until his sides are huffing and puffing and he has to have a rest.
Fur and skin look better and better and we will see the vet on Friday to test again and see what the next steps are.
