Riley's Back!!!

Every Sunday, Sabrina walk at the Paine house with a large pack of hounds and their peeps. Sabrina's fur friend, Bandit (aka Mr. Stubbs), and his person have been joining us. It is a nice pack of dogs that all get along and Sabrina and Bandit get a great fun filled morning that leaves them sleeping for hours afterwards.

Yesterday morning was Riley's first morning back with the pack. He hasn't been seen for almost 4 months and boy was everyone happy to see him. I kept him on a leash, of course, as he was very fresh and quite exhuberent. But it was a great moment all the same. We decided to take it easy and walk apart from the group and Riley was allowed about 20 minutes of off leash time. He did wonderful! I am so grateful that he has two good knees to enjoy the rest of his doggy days on.

We really have to thank the most wonderful doggie chiropractor in Framingham for taking good care of him and helping him along his recovery. The practice includes humans, horses, and dogs. Last week, I started my first treatments with one of the chiropractors there and I could not be more happy with the results. Riley got his adjustment first, and then it was my turn! We are treated in different areas of the practice, of course, but I can't help but to get tickled by the fact that my dog and I see the same chiropractor! In fact, Mr. Stubbs himself is going to see him next week too about some "growing pains."

Don't we love our hounds or what?!

Next week, our other fur friend (or shall I say furless 4 legged friend), Mr. Hercules, will be joining our walking pack as well. He is a hariless Chinese Crested. He kinda looks like this photo of the breed, but in my opinion of hairless dogs, he's actually a lot better looking than most of the pictures I've seen.
