Minnie has made a great recovery. She’s eating regularly and gained back a bit of weight. She seems happy and alert.

When she got sick, I cut her back from our usual  3-1/4-mile morning walk to about 1-1/4 plus another third of a mile at bedtime. She seemed to be feeling pretty good this morning so I increased her to more than 1-1/5 miles and she did great — even had energy left over for zoomies. I don’t know if we’ll ever get back to 3-1/4 miles — but I don’t know that we won’t.

Our time together is limited. She’s a 13-year-old medium-sized dog with kidney failure. But we’re enjoying the time with her while it lasts.
