Attitude is half the battle!

Several times a day, ChinChin sits in the playpen and he is always alert and aware of his surroundings as you can see from this video HERE... Once he realized the other dogs could not actually touch him, I found he was more apt to relax and enjoy his time out of doors...

ChinChin tends to move like a seal or walrus does when they are out of water... There's almost a forward momentum roll that gets him where he wants to go... It might take him a bit of time to get there, but eventually he will... Slowly, I keep encouraging him to use those front legs and make them stronger with exercise.. Every other day we do water therapy in a large tub with a life preserver jacket... Initially both front legs were curled inwards... Now his left front leg is almost straight and no longer kinked in... See video HERE...

Another thing we are doing is to increase his mobility with a doggie stroller... Not really the color for his sex, it does get him up off the floor, out and about...Ya do what ya gotta do, ya know?
